This deal doesn't matter anyways, seeing how terrible our preseason is going we will tank this year!
I think deals like this are bad for hockey. Makes you wonder WTH the 2012-2013 NHL lockout was for if young guys with a resume at thin as Wood gets this juicy a contract. At this rate, there'll be a strike again in 2024-2025. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I look at it the opposite way. You know how baseball is likely going for some kind of work stoppage because of the issue of young players being forced to stay with their team until they’re past their prime? It’s the exact same thing at play here. It’s why Wood held out for so long and why Theodore is still holding out. But nobody’s talking about that in the next CBA talks, they’re talking about dumb legalese crap and the Olympics.
I'd love to see him incorporated into the PK at some point going forward. If he can get to that point defensively, he'd be an absolute nightmare for the pointmen
Or even 3. You need something to give a leg up to small market clubs in places like Columbus, Ohio, for example, competing to try to keep someone like Panarin. The situation where all the top guys want to play in a few attractive to them places, like Tampa, L.A., N.Y., Toronto, Chicago etc. is having a really negative impact on parity.It's exactly like baseball. Players, more likely agents, have been paying attention on July 1st.
Teams aren't paying for past performance at age 27-30 anymore. We're in for a lot of fun with the next CBA because this is a favorable situation for management (a player with insignificant body of work but trending up) where I can't really see a reasonable solution short of getting a player to UFA earlier. And that sucks for the hometown fans because Tavares/Parise situations will happen more and more.
Maybe the original club gets 2 extra years on any contract extension, as opposed to 1?
