The Utah Mammoth need to follow the Montreal Canadiens path with extending top players
The Sheet with Jeff Marek: David Pagnotta talking with Jeff Marek about how the Utah Mammoth could look to follow the Montreal Canadiens salary structure when extending Logan Cooley and other core pieces.
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Pagnotta: “You recognize, Utah has checked out what the Montreal Canadiens, I believe a number of teams have, quite frankly, which are what the Canadians have done with a few of their top guys. And never necessarily from a limit perspective, but everyone’s going to take a smidge less, because we’re going to do that together, and we’re going to maintain this unit together for an prolonged time period.
So like you realize, it began with Nick Suzuki, but obviously, there’s other talent on the market, if it climbs over that figure, so be it. Noah Dodson is available in, prime example, 9.5 (million), making considerably more, but he took less as well. Lane Hutson taking less with a view to stick around.
And on the, within the grand scheme of things, 150, 250 grand you’re saving per yr on an AAV, but you get 10 guys doing that, that’s an honest amount of cap space to utilize moving forward.
NHL Rumors: No Urgency for Logan Cooley to Sign an Extension
I believe Utah, in some manner, desires to form of mimic that in their very own form, and have certain guys which are going to be at the highest. And if the bar is about with a man like Logan Cooley, whom they anticipate being their primary weapon, and definitely him and his camp consider that he, he’s going to be considered one of their top guys consistently for years on end. How does that look, numbers-wise? And at the identical time, do we’ve to make that form of commitment now versus 4 or five years from now?”
