Let's see who is most right

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Prayers up to Cap.

 

[Curufinwe]

I predicted 6 x 6

Guess there's plenty of money to spare now that Hart won't get another contract.

8/$6.25. Let's split the difference.

And they need to fill the sniper role without Gauthier.

 

[Chinatown88]

Fills the ginger requirement.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Bahahahahaha

This team is the model of maximum payouts for secondary players.

Nonsense deal, but such is life when the organization is so bereft of any talent.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

They better put a f***ing tether to Frost with this.

 

[mr figgles]

Gotta bury that other story with an overpay.

 

[Starat327]

Lol.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This organization is so predictable though. Tippett is a fine player but they can never get out of their own.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Don't hate the player , don't love the contract even tho its probably a fair deal.

Tippett gets 8 years, $6.2M AAV

 

[FLYguy3911]

Not the type I’d bet a max term contract on. Feel like they are betting a bit too much on potential for a UFA type deal.

The AAV is about what was expected tho.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

What's the general going rate for 50 point players these days? $6m doesn't seem too bad based on the production we got out of Hayes and JvR at $7m or $7.5m each.

I question if it's worth giving out contracts like that when the team is supposedly in rebuild mode though. The term would be the biggest thing for me.

Edit: Well there it is. 8 years is a lot but I guess it won't be too bad if the cap actually goes up at a steady rate.

[flyersnorth]

He's turning 25 in a few weeks. I'd be happier to see a 6 year deal than an 8 year deal.

But I do like Tippett, and I'm happy to see them get him signed long-term.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

This is a great contract.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Seems like he gets most his points at even strength too, or am I imaging that lol

 

[kudymen]

When you get both the priorities and the effort/amounts right. Hehehe

 

[PALE PWNR]

Solid deal if you think he's going to be more than what he is currently and will continue to improve. Would you pay that if you think he can be a consistent 60-70 point 30 goal scorer?

 

[Random Forest]

Would have preferred 6x6m, but this is fine. You’re getting UFA years of a likely 30+ goal scorer. Was never going to come cheap, and if you’re one of those who believes their window will be opening in 2027 or whatever, then you get the benefit of a discount in those years when he’d probably command $8M on the open market had he taken a 3-year deal at, say, $5M AAV.
