Robin Brownlee was advocating a low-value bridge deal yesterday. These guys never ever learn.
Guaranteed if we do another 1-2 year deal, Puljujarvi will have a massive season just before the next contract where he has an unsustainable shooting percentage, and the Oilers will overpay massively and live to regret the contract.
|
I'd sign him longer term if I could. But if I'm Jesse, I'm not signing long term for what will be the likely number. I fully expect him to produce a lot more than he has this year. 1PPG over a season is not out of the question, especially if he stays on McDavid's wing. He was exactly 1PPG a month in (14GP), and I think he looks better now than the start of the year.

Always a chance a player takes that approach, but if you offered him, say 6 years at $4.5MM per, that's a pretty decent amount. He's significantly richer and it's guaranteed. If the alternative is a couple years at $2.5 and then hope to hit it out of the park...well, that's a risk. You could get hurt, you could have other players come in and challenge for your spot, you could get traded to a crappy team...
Where we've made some long-term bets on young players, it's generally been a really good decision. Klefbom was a bargain contract very quickly. Draisaitl, even with the overpay that summer based on comparables, is now a bargain deal.
I struggle with giving 30-year olds long deals, but a guy in his early 20s? I think it's worth the risk, and certainly, if you wait until he's almost UFA and usually coming off a massive year? That's when we are forced to pay through the nose (like with Nurse) or cut bait.
