What to pay laine?

You have to go short term with Laine. 3 Years at 6-7 mill. No way he gets Matthews money...I'll eat my shorts if Winnipeg is that stupid.
This is about right, should matthews even have gotten Mathews money? Plus all of their better players signed for significantly less which doesn't help. Why would anyone ever not sign for the max to play in peg?
Matthews is looking like a point a game player, 50 of those points should be goals at least, although they may have to get rid of Babcock to do that?
Matthews got slightly more than he should, but this is the market for it.
Laine should be less.
Dependent on length of contract, the longer the term, the higher the a.a.v. of the deal.
If true those would have to be two of the more pedestrian linemates a that a winger ha s ever maintained +35 goal pace with..
What I always think is a telling stat for a goal scorer is how many even strength goals they score. Laine had a great first year, 36 goals only 9 on the power play. The last two years half his goals come on the PP. Look at Jonny Tavares...35 goals this year, only 6 on the PP.
Yes, but when it comes to Laine's contract, it's worth comparing their stats.
#29 - GP 217 - G 108 - PTS 174 - +/- this season -23
#34 - GP 192 - G 104 - PTS 190 - +/- this season 1
I'm with the, he's not getting Matthews money crowd.
I know this is a Laine thread but so was/is Matthews. He's a goal scoring beast 5 on 5. Up until this year he wasn't even on the number 1 PP. It was Bozak, JVR, Kadri, Marner, Rielly/Gardner
