There are a lot of inferior players making more money than Letang nowadays.
Because Letang's a way better defenseman?
Yeah I know Letang signed a while ago, but it's still crazy that clearly inferior players are making more than him.
That kind of sets the market for Schultz, no? If spurgeon got 7.5 then Schultz probably gets 6.5-7. Or I guess the 6m Myers got also works as a comparable.
No chance. Spurgeon is effectively the Wild’s # 1 D. Schultz has been 4th on our team the past two years.
Letang didn’t sign a while ago, he signed 5 seasons ago. That is why.
Just wait until Piets gets 9mil + term. Then this will make more sense.
Sigh. This lockout is gonna suck.
This makes zero sense.Given the RFA deals, I see no reason the players are going to ask for a lock out.
This makes zero sense.
Only a subset of players are affected by RFA first of all, and individual salaries don't mean that much since the players' total share is fixed, so whether higher or lower is just redistributing where the money goes among players.Every RFA so far has gotten fair to above fair value. Ownership like wants to lessen term caps and extend RFA qualification. I see no reason why the players would go down that road and they likely are not getting anything better than the 50/50 deal that is present.

And the eventual lockout has absolutely nothing to do with some of the recent contracts signed.
The players won't. But this CBA will be up in a few years either way (even if neither uses an escape clause to get out early). And when it is up, there will be a lockout as the owners push for even more favorable terms. Either a lowering of the 50/50 split, or more exemptions of HRR or whatnot, or stricter rules on contract structure (aka bonuses), or something else. The only way we avoid a lockout is when the owners have more to lose then they have to gain by locking out the players - and we're not at that point yet.
It won't be the players looking to get more than 50/50, but the players fighting the owners to keep 50/50 (or other rights/benefits that they currently have). Every lockout we've had in the last 20 years has been the owners looking to take something from the players.
Let's not get carried away lolLetang is underpaid by like 4 million bucks.
Let's not get carried away lol
That's great and all, but would you actually pay him 10m?He’s likely a 10+ mil D if Doughty and Karlsson are 11+ mil.

By the time Letangs contract is up we are pretty much done. Not sure what a 34 year old Letang will get on his next contract though, but wont be 10M long term or anything.That's great and all, but would you actually pay him 10m?
And I thought he was overpaid back then. Right now it's probably fair value.Letang? We paid him a similar equivalent in 15-16.
I was more asking if he'd pay the current Letang 10m.By the time Letangs contract is up we are pretty much done. Not sure what a 34 year old Letang will get on his next contract though, but wont be 10M long term or anything.
