💣 Can't imagine this is solely about the money for one of the best forwards in the league, even as he approaches 35. A new contract will not be cheap and there is a good chance our projection is low due to lack of comps.

👀

The @NHLBruins and Marat Khusnutdinov have agreed to a 3 year extension! The AAV of this deal is a bit above projection, but the extra year and a great start to the season helps increase the AAV. The most interesting thing to us? This will walk him to UFA in 2030. #NHL

For those 1yrs that just signed and are not included, they WILL have a projection update during our usual midseason release in January. We are also reviewing if we want to add anyone else right now, like we did with Robertson.

We excluded players that signed 1yr deals this past offseason from our update. Reason being, if they just signed for 1yr, that deal is likely their value. However, there are some one off situations where a projection is necessary now, like Jason Robertson. Here's the projection👇

Grubauer was solid last year. 10 round shootout win last night. Is he... back? Does another solid season raise his value more? Does Seattle want to keep him in a tandem with Daccord? #SeaKraken

We like to emphasize, our projections are what we think the market value is not necessarily what we would do!

Looks good👍🏻

It does not impact anything cap wise until next season (though the team has plenty of space anyways).

We've speculated a bit on DeBrincat's future on the @MaxTermPod. Bad vibes around the Detroit Red Wings this offseason between the Larkin and Edvinsson storylines. Getting DeBrincat signed long term is a much needed optics W to toss into the good vibes column.

In fact, we are projecting it!

Alex DeBrincat and the @DetroitRedWings have agreed to a #MaxTerm extension! 7 years, $13M AAV. The elite scoring winger cashes in at an AAV right about at our newly released projection, with one extra year on the term. Very fair in our eyes! #NHL
