Make it 5 years and it's a good deal.

Its confirmed 7 already

Sort of surprising, paying him that money when he's 36 and 37...

Not really, hes slowly become an elite Dman, and his game is one that projects to age really well

He also would have gotten more in free agency. Someone would have given him $8.5x7.

Brodie and Barrie must be salivating lol

Eh, it's not ideal but as a Wild fan I'm not worried about it. Jared is very rarely put in situations where he gets hit so unless he has a really bad injury I'm not worried about him aging poorly. He's arguably the best player on the team and has quietly been one of the best defenseman in the league so at $7.6M that's not bad at all.

7.575*

I had him at 7×8

Brodie isnt even that good, but barrie will get paid, probably around the same maybe more because he hits the UFA market

I had him in Fantasy for most of last year as a free agent pick up. Definitely not one of the best defenseman in the league. He is underrated for sure. Dumba is quite a bit ahead of him, just had injury problems last year.

I just rounded up, haha

Because you're judging him off of fantasy...

Compare Brodies stats with Spurgeons and explain why they aren't similar calibre players man. They basically have identical Corsica ratings

Fr your opinion shouldn't even be taken seriously

"While Spurgeon may still be one of the NHL’s most underrated defensemen, you don’t have to dig deep to figure out just how important he is to the Wild.

When it comes to WAR (wins above replacement), a metric that aims to estimate how many wins a team gets from a player compared to a replacement-level player, Spurgeon’s 11.3 is tied for sixth among all NHL defensemen and 24th among all NHL skaters since 2014-15, according to Evolving Hockey.

The only blue liners ahead of him? Victor Hedman, John Klingberg, Mark Giordano, Erik Karlsson and Ryan McDonagh.

Of the 139 defensemen with 4,000 or more 5-on-5 minutes since 2014-15, Spurgeon is tied for 20th at 0.94 points per hour, according to Corsica Hockey. His goals per hour of 0.3 is tied for 15th. His power-play goals per hour of 1.22 ranks 12th.

According to Corsica, his expected goals-for percentage at 5-on-5 of 56.9 is first in the NHL since 2014-15 with Suter on his tail at 56.1. His actual goals-for percentage at 5-on-5 of 52.9 percent since 2014-15 ranks 35th.

His individual giveaways per hour at 5-on-5 of 0.8 since 2014-15 rank dead last among 139 defensemen. That’s a crazy stat when one considers how much Spurgeon plays with the puck and drives possession up the ice.

Since 2011-12, Spurgeon ranks 35th in the entire NHL in minutes logged (12,412:07). No NHLer has played more during that stretch and amassed fewer penalty minutes (94) than Spurgeon. He has taken 27 5-on-5 penalties taken since 2014-15."

Because brodie gets carried by gio, and thats something the eye test can even show you

How many votes did he get for the Norris? He's not the best defensemen in the league.

Wait this fits my biased mcdonagh agenda? LETS GOOOOO
And holy **** is that PIM number elite af

Barrie has already publicly said that he wants 8×8

He cant because only the leafs can give it to him and they cant

Yeah when you dig into his advanced stats, it's honestly insane how little recognition he gets.

So his GF at 5 on 5 is projected as first, but in reality ranks 35th? What

If u need an advanced stat plug follow Micah Blake McCurdy on twitter, lowkey fire charts

See my previous comment. I never said he was the best, I said he's one of the best
