Peterka is good, but I don't see him getting 8 mill with the price tag other players have signed for. He isn't going to get more than Thompson.

When Buff needs the cap the move is going to be getting Skinner's contract moved so how or even bought out.

Not everyone is gonna get max extensions right away.

Why is everyone getting max extensions? Obviously some of those guys will be on cheaper bridge deals

1- you’re massively overthinking this

2- Quinn likely doesn’t get that much

3- Peterka DEFINITELY doesn’t get that much

4- Levi is a big question mark still. No way to even guess what his next contract will be, not atm anyways

I think what I was going for here was the worst-case situation, I definitely think they give Peterka, Levi, and Krebs bridge deals. Quinn, they might lock up long-term but he would have to come back and finish the year at a ppg pace, OR if we make the playoffs lead the team in scoring in the playoffs.

I think they will lock up Benson long-term like power if he continues at his current pace of development, probably something like Boldy for number. Tuch will want 8+ for 8 years I imagine, especially in the cap jumps. Savoie and Kulich could probably get one lower-cost deal, somewhere between 1-2.5m for 1-3 years.

Like i said before, you’re overthinking this- & worrying for no reason
If/when it gets to the point where we are paying guys so much that we have to make tough choices- then that’ll actually be a good thing- bc we’ll have so many guys playing at a high level that we’ll be one of the best teams in the league

We have an exciting young team
Stop worrying & enjoy the ride

I'm not worried, I more was just analyzing the way we are growing and was trying to think about the future in that way. Wondering which players are going to become expendable and who we can move for the most needed position imo, which is the RD position. I am thinking because of how quick Bensons growth has been and his ceiling, Savoie, Kulich, or Ostlund will end up being the major pieces that become used to grow the team.

This is the point of ACGMs, not to be realistic or exactly follow what is going to happen but this is to project the future and have fun with it.
