The Utah Mammoth get McBain signed two years over projection and with that, an increased AAV. That’s expected when buying more UFA years. Good 3C is locked in long term. #NHL Max Term Podcast CapWages

.AFP Analytics says three years, $4,094,562.50 AAV. .EvolvingWild says three years, $4,056,000 AAV. I defer to projections. But I don't think that's a terrible deal for a player with his production.

A new Max Term Podcast episode is live! We recap trades that have happened so far around the draft and free agency. We talks fits, value, and more. Available wherever you get your podcasts! #NHL linktr.ee/afpanalytics

Mackie Samoskevich signs a one year deal for the minimum with FLA. Very good deal for the team but Samoskevich had no leverage as a 10.2(c) RFA. No possibility of an offer sheet because of that. Expect him to recoup some value next year when he will be offer sheet eligible.

We’re going two parts for our free agency recap. Trades first. Contracts signed coming next week.

Matt Dumba has been moved to the Pittsburgh Penguins roster on the NHL media site. As of now no trade officially announced

The Colorado Avalanche have signed defenseman Josh Manson to a contract extension. This is a pretty fair deal for a solid right shot defenseman. #NHL #GoAvsGo Max Term Podcast CapWages

Jeff Skinner finds 1x$3M with the San Jose Sharks. Solid deal for him and it works for the team as a low risk addition of cap space (they need it). #NHL #TheFutureIsTeal Max Term Podcast CapWages

General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the #Canucks have acquired F Chase Stillman and a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for G Artūrs Šilovs. DETAILS | nhl.com/canucks/news/c…

The Winnipeg Jets and Morgan Barron have agreed to a 2yr deal with a reasonable AAV. Solid fourth liner who provides good defense and physical play. #NHL #GoJetsGo Max Term Podcast CapWages

🚨ICYMI: A new Max Term Podcast episode went live late last week where we discussed trades that happened around the draft and free agency. Available wherever you get your podcasts! #NHL linktr.ee/afpanalytics

Bo Byram and the Buffalo Sabres have avoided arbitration. Byram gets a 2yr deal, so AAV is higher than our 1yr projection. These are his final RFA years, meaning this will walk him right to UFA. #NHL #Sabrehood Max Term Podcast CapWages
