Sujet: Winnipeg Jets signed Patrik Laine (2 Years / $6,750,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>alkaline</b></div><div>If he doesn't produce 1 solid campaign to merit his 2-yr deal, then he won't get his 9-11M AAV on the next deal... he'll stay in the 5-8M AAV window to round out his career. He wouldn't be the first star to fade away after a few disappointing years [if he doesn't produce].

Thus, his current $ and his prospects for future $$ is Laine's #1 motivator to produce. He's not the all-around kinda hockey player (defense, offense, cup-winning, on-/off-ice captaincy sorta thing)...... yet.</div></div>

This is absolute carbage. He's always been your mvp type of player who wants to win more than anything. Him not being an all around player has nothing to do with his motivation.

Sujet: Tampa Bay Lightning signed Brayden Point (3 Years / $6,750,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Great contract! Thought point would put up more of a fight but then again why would you?

In most cases money is the most important thing but it gets real hard to think too much about money when you have great weather, low taxes, a team of guys all willing to take less to be competitive and an all star talented team that makes everyone look better as a result.

Its pretty much the same in the "real" world. If I had a job I loved going to where I had fun almost everyday and life there was generally pretty good all round, I wouldn't be thinking about money as much.</div></div>

In other words Leafs' stars are demanding more because they hate it there? ;)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ray204</b></div><div>do you think the jets can get Connor on a deal similarly to Timo Meier with an escalating salary (Meier making 10M in his final year so his QO is high)? i honestly don't know what a Laine bridge looks like, seems like most people have him in the 6.5-7M range. What is the comparable bridge contract for a player with similar statistics to Laine?</div></div>

I don't know about Connor other than the guy deserves to get paid and that Chevy would do wise to lock him for long term. He's their future Blake Wheeler :)

Had Laine scored the expected 40+ goals and 70 points we wouldn't be talking about anything less than 10+ million and multi year contract. They know he's worth the money when he's producing, but is he going to produce (i mean is his back issues going to end his career prematurely), that is the question. That's why bridge deal is likely. 8 million is minimum because the guy is a 110 goal scorer through his elc. People seem to forget that too easily. Laine doesn't have comparables other than Matthews i think.
