Harley and the Dallas Stars agree to a deal just about at projection. A fair #MaxTerm deal, yet most long term deals for stars his age are going to age very well for the team in this cap climate. #NHL #TexasHockey

🚨 A new #MaxTermPod is now live! We discuss contract structuring. How prevalent are No Trade clauses ? Signing bonus ? #MaxTerm? Do more teams give them more than others? Does doing so help them win? #NHL

FWIW, here is our Edvinsson extension projection from May. In general, the way the market has shifted, his value is potentially higher than the projected $8.4M AAV. That said, as @prashanthiyer.bsky.social mentioned below, some recent deals could help DET keeps him below $9M AAV. #NHL #LGRW

Think this is a team-friendly comp for the Wings when working on the extension for Simon Edvinsson. Having Hughes come in at 9.42%, LaCombe at 8.65%, and Hutson at 8.51% may help the Wings keep Edvinsson between 8.4%-8.6% ($8.74 million - $8.94 million)

It seems that @jamesfinch.bsky.social & @kylestich.bsky.social will continue predicting Connor Hellebuyck to win the Vezina each season until he stops winning the Vezina each season. For more predictions, listen to the most recent @maxtermpod.bsky.social #NHL #GoJetsGo

With a seemingly improved team, @jamesfinch.bsky.social and @kylestich.bsky.social both think Rasmus Dahlin has it in him to lead the Buffalo Sabres to the playoffs & secure his first Norris Trophy this season. For more predictions, listen to the most recent @maxtermpod.bsky.social! #NHL #Sabrehood
