He will fight
It's not his job to fight, it's his job to create goals.
You act like he gets scummed and he just won't do anything about it. - Stripes77
With all the physical plays he came out on the short end of in the NHL, you’re pulling out a Juniors game in which he landed 2 punches?
C’mon man! You are better than that.
When Marchand lickers his push face, he will turtle and look for someone to do something...
That is lol at best
scheifele, trouba and ehlers too. Role players as well like Lowry. - Sabresfan-365
Trouba is looking to and likely going to get paid.
Scheifele signed his deal 2 years ago, right before he broke out with his 30 goal, 50 assist season. He had essentially a 30-30 season before that, when he was 23.
I wonder what contract he would have received if the scenario was the same but it was now and not two years ago. I bet he would have expected $7M per, and received it.

Eventually all your star players get paid, that's the whole point. to try and win while your cap window is open. The Scheifele contract is part of the building process. Betting big on guys before they've peaked. MacKinnon is a good example, so is Karlsson.
Good GMs bet correctly more often than not. Bad GMs trade for guys one year from UFA status and pay them whatever they want, in bonuses and agree to sign their career-AHLer brother as well.
Why?
When it is said, the response is
“ you lost me at (insert reporters name here)”
Check the last month archives..it is rampant here.
EVERYONE knows more than those embedded with the team, and on the team. - IonSabres
What?
There are only oblique references to people. Never is it ""A" did "B" for "C"". It's "I heard "A" was fired/resigned because "B" said "A" poop talked them, but I know "A" and he would never would never say anything like that..." It's never anyone's fault that something goes wrong. Ownership is being unreasonable, but not really because they never actually say that.

I wonder how concerned the Avalanche were with that deal after last season, when he had basically Sam Reinhart point totals 2 years in a row?
Based on what you said in your first paragraph, the clock is ticking on the Jets big time, as it's either this year or next based on Laine and Wheeler.

You do know he wins a ton of battles in the corner right?
He just isn't physical about it, he's smart, a stick lift is far more effective than a body check in almost every battle in the corners.
I will say this he gets knocked down a lot.
I would be willing to bet push comes to shove he would drop his gloves. Find me one instance where that has even come close to happening.

Wheeler, in the 14th 'season' since his draft, had his best year.
The Jets bet on him correctly, but what do they do after next year when he is a UFA?
If he has another season similar to or the same as this one, he's going to be looking for a ton, and he'll be turning 33 before the season begins. - kingcong39
He had 69 points the first year his contract kicked in
Coming off a 41 point in 48 game season and 64 points in the season prior.
There was no betting there. He was a 60 point player at minimum for the last 7 years.
$5.6 million for 60 points? Sign me up all day everyday.
On top of that he very rarely misses a game.
Blake Wheeler was the most underrated player in the league for the longest time.
I have wanted him in Buffalo for the last 6 years.
As far as his next contract, well he is going to be 32 next season so 33 when his next contract will begin.

If he has another 90 point season, he's only getting $7.5M per? - kingcong39
If he has another 90 point season no but I don't see that happening and he will be turning 33. He is getting a lot of assists from Laine here. He has never scored 30 goals in a season in his career though.
