Confirmed Signing with Link: [WPG] Jets re-sign Mark Scheifele - (8 years, $6.125M AAV)

[Cellee]

Soooooo happy.

He is going to be really good really soon.

 

[Canucks LB]

They better hope he is as good as they think he is. Seems like a lot of money

 

[Cellee]

Holy hell, they better hope he is as good as he was last year, and not a flash in the pan.

People who actually watch the team are not worried.

 

[NoShowWilly]

that is big boy money but if he is giving them 30/30 then good deal.

Not worried. He has consistently gotten better every year since his draft. Even if he plateaus from now on, it's still good value for what he brings.

 

[Episkey]

Damn, Winnipeg. Good deal.

 

[Iceman]

mucho grande

 

[Red]

Solid deal covering all his prime years.

 

[Flair Hay]

All we have left is Trouba and I would bet they are talking tomorrow. Beautiful.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Steal wow

 

[Playmaker09]

Well there goes my hopes of getting Galchenyuk signed for under 6.

 

[Cellee]

Not worried. He has consistently gotten better every year since his draft. Even if he plateaus from now on, it's still good value for what he brings.

Yup. He is worth 6/year right now.

 

[KingBogo]

Outstanding. As a Jets fan super pumped locking up Scheif for 8 years.

Every 8 year deal comes with risk, especially for young players that haven't consistently proven to be top end talent, but this is the type of risk teams like Winnipeg need to make. Scheifele is emerging as a very good player. If he continues at his current level of play the deal will work out. If he takes another step the deal will be a steal.

 

[ediger]

something about the guy makes you feel like he's a safe player to bet on. I don't think there's many players his age that study the game like he does and take all the off ice stuff as seriously as he does. Looks like he'll be a regular 30/30 guy and if he plays with Laine, that could end up being 30/45 pretty easily, one would think.

 

[McOvechking]

Yeah, lot of years. Lot of money. Gonna be a great deal though.

 

[Jayevs]

Good number for a big guy who plays the game the right way.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Looks too much now but probably will look a steal in a couple of years

Nice to see a measured, logical take in a sea of steals and overpayments.

The contract makes a ton of sense for both Scheifele and the Jets the day it was signed. That's all you can ask.

good deal winny

I don't think you could find a Jets fan who doesn't believe Scheifele is a top end talent. The Jets board is like a bunch of school girls at a boy band concert.

 

[Satastic]

That's a lot of money

For someone who deserves it

 

[iBELEAF]

awful lol

 

[antiqueslivers]

jets management is doing good business
