Kyle Connor re-signs with Jets for 7 years x 7.14 million AAV.

Thoughts on the contract? Does this help clarify his trade value as contract is a factor?

Not saying he will be moved, just speculating value.

He’s worth whatever Timo Meire is worth.

@vbb, what’s Timo Meir worth then?

Sharks signed Timo for 4 years times $6M AAV. But with $10M salary the 4th and final year.
During talks Connors camp wanted a long term deal the whole time but it was noted they would discuss a deal like Timos, as long as salary was $10M on the final year as well. Lol. Now it doesn’t matter what his salary is because he’ll be a UFA when it’s done. That Timo deal is so bad. Just shows how good the Point deal is. At least he’s basically a $9M guy now (which is what his salary is the final year) .

Mier’s contract, like many at this time, are structured that way because of the possible lockout. Very heavy on signing bonuses in the years where there might be stoppage of pay. The big thing is that by having $10M last year, that virtually guarantees he is re-signed for north of $10M. He’s still RFA when it expires, and team has to issue a qualifying offer. From looks of it, I think he will be worth ten mill by then.

That’s the scary part of contracts like Meiers. You are basically hoping that he is worth a ten million dollar qualifying offer or that he is so bad that it’s not worth it to qualify him and he will be willing to take less. Because otherwise they hit unrestricted free agency early. Win-Win for both sides. Teams get the lower cap hit now but the players are going to get paid later on.

These RFA bridge deals have nothing to do with a lockout seeing how there’s not going to be one for at least another 3 years.
