EYEBALLING THE BARGAIN BIN

This is typically the wave of free agency where we start to see some traction in offer sheets. GMs are hesitant to throw away good valuable picks on RFAs who are often in their late 20s using contracts that need to be punishing enough to make the current owners sweat them. Locking yourself in to NMCs and high dollar contracts can cripple a team, especially in a league with only a handful franchises with the financial ability to absorb a bad deal. Buying your way out of one of these contracts can end up costing you even more down the line (a recent example being the Robby Fabbri situation).

GMs are also savvy enough to recognize a players’ value and do their best to sign them to market-value deals. Trying to cheap out on contracts to players is a great way to send the message to your team that you are a penny-pinching cheapskate who doesn’t respect them and leads to poor morale and your franchise to seem less desirable to other free agents. Rarely do we see a case where a mid-20s franchise altering superstar remains unsigned past the first few RFA waves of the season. It’s just irresponsible asset management on the part of the General Manager.

With the associated cost now reduced to a single 1st round pick for a reasonable market-value contract, we can expect to see a handful of teams sniffing around the Offer Sheet option towards some very talented players who for some reason still remain available on the open market.

Some players who will certainly be worth monitoring leading up to the Thursday 7pm deadline are listed below. Will we see some offer sheets flying? Only time, and the Players Association can tell.

Tasty Tenders

  • Boston’s Jake Oettinger 25 Years Old, 79 Overall
  • Carolina’s Thatcher Demko 28 Years Old 80 Overall
  • Hamilton’s Jusse Saros 29 Years Old 79 Overall
  • New Jersey’s Andrei Vasilevskiy 29 Years Old 80 Overall
  • Philadelphia’s Jeremy Swayman 25 Years Old 79 Overall
  • Toronto’s Vitek Vanecek 28 Years Old 79 Overall

Some amazing quality between the pipes available here. A team like the Nordiques, completely bereft of anything resembling goaltending talent, or a team like Minnesota or St Louis could absolutely use a star caliber tender to set their franchises on the right course. For the cost on a single first round pick, a Demko or Vasilevskiy would be franchise altering for some club.

Minister Of Defence

  • California’s Darnell Nurse 29 Years Old. 78 Overall
  • Los Angeles’ Will Butcher 29 Years Old 77 Overall
  • New Jersey’s Brett Lernout 28 Years Old 77 Overall
  • New York Rangers’ Nikita Zadorov 29 Years Old 82 Overall
  • Philadelphia’s Olli Maatta 29 Years Old, 79 Overall
  • Pittsburgh’s Josh Morrissey 29 Years Old, 81 Overall
  • St. Louis’ Robert Hagg 29 Years Old 77 Overall
  • Las Vegas’ Mario Ferraro 25 Years Old, 76 Overall

Defense wins Championships. You;ve all heard it before and you will all hear it again. Teams that are looking a little lacking on the back end might want to take a gander at these rearguards. Think of the change a top pairing defender can make to your team’s goals against! I’d gladly pay a 1st round pick in compensation to land one of these stalwarts to anchor my blue line!

Flashy Forwards

  • Boston’s Elias Lindholm 29 Years Old 80 Overall
  • Carolina’s Martin Necas 25 Years Old 76 Overall
  • Columbus’ Valeri Nichushkin 29 Years Old 79 Overall
  • Edmonton’s Adam Gaudette 27 Years Old 77 Overall
  • Florida’s Andrew Copp 29 Years Old 77 Overall
  • New Jersey’s Mason Marchment 29 Years Old 76 Overall
  • Pittsburgh’s Jake Guentzel 29 Years Old 80 Overall

Who couldn’t use an elite top 6 forward option? For a 1st round pick? Hell most of these guys would go for triple that during the regular season. A single 1st rounder is an absolute steal! Young up and coming teams like Quebec or Las Vegas who are lacking on talent up front could absolutely use a young stud like Martin Necas or Adam Gaudette to build around for the next few seasons.

Will any of these players agree to sign an offer sheet? We have already seen a few this offseason on players who felt slighted by their own teams. I could absolutely see a couple more this round. Remember, the reason we have unlimited Offer Sheets now is so that teams can’t take advantage and cheap out, paying players WELL below market value like one sheisty GM tried to pull a few seasons ago. Fellow GMs, get out there and make sure Perlis these GMs aren't allowed to be cheap again and game the system!

Bridge & One-Way Values

On Friday the league released the official league average salary numbers based off of NSHL23 and a couple of new records have been set.

The league average salary for qualifying NSHL goaltenders hit a new low at $2,422,413.44, while qualifying MSHL goaltenders hit a new high at $1,291,501.74. This likely has to to with the volume of similarly skilled net-minders available which drives the NSHL market down.

As teams have ample selection at the pro level, the "excess" and/or over-priced goalies end up playing in the minors, many at 10% of their full salary but impacting the league average regardless. Teams intentionally overpaying goalies through free agency in hopes of clearing them through Opening Day Waivers (ODW) also contributes to the higher MSHL average.

League average salaries from the previous season are used to determine both the one-way and entry level bridge contract values for the following year.

An entry level "bridge" contract can be used by a team to sign a player coming off their entry level contract (ELC) before they turn 25, thus allowing them to avoid the RFA offer-sheet process. A bridge contract can be tendered to a qualifying player at the value below, expiring when the player turns 25.

Teams with players whose entry-level contracts have expired may now request to sign them to a bridge contract at the appropriate value below, with a term based on their age to coincide with ending when they are 25 (a player who is 23 now gets a 2-year, as an example).

Bridge contract offers can be submitted to the league e-mail.

  • Defencemen
  • Forwards
  • Goalies
  • Value
  • $3,825,000
  • $4,710,000
  • $3,630,000

A one-way contract guarantees a player 100% of their salary, regardless of where they play (NSHL or MSHL). A one-way kicks in after a skater plays their 20th pro game or when a goalie plays their 10th pro game in a season.

A player who is 35 or older is guaranteed a one-way contract at the time they sign regardless of how much they earn or how many games they play.

A player of any age receives a one-way contract and a contract no less than $1,000,000 if they are signed AFTER Wave 10 of free agency.

A player may also be guaranteed a one-way contract at the time they sign depending on their age compared to the league average salary at the time the contract is agreed to.
