I don't think that's too bad money wise for a guy who is a little older than Risto and better defensively.

I agree with Brawndo that the fit with Vigneault might not be great, but otherwise yea, it's basically market value. In a market where Evander Kane is a $7M player, Skinner is a $9M player, it makes sense to me that a 2C slots in at around $7M.

At least the second 2 are overpaid. But such is often the case with UFA deals, I suppose.

50m for 7 years for Hayes?

Wow, just wow.

Right? Feel like I'm the only one that thinks that's a pretty big overpayment. He's cracked 50+ points twice in his 6 year career, and a brief glance shows his possession numbers aren't exactly Bergeron level. I don't get the love for this guy

Player salaries getting out of control shortly before another contract?  Can you say strike/ lockout??

Glad we’re not paying it, but I’m not surprised by this.

There is about $300 million in cap space out there to spend; supply and demand means the top guys are going to get overpaid.

Good content on the Hayes signing.

I agree with those who are saying, in essence, "the money is a function of the position he will (be expected to) occupy on a team's roster."

Maybe as much as anything, this reflects the extent to which an NHL team wants/needs a 2C to be on a cost-controlled contract.

Muh-muh-muh-Mittlestadt?

surprise wow GIF

This signing definitely hurts the FA market prices for teams. 7.14 X 7 yrs is what Bobby Mack is reporting now. That is...……………………………..wow, just wow, for Hayes?

This is the point in time where O'Reilly's contract  becomes a bargain.
