He's looking to get a contract like Aho did with the Canes.

Aim higher.  More like Matthews/Marner money.  If he scores 50 within the next 2 seasons and plays a solid 200 foot game as a power forward at 21 or 22 years old, he should be looking at Ovechkin type money in terms of % of cap when he signed his previous deal.  That was 16.8%, which would translate to about $13.5 million.   I expect he will be well north of $10m, likely North of $12m on his next deal if he lives up to his potential.  He's off to a good start.

And I congratulate him on his start and hope he continues to play at this level both offensively and defensively regardless of what line he is one. As I said if he continues to do this I am wrong and have no problem admitting it. Let’s see what happens for the rest of the season and talk about it in April May or June . In the meantime good luck to the jets!

Just starting that 5 year contract though

I would say he's capable of centering one of the best checking lines in the league.

Unless he’s put back on the 2nd line.

Anyone playing with Mark and Blake is gonna score like Larry Hopkins.

Right now.. Laine is this teams best player.. Mark and Blake are scoring because of him. Mark and Blake are good together but would be great apart. 

Laine Scheif Connor/Ehlers

Connor/Ehlers Little Wheeler 

Copp Lowry non plug grinder with ability to pop 15 goals.
