Salary cap hasnt really moved in over 4 years. I dont think this ever looks cheap, but as long as he stays healthy, it's still a great use of resources.Exhale! He is signed long-term. May seem cheap in 3-5 years, too.
LFG, let's make a dynasty.
Hes going to want to cash in again before hes 30. Hes 25, so unless the team is going to sign him to a 10 year contract - which I'm fine with - I think you see 3/4 years at 10.5 - 11.Love it. Need to have a number 1 D and he could have gotten more on the open market. So what’s Pasta going to get?
Why?This is one of those deals that will look like a bargain in 3 years.
Because defenseman of his caliber are going to getting $11 million AAV by then.Why?
8 years is the maximum contract length allowed in the CBA when re-signing a player.Hes going to want to cash in again before hes 30. Hes 25, so unless the team is going to sign him to a 10 year contract - which I'm fine with - I think you see 3/4 years at 10.5 - 11.
Ah, didnt know that. I just remember some of the monster length contracts from a handful of years ago, didnt know that changed.8 years is the maximum contract length allowed in the CBA when re-signing a player.
Ok. But why?Because defenseman of his caliber are going to getting $11 million AAV by then.
ESPN/Turner tv deaOk. But why?
The cap hasnt changed in four years. Why would the prices for these players go up if the cap isnt going to really move?
exactly- the annual revenue from the new Disney / Turner deal is 2x what NBC was payingESPN/Turner tv dea
I mean I swear there was some global thing that screwed up the economy for the last 2 seasons…. What was it again?Ok. But why?
The cap hasnt changed in four years. Why would the prices for these players go up if the cap isnt going to really move?
Can you think of anything over the past two years that might have affected league revenues and the cap?Ok. But why?

Sure. But not the last four.Can you think of anything over the past two years that might have affected league revenues and the cap?
The new TV deal will lead to an increase in the cap, and the price of elite talent always goes up. It’s the mid level contract guys that get phased out in favor of kids on ELCs when the cap doesn’t increase.Sure. But not the last four.
Right, this makes sense. Wasnt aware of the new TV deal. Thanks, man.The new TV deal will lead to an increase in the cap, and the price of elite talent always goes up. It’s the mid level contract guys that get phased out in favor of kids on ELCs when the cap doesn’t increase.
As usual - you've beaten me the punch with a better version of the point I wanted to make. McAvoy has been one of the best D at generating offense 5v5 in the league for at least 2 years.He's not really adding offense or doing things he hasn't done before. He's always been elite offensively. The difference is this year they gave him the keys to PP1. Prior to this year, he'd get scraps on the PP with the 2nd unit. He has 6 power play points this year, he had 8 all of last year. He's averaging an extra minute per game in PP TOI than he has in past years.
This. He’s always been capable offensively. Now he’ll add PP points and up his already strong Norris Trophy resume.He's not really adding offense or doing things he hasn't done before.
