Personally, I like this number for him. This was my guess back months ago. I think everyone forgets how young and inexperienced he really is. He has shown flashes of some really high end play, and if he grows into that and becomes more consistent, he could actually end up being a really important piece for CHI. If he just kind of levels off and maybe improves defensively a bit, he should be a nice trade chip or even a long term bottom 6 option. Not really much to worry about here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JK74</b></div><div>Thankfully it's only 2 years so if he improves it'll be nice but he's only shown flashes and flashes don't earn you $2.25M.

His QO won't hurt. The most it could be is like $3.5M, depending on how they structure his salary. If his salary is straight up $2.25 both years, his QO will only be $2.25. If they front load it, his QO will be less than his new AAV. There isn't much to worry about with him, he either pans out or he doesn't.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JK74</b></div><div>I would have walked away at anything north of $2M. I like him but not at that price.</div></div>

The walk away number was around $4.5M. So, CHI had to pay him, their only choice was one or two years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Panic76</b></div><div>I really hope we don't rush Korchinski. Give the man another year, we don't want a Boqvist 2.0.</div></div>

100% agreed. Seems like EVERYONE is anticipating Korchinski making the NHL roster this year. Not knocking you personally <a href="/users/wadejos123" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@wadejos123</a>, but it seems like everyone is looking at his point totals and thinking that means he is ready. When, if you watched a lot of him this past season in Seattle, he obviously has a lot to work on defensively, and CHI has zero need to rush him. Even team Canada sheltered him. Going back won't hurt him and we can't send him to the AHL. So, just don't force it, IMO.

I guess we will let him determine that in camp. If it looks like he can protect himself well enough against men and be defensively responsible, then by all means, let him play. But, I doubt that will be the case. We don't need a Barrie, or a Klingberg, or a Karlsson, or another Boqvist, as you said. What we need is a Makar, or a Hughes, or a Fox, or a Theodore, or a Hamilton, or a McAvoy. And if that means being patient, then we need to be patient.
