    Default 2019 Free Agent Salary Predictions

    Hey all,

    I don't normally post my articles on the forums, but I figured this one was worth some discussion. Finally have some numbers that I'm happy sharing from my contract prediction model. You can find that linked through the article below.

    Would love to have some feedback and discussion on the predictions. Any thoughts you have, let's hear 'em!

    Pretty cool. Too bad you couldn't figure out goalies too. Im curious what your little predictor thingy would say Binnington will get.

    Thanks for sharing.

    A couple that jump out at me for being too low/too high.

    Too much:

    Derick Pouliot
    Anthony Duclair
    Adrian Kempe
    Tony Deangelo
    Will Butcher
    Anders Lee

    Will make more than predicted:

    Brandon Tanev
    Brett Connolly
    Sam Bennett
    Cody Ceci (I cant wait to see how much Ottawa over pays him)
    Tyler Myers
    Jordan Eberle


    Those are my opinions but I could very well be wrong. As you say in your column, it's pure speculation based on numbers. Still a very good read.

    Agree with the goalie point. It could be the next step, looking into how to figure out a pattern for goalie contracts. Maybe in the fall/winter when I have some more time on my hands.

    As for the high/lows, I can't really argue with your thoughts. It does intrigue me that our opinions on what a player should get can deviate so far from what some of the numbers say an approximate market value would be. I think it would be an extremely interesting experience to be able to be a fly on the wall in salary arbitration hearings.

    The Binnington case is very curious, and I may actually dig into that for next week's article now that I'm thinking about it...

    I can only imagine. Then again I would not be a fan of having to turn my team upside down because of something that's completely out of my control. It's not my fault GMs are handing out $10M+ contracts like candy.

    I can't wait to add up the contracts of all my keepers after Panarin, Bobrovsky, Rantanen, and Boeser all get their raises. I'd be the Yankees of my league for sure.

    The ones that actually hurt the most are the guys like Hayes and Lindell that get a lot more than expected.
