Not a chance in heck that Laine signs that contract.Hard to fault this contract. But, curious if it would have been smarter to give to Laine and bridge Connor.

Laine's dream of playing on the top line lasted for, what, maybe 24 hours?
Good thing we have no idea what they were offering Laine long term.
My point is more, Connor has the better chance of falling off while Laine has the better chance of exploding.
Kyle Connor is going to have the best career of all current Jets players. Y’all heard it here first!
Yikes.
Connor is going to be one of best Best American players for the next decade.

Probable hot take:
The Jets extended the right and better player.
You don't give out contracts you negotiate them. Laine's camp pushed for a Bridge as they weren't willing to go long term after a down year that deflated the players value. Connor's camp wanted a long term deal, possibly due to the player coming off a season of ideal usage put him in a good position for a longer term.Hard to fault this contract.

Gaudreau and Tkachuk are the only better LWs. I think he'd be on the 3rd line.Yet would likely be on the 4th line on the National Team if he even makes it.

It's not the 90's anymore. There's a lot of American players that are legitimate stars now. Connor is a good first line player, but he's not in the same tier as the top guys. He probably makes the national team on the bottom 6, if at all.Yikes.

Uh. Debrincat and Guentzel?
Gaudreau doesn't make the team, see MSL
DeBrincat is a natural RW and Connor will be better than Guentzel going forward
so top six is within the top ten over the next decade... good work backing up my claim.It's not the 90's anymore. There's a lot of American players that are legitimate stars now.

How is a 21 year old 34 goal scorer not worth it now?
Hm. Connor is a great player. Laine is potentially the best goal scorer in the league moving forward.

Laine may have more goals than Kyle had points next season
no he's not.Hm. Connor is a great player. Laine is potentially the best goal scorer in the league moving forward.
He said he’ll be worth it in a few. You would never pay 7m+ to a 30-35year old 60pts scorer, so they are definitely paying for the potential and expect his totals to rise.

Pavelski just got 7m (x 3 years) coming off a 64 pt season (and 60ish pts the past 3 years) and he's 35
