NYR reject.

Why? Is Fast worth much more?

I doubt bear takes that. Bear seems like the real deal and he wouldn’t want that

IDK, there's an argument to be made on both ends. He's barely played NHL games, at season's end he'd be at exactly 100 games assuming he doesn't get injured/scratched. 3M per for the next 6-8 years doesn't sound so bad. Again, argument to be made on both ends.

OTT would most likely pass and JGP will make around the 5-6M per range.

5-6M sounds too much for a guy who's never hit the 45 pt mark. Jeeze, but I guess it does make sense for Ottawa to overpay him for a couple years during the rebuild.

charlie coyle got 5.25m per an d is in the same ballpark in terms of play and points as Pageau

Charlie Coyle at 0.5 PPG vs. Pageau at 0.41 - they are the same age yet Pageau has played over 100 more games, durability matters as well. Doesn't play with as much physicality as Coyle either. He's a touch below Coyle and should be in the 4 - 5M range.

what if the cap is not 83.5 Million. I do not think we will know the cap until summer 2020.
