Def kick the can on this cat but whats the contract you would offer him? No way hes getting 16m/yr from me with his injury record. Plus 16 is like MCD money. Im a 100k a point person but willing to go a mil or 2 over.

The $100K per point is a good guideline, but was based on when the cap was flat at $80 million during the COVID years. Extrapolating for the current increase, it works out now to $110,000 per point last year, and $120,000 per point this year. So a 100 point player should clock in at $12 million per year. By 2027-28 and the projected cap increase to $113.5 million per team, it would be just over $140,000 per point, so last year’s $10 million/year player would warrant $14 million/year in the next 3 years.

Here's hoping the headings for the 2025/2026 NHL season 20 games in read 'What's wrong with the Knights, Panthers, Wild and Maple Leafs?'.

When’s the next lockout. Honestly. USA gonna go broke lol. 

[bustamente]

That’s a crazy contract for a team that probably doesn’t make the playoffs this year maybe not even next

[Stickem]

That contract is complete insanity....just give him the keys to the club and put his name down as an owner already....Where does it stop....AND don't forget the guys that buy the tix are going to end up paying for this guy....Just so much till the well runs dry and everyone is hooped

[Noeller]

It's a ridiculous contract for a guy like Kiprizov, certainly but also the cap is going up and don't forget that what these guys make is a fraction of what the owners make. I'm not as "ATHLETES ARE ALL GREEDY PIGS!!" as some people. Careers are short... Take the money if you can get it. 

Having said that, this really fucks with where the bar is for guys like KConn and McJesus... Kiprizov is absolutely not worth this money.
