This is a very good deal for Soderblom considering his inconsistent play over the past 2-3 seasons. He looked good at times this past year (still inconsistent), so best case scenario is 1B workload in tandem with Knight but could end up as a pure backup. #NHL #Blackhawks

#Sabres sign Conor Timmins to a 2 year, $2.2M extension. Very good work by the team as Timmins likely had a fairly strong arbitration case given he was acquired for a 2nd round pick. Timmins should be a major improvement for their 3rd pair and PK.

Struble, a solid bottom pair defenseman, has inked a new deal with the Montreal Canadiens. It’s pretty much a fair deal, but might be just a touch team friendly. #NHL #GoHabsGo Max Term Podcast CapWages

Our own Kyle Stich will be talking Oilers and contract extensions in about 10 minutes with Jason Gregor 👇 #NHL #LetsGoOilers

Dylan Samberg and the Winnipeg Jets have avoided arbitration. Looks as though the agents used that leverage well as his AAV comes in above projection at a lower term. He’ll look to follow up a breakout top4 season. #NHL #GoJetsGo Max Term Podcast CapWages

Martin Pospisil extends with #Flames on a 3 year, $2.5M AAV contract. This deal seems to favor the Flames. The AAV is fair for a solid bottom 6 center but getting 3 years with the rising cap is great work by the team.

Alex Laferriere re-signs with #LAK 3 years, $4.1M. This is very fair for a short-term contract. One extra year, slightly higher AAV. We'd question the logic of not using their cap space now to try to get a longer term deal done. Could be an issue for the next contract.

Marco Rossi re-signs with Minnesota. 3 years, $5M AAV, with a $6M QO after. We had projected slightly lower AAV on a 2 year deal. This makes sense and is fair value for 3 years. Overall, this deal favors the player side as Rossi will have maximum leverage when negotiating his

🚨ICYMI: Last Friday, a new Max Term Podcast went live where we wrapped up our contract projections by discussing misses and lessons learned, as well as recent news on McDavid and Bedard/Nazar. Available on all podcast platforms! #NHL linktr.ee/afpanalytics

Our $13.9M projection would be a touch higher than the $13M-$13.5M range that Frank Seravalli mentions for Golden Knights center Jack Eichel. That said, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Eichel come in a touch lower than projection in Las Vegas, Nevada… #VegasBorn #NHL

Our Kaprizov projection would be lower than what Frank Seravalli is expecting ($15M). What’s interesting is that potential $15M AAV would mean that Kaprizov beats the Panarin cap hit % for highest % at signing for a winger. Could have a record breaking deal here! #MNWild #NHL

Sounds like the Kings do very much want to get a deal done with Kempe. They started below $9M and his camp is at $10M. Possible a deal ends up slightly above our projection. We’d ultimately expect low-mid 9s. #GoKingsGo #NHL

Our own James Finch has been a believer of Stolarz going back to his ANA days. Seems a deal could pay him 1A type $’s. His camp will likely try to drop the Brossoit comp (reasonable) and focus in on that Jake Allen MTL deal to get in the $4.5M-$5M range. #LeafsForever #NHL
