Ha ha. He can get a lot more than that, he's young and has a contract that will only keep looking better as the next 5 years goes on. If you're looking for a more accurate description of his value:



I like that very much. Maybe the 3rd is conditional, it transfers only is Spurgeon re-signs. Wild also give up a conditional 3rd with the same condition, so if Spurgeon leaves the Leafs keep their 3rd and get one from the Wild and if he stays the Wild get their own and the Leafs' pick.



But not now. He just had a down year, his value atm is low. The contract is going to look even better as time goes on, maybe if another first round exit happens trading him is a real possibility. Now, I'm keeping him and watching him put up a big year.

Most extensions just don't happen. It's far too complicated to try to ink a upcoming UFA...especially in short period of time. Looks how long it it has takes teams to signs their own RFAs this summer....months of talks and still no signatures. Gotta think Spurgeon takes his time and wants the UFA experience/options. Though as we have seen with Gardiner...when the UFA money dries up, there can be players without a team. Leafs have cap room next summer with some departing Dman. Spurgeon might be better Leaf option than Muzzin.

It just as likely could happen. Look at Berrie he's already stated that he would sign for 8×8, it all depends on the player and team. But the takeaway here is no extension likely no trade, or we would at least need to get conditional pick coming back and make ours conditional. These RFAs are trying to create as much leverage as possible while hoping and waiting for one to sign to set the market, nothing like signing a UFA.
