$5mill + per year is wayyyyyy too much for Bobby Ryan this early in the game.
I would have to disagree with that based on comparable contracts/players.
- Kessel @ 5.4M for 5 years
- Toews @ 6.3M for 5 years
- Kane @ 6.3M for 5 years
- Vanek @ 7.14M for 6 years
- Stastny @ 6.6M for 5 years
- Kopitar @ 6.8M for 7 years
- Carter @ 5M for 3 years
- Pavelski @ 4M for 4 years
- Getzlaf @ 5.325M for 5 years
- Perry @ 5.325M for 5 years
I believe most, if not all these guys signed their aforementioned deals coming off their entry level contracts (just like Ryan). Ryan has scored 31 and 35 goals respectively his first 2 full seasons in the NHL. His namely certainly belongs right in the mix with all those guys I just mentioned.
He's most certainly in line with what he's worth based on comparables.
