Sam and his age when his next contract will end will be superior to RNH and when his next future contract will end. I’ll pay Reinhart in a max to hes 31 over RNH who will want a contract until he’s 36. That is a huge swing to Reinhart.

Nobody is getting a max contract for atleast 3 yrs in hockey. Geez Arizona just offered Hall a 5 yr 7.5mill a year contract, won't get it done, but unless you're a superstar, most FA aren't getting what they want.

I think most FA are gonna have a tough time getting what they want for a few years.

I don't think RNH is part of the most.

I don't buy that at all.

Why would the Coyotes offer a max 8 year deal as their first offering? That's not how negotiating works.

I was a little disappointed with the intensity. First period was "meh"

Usually the first round of the playoffs is terrific. Both teams look a little flat and there's just not a lot of energy

Why, he's not a superstar, he's a good hockey player and a FA at the worst time in hockey.

I’d rather the leafs have a 0% chance at Lafreniere instead of a 12.5%

No I would not expect there best offer at 1st, but I would expect it to be a little more serious. And with everything going on and only so many teams with the cap room to sign FA, it's going to be tougher for FA to get what they want.

69 points in 82 games last year, 61 points in 65 games this year. Plus he's a Center, and he's not a UFA until after next season is over.

Isn't a max deal defined as one with a combination of the highest and longest a contract can be offered for?
I seem to remember 20% of the Cap...so ~$16.2m for 8 years.

Anyone else feel like this game looks like preseason? Just no intensity

Yes, he is getting better, with better players around him, he was a 50 point player, before that. Like I said he's a good hockey player, he's not a superstar.

I'm confused.
If Buf heard 5 yrs at $7.5m for Hall, what is max about that offer? Neither dollar nor term are maxed.

Isn't Hall playing wing?
At least CF and Daily Faceoff reflect that.

Everything I have read project shorter, lower contracts over next 2 - 3 years, with players signing shorter deals to get better longer term deals once the Cap starts going back up.
However, they also say the elite may not be as badly impacted.
Is RNH elite? I think he's more like Reinhart...very good, not elite.
He is putting together his best season though at 0.95sh ppg.
Will be interesting.

No he was coming back on how I said that I would be surprised if any max contracts were handed out for the next 3 or so years, maybe a superstar. And I said Arizona 1st offer to Hall was the 5yr deal.

I've always thought "max deal" meant length of years?

Would think McDavid maxed out the deal without taking up 20% of the cap?

Maybe?
