Wow the free agent market is going to be crazy. Soderberg just got nearly 5 million per year.@reporterchris: That's big money for Carl Soderberg. $23.75-million over five years from #avs. It's good to be a free agent.

I don't love the deal, but I'd rather have that deal than Krejci's.
at 5v5 last 2 years: Krejci: 1.85 p/60, 51.85 CF%, 102.9 PDO, $7.25m hit
Carl: 1.81 p/60, 52.37 CF%, 101.8 PDO, $4.75m hit
Krejci is 6 months younger. Though I think playing with Eriksson helped Carl a lot.
Let's not mince words, taking the last two years for Krejci is just cherry-picking. He played slightly more than half a season last year due to the hip injury in the first half and the leg injury in the second half. His career average CF% is 53.3 and his career points/60 mins is about .4 points higher than Soderberg's. The comparison also ignores quality of competition and zone starts. Krejci is also much better on faceoffs.j44thor said:
In fairness to Krejci he wasn't himself last year after the injury. I also agree Loui was really the catalyst to that line. Really hoping this means the Loui-Bergy-Marchand line comes to fruition. They just seem like the perfect shut down combination who are also all going to chip in 20-25 goals.

Eh in the other Soderberg thread I posted a 1 and 3 year cut of the same numbers and they weren't that much friendlier to Krejci. Also guys start to decline around age 26-28, so Krejci's early numbers probably mean less and less. It's a bad contract. But he's the core!TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle said:Let's not mince words, taking the last two years for Krejci is just cherry-picking.

Krejci's deal might not be a good one anymore if the leg injuries permanently affect his game, but that remains to be seen and I wouldn't use last year's stats to make the pronouncement.
