Sam Reinhart a signé un contrat de 3 ans d'une valeur de 19 500 000 $ avec les Panthers de la Floride, le 11 août 2021. Le contrat comporte un cap hit de 6 500 000 $.
I think that this deal is good for both sides, given the context. Reinhart gets to keep his options open and gets to free agency earlier than most players; Florida gets value out of having traded for him. And there's nothing to suggest that he won't like it there in South Florida.
6.5 is a lot for a guy whose career high is 25 goals, but theyre getting his prime years so this could turn out okay for Florida...if it does, hes going to really get paid next deal.

Is it a lot for a guy who was 11th in the NHL in goals, scoring 25 goals in 56 games? Context matters.
This is a great contract for Florida - Zito continues to prove he’s one of the best GMs in the league. I think it’s perfect term for Reinhardt, he should provide 1st line value for the next 3 years but he’ll probably fall off after.
I'm going to be lazy and quote from my Pionk post. Make Reinhart the fourth:
Quoting: Me
Really interesting trend some players are taking this year with the flat cap. That's the third higher end player in a few days to take 5-6 mil in a late RFA contract but keep it at 3-4 years to be able to still get a big UFA deal.
It's quite the gamble as they perhaps could have gotten more term and if they decline or get injured they probably gave up a lot.
Flipside is if they continue their play (no improvement even needed) at 28-30 (Pionk will be the oldest of the three), they'll likely be able to get a large 5-6 year deal in a larger cap environment.
Looks like Florida is serious about retaining Barkov next year by surrounding him with same-age talent. While I think this contract is a little high /or/ too short, I really like what Zito is doing in Miami.

Guessing Nutivaara and Vatrano needs to go next season. They need to have 10ish available to re-sign Barkov.

its the 25 goals in 54 games that I think got him the 6.5, as that pushes him to a 30 goal guy. It averages out to 38.
I'd say that 6.5 is on par with what other guys who were peaking out at that rate got. I think they money is fine, I'd have expected the term to be more. It is what it is.
