It will likely be something very close to Barkov's deal
6 x $5.75M or
7 x $6M or
8 x $6.25M
I'd guess that it'll be close to these numbers. I'd like to see the 8yr deal myself.

Melchiori cost per point: ∞
Stuart's pretty close to the bottom as well. $875,000. 738th out of 756

I think the AAV starts with a 6 Aavco, regardless the term. But you might be right.
Dreger on H&L a couple days ago said Scheifele's next contract will start with a 6. I wouldn't argue with that.
We drafted this kid.....watched him develop. His body has caught up with his brain. His intangibles are off the charts. You lock up guys like this - a cornerstone moving forward.
Pay the going rate...no niggling over a few hundred large, or whatever....and just get this done
I think the arguing will be over term. The Jets will want 8. Scheif camp will want 6.
Maybe they settle at 7?
Think Scheif and his agent will want 8 as well. Maximize guaranteed money is usually the goal for player and rep. The negotiation will be over how much Scheifele would be worth in his UFA years.
Agents would actually prefer 5 years. That way their client is younger when the next one (UFA) is due. 6 years has become pretty standard for these after ELC contracts for a reason.
I wanted to make the same point, but he does have a point with the "how much Scheif's worth in his UFA years". Why not, if he and his agent feel they get fair compensation for the UFA year(s) + being older when its up the next time. Some might prefer getting a part of the pay for the expensive years in the end of the contract to be pulverized onto the earlier ones and get it a bit beforehand.
I think there's a chance Scheifele does go 8 years.
Would you guys do 8x7? To me that seems a bit high, but it could be a possibility.
If your starting point is Barkov's deal then the Jets would be paying more than $10M for each of those extra two years.
I think that is too much.

The Jets have never done a max 8 year contract. Bogo s 7 year was the max term that they have done.
I think it will be 7 years as well.
Yea I wouldn't be surprised to see a 6 year deal.
Last five years, has there ever been an RFA where we'd have been comfortable going 8 years?
