So, at current standing, I wouldn’t exactly call the Nikolaj Ehlers contract a bargain. At seven years and $42MM, it stands with a nice, round cap hit of $6MM per for the Winnipeg Jets.
It sits around the range of contracts that players like Mark Scheifele, Aleksander Barkov and Nathan MacKinnon have signed. Those are superior players, and those contracts really fit the bill of bargains.
But guys like Jakub Voracek, Logan Couture and Jamie Benn are sitting around $8MM cap hits, and even Evander Kane is $7MM per.
