Summer NHL Trades/Transactions

The #MapleLeafs Mitch Marner 6 year $10.893M Cap Hit:

-Yr 1: $700K Base, $15.3M SB
-Yr 2: $700K & $14.3M SB
-Yr 3: $750K & $9.608M SB
-Yr 4: $750K & $7.25M SB
-Yr 5: $750K & $7.25M SB
-Yr 6: $750K, $7.25M SB
 
I expect a lot of the RFAs to get settled now. This was the benchmark for all negotiations.

I am a bit concerned about the percentage of cap that is eaten up by a handful of players. I am not saying the player doesn't deserve that money, but having so many high $$ contracts, it makes getting players at good value harder, and making a strong run at the cup.

A couple years back I had hoped that Nylander, Matthews and Marner's contracts were going to have some good value to them, which would give the team some cap flexibility to acquire players for playoff runs.

Reilly took a bit of a discount when he re-signed. And in a few years, he will need to be paid or else he's gone. Doesn't help when he did that and all the other players didn't.

Right now, there is barely enough money to sign one of the pending UFA dmen.

And Andersen's contract is up at the end of next year.
 
Wild, Spurgeon agree to 7-year, $53M extension

The Minnesota Wild signed defenseman Jared Spurgeon to a seven-year extension with a $7.575-million average annual value, the team announced Saturday.

Spurgeon was set to hit unrestricted free agency after the 2019-20 season. The 29-year-old set career highs in goals (14), assists (29), and points (43) last year.

The new deal will make him the 11th-highest-paid defenseman in the league in 2020-21, just ahead of teammate Ryan Suter.

The 5-foot-9, 167-pound Spurgeon may not have the conventional look of an elite shutdown defender, but that's exactly what he is. Among blue-liners who logged at least 500 minutes at five-on-five last year, Spurgeon allowed the 15th-fewest expected goals and the 11th-fewest high-danger scoring chances per 60 minutes, according to Natural Stat Trick. And they aren't soft minutes - Spurgeon matches up against opponents' top lines.

The extension marks new general manager Bill Guerin's first major splash with the Wild.

The Leafs really need to do some damage in the next 2-3 years, for sure. Morgan Rielly is going nowhere when his contract is due. Freddie, on the other hand is a likely a wait, and see, I'm guessing? With Sandin, and Liljegren in the system, and ready to compete for a spot, the Leafs can easily fill two defenseman spots right there on an entry level salary, plus they have arguably the best two goalie prospects in the world in Woll, and Scott. If one, or both of them can step in in a couple years, then they would likely part ways with Andersen to UFA, is my guess?

If those four I mentioned are able to play up to their expectations, then that will help the Leafs incredibly in a couple years from now. We also can assume for now when the new TV deal is signed, the cap will go up tremendously, another help if that happens. They also have some really decent forwards on the farm that can compete for a roster spot, again at entry level pay. I do however think their window is 3 years to get it done, but we'll see?

This is my guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if they moved Tavares in 3-4 years if they need the cap space, but that will be difficult to do, IMO. I'm not worried about anything beyond this year. We'll worry about that when the time comes, lol.

I do however think they will only be able to sign either Muzzin, or Barrie next year. Both seems to be a stretch unless, the cap goes way up, or they move out someone like Kappy, or Andreas, for example.

I don’t watch a tonne of Wild but this seems really high!!! Especially at his age.
 
Bruins sign McAvoy to 3-year bridge deal with $4.9M AAV

The Boston Bruins have re-signed restricted free-agent defenseman Charlie McAvoy to a three-year contract with an average annual value of $4.9 million, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

McAvoy's new contract comes in just a hair shy of Zach Werenski's three-year, $15-million deal that the Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman signed Monday.

McAvoy tallied 28 points in 54 games last season while serving as half of Boston's shutdown pairing alongside veteran captain Zdeno Chara.

The Bruins now have $3.2 million left in projected cap space to sign their last RFA, defenseman Brandon Carlo, according to CapFriendly. Boston could create additional cap space by assigning players to the minors.

Great deal for the Bruins.
 
Canucks sign Boeser to 3-year, $17.63M deal

The Vancouver Canucks have signed restricted free-agent forward Brock Boeser to a three-year deal with an average annual value of $5.875 million, the team announced Monday.

Boeser is now signed with the Canucks through the 2021-22 campaign and will remain a restricted free agent when his deal expires.

"We're very pleased to have Brock re-sign," general manager Jim Benning said. "He's a talented player, a key contributor to our offense, and an important part of our team's future. We look forward to having Brock join the team in preparation for the upcoming season."

Boeser recorded 29- and 26-goal seasons in his first two full campaigns with the Canucks. He finished third in team scoring with 56 points in 69 contests in 2018-19.
 
Flyers, Konecny agree to 6-year, $33M contract

The Philadelphia Flyers have agreed to terms with restricted free-agent forward Travis Konecny on a six-year contract with an average annual value of $5.5 million, the team announced Monday.

Philadelphia has secured two of its core players within the past week. It also signed defenseman Ivan Provorov to a six-year contract with an AAV of $6.75 million on Thursday.

Konecny is the 10th RFA to hatch a deal since Sept. 9, but 10 players, including Mikko Rantanen, Matthew Tkachuk, Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor, and Brock Boeser, still remain unsigned.

New Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault was critical of Konecny's contract holdout.

"I'm very disappointed that T.K. is not here," Vigneault said Friday, according to NBC's Jordan Hall. "It's the start of a new era, a new group, I felt that it was very important for everybody to be here.
 
Senators lock up Chabot with 8-year, $64M

The Ottawa Senators have signed defenseman Thomas Chabot to an eight-year contract extension with an average annual value of $8 million, the team announced Thursday.


"Thomas is an exceptional talent and an outstanding teammate who is impactful both on and off the ice," general manager Pierre Dorion said. "He is the type of player that can develop into a core member of a championship-level team in the National Hockey League.

"He is an NHL All-Star; an elite skater and puck-mover who plays with pace and determination."

Chabot has one year remaining on his entry-level contract and was set to become a restricted free agent next summer. The 22-year-old will have the highest average annual value on the team when his new deal kicks in next season.

Blues acquire Faulk from Hurricanes, sign him to 7-year extension

The St. Louis Blues have acquired defenseman Justin Faulk from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for rearguard Joel Edmundson, forward prospect Dominik Bokk, and a seventh-round pick at the 2021 NHL Draft, the Blues announced Tuesday.

St. Louis also acquired a fifth-round pick in 2020 in the deal.

The Blues signed Faulk, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, to a seven-year, $45.5-million extension after the trade.

Faulk was reportedly involved in a potential trade with the Anaheim Ducks earlier in September, but the sides couldn't come to an agreement on a contract extension.

The 27-year-old is a valuable right-shot defenseman with plenty of offensive upside. He's hit the 30-point mark in six straight seasons and ranks seventh among all blue-liners with 67 goals since the start of 2014-15.
