I've been looking at the contracts signed by NHL guys like Pastrnak, Ehlers, Matheson, Eichel, Severson, Horvat, Wennberg, Draisaitl, etc and to keep current with the NHL climate I think we should reduce the savings benefited from our extension.
Right now we get a 30% discount, and back when we came up with the idea that was spot on. Guys were taking 5 year deals for about 70-75% (look up what Couturier, Hamonic, McDonagh, Josh Bailey, Landeskog signed for back in the day) of what an equally producing veteran would make. Now they are signing for 6+ years and the % is about 85-95% of an equally producing veteran.
With larger batches of prospect extensions coming up in the next year or 2 that extra 15% we currently save is going to really throw off how comparable we are to the NHL.
I'd say we make prospect extensions at 85% of the listed extension value going forward.
