But then there's Zucker's 64 points(31g and 33a) that netted him 5.5m aav. Wilson's deal simply doesn't compute.

That?s a lot of money and term for a player who could hit 0.700 on the games suspended:goals ratio.
Like Zach Hyman out produced him playing his off-wing, albeit with the likes of Nylander and Matthews. Nazem Kadri is paid less and also outproduced Wilson?s best numbers during his worst season.

Agreed. I'm just curious where exactly they think Wilson will be?

Yeah, that's an interesting one. He was a first round pick of theirs so you'd suppose they think of him as someone with more offensive potential than he's shown but they took him in the 1st round after he had 27 points in 49 OHL games so who knows.
My guess is they put a very high value on his physical presence and think he can score to the extent that he's sort of a supercharged version of Zach Hyman or someone to that effect.
Every team should probably fire their GM immediately after winning a Cup.
I'm only half-kidding here.

I think everyone needs to realize players are always going to ask for MORE than they are actually worth. How often does an arbitrator (in the NHL) pick the player ask or the team ask. Its always somewhere in the middle. If he thinks he deserves 4.5, he's not going to ask for 4.5, he's going to ask for 6.
BTW, he's not worth 4.5 either.

I've always thought Stone was super-underrated but even I didn't realize he scored over a point per game last season (62 points in 58 games). And on that dumpster fire of a team! Impressive. A $9mil ask in arbitration might not have even been high enough.

Yeah, I think $9M is probably what he SHOULD get. The 5M ask from the team is pretty much an insult.

He looks like he might be alright, but his numbers so far are underwhelming - though, he's doing better than most guys who go undrafted.

I know that Karlsson has only had 1 good year and I genuinely don't know what he is worth but the fact that this is essentially identical to the Ceci offers is hilarious.
