#GoJetsGo lock in their captain. 5 years, $5M per year. The AAV is well above out projection from May but with the rising cap and extra years, it isn't surprising. This is very close to the going market rate for reliable 3Cs, which Lowry certainly is. #NHL

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

Solid deal for Marcus Pettersson and the Canucks. The top 4 Dman gets an extra year over projection, but that may have allowed Vancouver to keep the AAV down. In our eyes, this is fair for both sides. #Canucks #NHL

Brett Howden signed a 5 year, $2.5M AAV contract to stay with Vegas. We did not expect to see this type of term for Howden. AAV considering the length is fine but definitely an unexpected contract.

Vegas Golden Knights and Brayden McNabb, an original member of the team agree to a 3 year, $3.65M AAV contract. Very fair deal by both sides in this negotiation.
