f***ing beautiful

Holy shit. Why would he ever do that? This is insane.

Defensive defensemen don't get paid as much. The ceiling is lower. Hammer made $5M at his highest paid.

Cap percentage.

 

[bwanajamba]

Connor Murphy money for a guy who is already better than Murphy ever was in a much better cap environment for players. Insane deal

 

[TLEH]

Beauty contract

 

[Dead Meat]

Building something special for sure...

 

[Kevin Musto]

Holy f*** that's a steal

Absolute masterclass by KD

 

[ChiHawks10]

Absolutely beautiful contract by KD. I mean... f*** yeah.

 

[Rick C137]

What a deal. I was thinking long term would be over 6. That’s a steal.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Holy shit. Why would he ever do that? This is insane.

27 million is nothing to sneeze at. Excellent deal for both sides.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Lesson of the day: draft more Illinois kids. The hometown discount is real.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Cap percentage.

Hjalmarssons 5mil was 6.29% of the cap
Vlasics will be 5.25%

Seems reasonable.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Guy came out of nowhere too. Was a middling prospect that over the summer became a big part of the rebuild. Very happy.

 

[Idionym]

27 million is nothing to sneeze at. Excellent deal for both sides.

He left like ~10m-12m on the table, which is nothing to sneeze at either. Fantastic deal for the Hawks, baffling deal for Vlasic imo.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

27 million is nothing to sneeze at. Excellent deal for both sides.

exactly these guys are human with real risk aversion, he was living in rockford not too long ago on a very average salary, this deal is generational wealth and its beneficial for the team if he continues to play well, win win situation

Three years from now that percentage is gonna look very different and that's rfa years compared to UFA years. Hammer also signed a hell of a deal for Chicago.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Yeah, but 6 years from now he'll get a deal similar to Hammers 6+% I bet. So if its like 95mil he'll get 6mil+.

 

[TLEH]

Was an extremely important signing for KD. The first long term deal he has signed, and he knocked it out of the park.

 

[MTU34]

Over the moon with that contract. Buying 2 ufa years at 4.6 million is incredible

 

[ChiHawks10]

Yeah, but 6 years from now he'll get a deal similar to Hammers 6+% I bet. So if its like 95mil he'll get 6mil+.

Yeah, this was my thought too. He'll only be 28 at the end of this contract. He probably signs another one worth 8-10m after this one.

I could see that if he finds his offensive game. But if he is still mainly a defensive Dman, its probably closer to 6 or 7.

Check your PMs btw. Not sure if you saw it yet or not.
