yeah you def always have to overpay from what they are now to expect a player to sign for the full eight at such a young age.True, so in an unknown situation why is there such a demand to want term. Can we understand that if a team isn’t projecting a player to be as good as Benn that the player might believe in himself to get to that level this not want to sell himself short. That’s probably why guys want something shorter. Stone gets $12 mill each for the 2/4 non potential work stoppage years. So, if you are a top ufa, you’re going to get paid serious money for ages 26-31. So, why should a player sell himself for less.
I’m sure tkachuk would entertain 8 years if the numbers were there but unlikely they are in that range.
makes some risk for both sides if the player stalls but it tends to work for the team long term most of the time it happens.
