Martin Necas, who would’ve been a UFA this coming offseason, signs a #MaxTerm extension with the Colorado Avalanche. He’s off to a great start this year, which surely helped in negotiations! #NHL #GoAvsGo
October 30, 2025 at 5:07 PM
Logan Cooley & the Utah Mammoth have agreed to an extension. A little above projected AAV, but makes sense with an extra UFA year bought. He’s the first of the star ELC RFA centers to sign, setting the market! #NHL #TusksUp
October 29, 2025 at 2:10 PM
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

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
October 13, 2025 at 3:11 PM
We are not really sure how the Lane Hutson camp could justify agreeing to a #MaxTerm deal at this AAV. Very good value deal for the Montreal Canadiens, especially after Hughes got $9M from NJD. #NHL #GoHabsGo

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
October 9, 2025 at 11:50 PM
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
October 9, 2025 at 11:01 PM
Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews has been one of the best shooters in the #NHL in recent years. Can @jamesfinch.bsky.social's Rocket Richard pick open the season with a goal? For more predictions, listen to the most recent @maxtermpod.bsky.social! #LeafsForever
October 8, 2025 at 10:55 PM
Eichel and the Vegas Golden Knights have agreed on an extension! A slight discount in comparison to the projected AAV. Elite C locked in long term! #NHL #VegasBorn
October 8, 2025 at 8:18 PM
99th percentile in penalty differential helped Kopitar win the Lady Byng Trophy. @jamesfinch.bsky.social & @kylestich.bsky.social think Kopitar repeats that performance to win the Lady Byng again in his last season. For more predictions, listen to the recent @maxtermpod.bsky.social! #NHL #GoKingsGo
October 8, 2025 at 5:30 PM
Ekholm & the Oilers have agreed to a deal! AAV helps Edmonton allocate $’s elsewhere, while Ekholm gets a similar total value and an extra year (security late in career) compared to projection. #NHL #LetsGoOilers
October 8, 2025 at 2:10 PM
Kyle Connor and the #WPGJets agree to a massive 8 year, $96M contract. This is as we expected on our projection. Good work to get this done ahead of the season and remove any drama around the expiring contract. #NHL
October 8, 2025 at 1:34 PM
The Kings & Adrian Kempe have yet to find a deal. Initially, team wasn't quite at $9M with the Kempe camp asking for a bit higher. Now, Kaprizov gets $17M. Market reset. Will this deal get done? Watch out for potential Connor, Necas, Tuch deals for AAV/term clarity. #NHL #GoKingsGo
October 8, 2025 at 2:25 AM
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar has been a top 3 d-man in the #NHL for a half decade. Can the soon to be 27 year old go back to back and capture his THIRD Norris Trophy this season? #GoAvsGo
October 8, 2025 at 2:15 AM
The confidence that @kylestich.bsky.social has in McDavid having a historic season is so high that he has him winning the Art Ross, Hart, AND Rocket Richard trophies. Do you think McDavid can take all three? For more predictions, listen to the most recent @maxtermpod.bsky.social! #NHL #LetsGoOilers
October 8, 2025 at 1:45 AM
Igor Shesterkin is considered one of the better goalies in the #NHL. But did the New York Rangers make the necessary moves in front of him to return to the playoffs this season? #NYR @maxtermpod.bsky.social
October 8, 2025 at 12:00 AM
With Sasha Barkov (3X Selke Trophy winner) out for the most of the season, @jamesfinch.bsky.social & @kylestich.bsky.social chose Sam Reinhart as their Selke favorite. Other candidates? Listen to the most recent @MaxTermPod for more predictions and details! #NHL #TimeToHunt linktr.ee/afpanalytics
October 7, 2025 at 9:45 PM
Chicago Blackhawks goalie Spencer Knight starts against his former team. Extension (3x$5.83M) in hand, can he solidify that he is indeed the franchise goaltender before it even kicks in? #Blackhawks #NHL
October 7, 2025 at 9:26 PM
WOW! Minnesota Wild fans, @jamesfinch.bsky.social is making a bold prediction that a Stanley Cup run is in your future (along with a big trade addition mid season👀)! Listen to the most recent @maxtermpod.bsky.social for more predictions and details! #NHL #MNWild linktr.ee/afpanalytics
October 7, 2025 at 8:50 PM
Our own @kylestich.bsky.social is rolling the dice on the Vegas Golden Knights winning their 2nd Stanley Cup! Listen to the most recent @maxtermpod.bsky.social for more predictions and details! #NHL #VegasBorn linktr.ee/afpanalytics
October 7, 2025 at 8:49 PM
Connor McDavid comes in at a shorter term and lower AAV than projected. He will cash in again soon, leading to lower AAV. But below Draisaitl!? Leaves Oilers space for other moves! #NHL #LetsGoOilers
October 6, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Jake Walman gets 7x7 from the Oilers, an increase in term and AAV over projected. Top4 d-man locked in long term. Solid deal for both siders, increased AAV makes since with the increased term. #NHL #LetsGoOilers
October 6, 2025 at 4:43 PM
Filip Gustavsson & the Minnesota Wild have agreed to an extension. Term & AAV a touch below projected, but this is a fair deal. Only thing we’d say is after the Demko extension, possible this projection would’ve went up mid year… #NHL #MNWild
October 4, 2025 at 2:04 PM
Luke Evangelista finally gets his contract done with #Smashville. Absolutely no reason for negotiations to have dragged out for this long with it coming in just a touch above projection. #NHL
