If Evan continues on this path and gets to 25ish goals, 55ish points. He is going to get paid. Someone is going to offer 25/5 if not more. Hell, The Pens might. If Malkin may get 6/3 and be happy. Letang is the real issue. I wont be surprised if someone offers him 3 years at 9 a year.McCann has potential, very good potential. But he will always barely scrape the surface of it. Dupuis and Rodrigues are quite similar. They both are hard workers with a great shot and can produce but were always sort of held back into a role they thought they needed to play to carve out a career. Rodrigues isn't just scoring fluke goals, he's creating and actually looking like a legit top 6. If Rust can be the same, why can't Rodrigues?
Also Godrigues probably also knows he's a good fit and will find a way to stay and get paid.
The Free agent pool is super interesting this year. You have a lot of 27-20 year old players who currently make 5-6ish a year coming to market.
Forsberg, Hertl, Domi, Palat, Niederreiter, R. Smith, Burakovsky, Trocheck, Strome, Kadri, V. Rask, Rakell, Rust, Copp, etc.
Is Rodrigues in this group of players? Maybe, with only this season was the selling point, absolutely. Only time will tell, but if he continues to play like this, more then one team is going to offer him a 25/5 deal.
