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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
