Quoting: Masonh618
Well yeah but like, that’s not exactly the type of contract you want to give out in win-now mode in my opinion. A short term deal with even higher AAV than $7M would’ve been excellent for the Islanders, not this.
So he gets: 49m
7x 7m instead of
6x 8m or
5x 9.5m.
7x7m is the right deal!
The trigger fingers were predicting 6x9.5m and waiting to pounce lol. Piles are an aggressive, solid team and he fits. Remember, Barzal, window, NY taxes, instead of trading kids, hard to find free stars, especially a team like Piles. Why should they care about yr 6 or 7? In fact I hate it as a NYR, which answers the riddle
