Even with that long a term, the first number should not be a 7. Sure - it's possible that he plays well enough to turn this into a bargain, but it doesn't change the reality that on paper it's too high given where the market appears to be at present.

Keller just got essentially this same deal. I know which I would rather have.

Really? I don't get this. Hischier is already widely acknowledged to be an excellent two-way centerman despite still being only 20 years old- that rare blend of scoring skill coupled with defensive awareness and coverage. I think 7.25 is going to turn out to be a bargain, especially the way the cap and salaries are going. If I was a Devils fan, I'd be pretty happy about this. But perhaps I'm missing something.

I think it is on the high side for sure but maybe he will grow to earn it. Also think this is part of the Devils showing Taylor Hall a commitment to winning long-term.

Re: [Signing] Hischier and Devils 7 yr/$7.25 mil AAV deal
Eh, it's fine. A recent first overall draft pick with upside wasn't going to sign long-term for under $7M per, and it's very likely to be a bargain before too long.
Re: [Signing] Hischier and Devils 7 yr/$7.25 mil AAV deal
I'll echo those sentiments. It's not like players are going to give a discount to play in the swamp.

Read what I said again - I specifically said it could turn out to be a bargain. That doesn't make the price any more reasonable "on paper".

Re: [Signing] Hischier and Devils 7 yr/$7.25 mil AAV deal
why not go 8 years
Re: [Signing] Hischier and Devils 7 yr/$7.25 mil AAV deal
Probably wanted more than they were willing to give
Re: Hischier and Devils closing in on 7 yr/$7.25 mil AAV deal
I’m not sure what comparables you’re looking at here but it’s absolutely reasonable right now.
Re: Hischier and Devils closing in on 7 yr/$7.25 mil AAV deal
Who? And if its keller as Im assuming do you mean for fantasy or irl as the kids like to text?
Re: [Signing] Hischier and Devils 7 yr/$7.25 mil AAV deal
In fantasy it’s close. IRL Hischier is miles better.
