If you give Panarin that kind of money then how are you going to pay MacKinnon later?
Mack is getting 15-20M on his next deal, unless things go horribly wrong, either way

That's be quite the leap... I'd be shocked at 20M unless the cap explodes in the next 4 years.Mack is getting 15-20M on his next deal, unless things go horribly wrong, either way

If Mack was a UFA this summer, couldn't he (easily) get over 13-14M per? Thinking about it in that light; another 1-2M a year, after 4 more years of cap-flation, feels like lowballing it to me.
Not saying I think he'll hit 20M, but I do think 15M per will be at the bottom end of the fair range for MacK's next contract...unless the next lockout just kills all interest in the NHL from casual fans or we win so many cups in that time that MacK decides to give us a big hometown discount.
McDavid received around 17% of the cap in terms of his AAV at the time of his deal. In my opinion, McDavid's cap percentage sets the upper limit on what any player could seek on a deal. In order for MacKinnon to reach $15 million AAV on his deal (17% cap percentage), the cap would need to be around $90 million, or around a 10% increase.

I think Avs can realistically get Panarin, but the only way we're going to get him is if we pay him as the most expensive player in the league with a full NMC or NTC on max term. Would people be okay here if we pay him more than McDavid?

Never seen backtracking this hard.
