Please hold off on this extension for Nico Hischier. We will reassess the situation and understand his extension cost can increase significantly however the opportunity to protect him with his Entry Level Contract status during the expansion draft next off season needs to be re-evaluated by our cap specialist. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Thanks to our assistant GM, we have identified several contracts to restructure. Blues will re-sign these players to new deals.ForwardsNico Hischier, $3.0m (2018-2021-EL). C 72/94 3.3m (2020-2023) +0.3
Ask for a ruling on the expansion draft and EL contract protection I think Nico is auto protected under that current deal which affords an additional safe spot for another He could also cost you a lot more by waiting You may have already considered this
Jason Demers, $2.8m (2018-2021). D 185/147 1.3m (2020-2022) -1.5* We noticed Colorado was able to offer a 3-year term for a higher contract value of $1.5m, if we can do that we will resign Demers for $1.5m (2020-2023).
Yep, you can always increase the value to get the extra year. Hell, you can go 4 years @ $5.5M AAV if you want to Just can't go lower than their value.
