My 2 cents are this. McDavid signs a 3 year deferred contract at the max of $19.1 M. Deferred structure is almost exact blueprint that Vatrano did for his contract with the Ducks. It is half deferred each year spread out over 10 years for each year starting the deferred payment in 2035.
So if McDavid does the roughly same. would be $2,985,000 paid each year starting in or around 2035. That gets the cap hit to roughly $15,450,000 per year for those 3 years. I think he is waiting on two things to sign....first he is waiting to get the extensions done for certain players...(Podkolzon, Ekholm & Walman) Second he is waiting to see how this team looks early in the year. I would guess roughly until US Thanksgiving. If he sees a solid start he will resign.
Take a look at PuckPedia and the deferred contract of Frank Vatrano. It is the blueprint to maximize the contract value, which keeps the NHLPA happy, Keep the cap # low and put some dollars down the road when he is retired.
This is the last season you can sign a deferred contract. There is no minimum/maximum for a deferred contract. The only stipulation is that when you start the deferred payment you have to make it continuous each year after.

Welp with Kaprizov coming in at 17M. I guess McDavid does deserve 19, however it needs to be done. Would be nice if this deferral method can work for him.
|
My guess is he is waiting to get close to the Oct 7th Deferred contract deadline for two reasons. First he doesn't want other players taking advantage of this type of contract because they then can get a better cap # and compete with Oilers on the open market for future UFA/Trade players....Second he wants to see the overall development of the team through a full training camp to get a really good sense/feel for this season and the next 2-3 years after.
In my mind this would be smart on his part and he makes all areas of Family for life covered, Feeling of he is paid the most in NHL cuz he is the best palyer, cap AAV, Oilers, NHLPA, etc work for everyone. Just makes total sense to me. I guess we will see if that makes sense to him?
|
That deferred salary has zero implications for the next deal he would sign in 4 years too? He just gets to enjoy a double salary for all the extra time I guess? Like someone on a buyout.
Guess we will know within a week if this is the plan!
