Mr. Huberdeau has been a steady and solid contributor as a fantasy scorer for quite some time. This last season he did take it to another level. This is why I do want to sign him to a longer term contract because of his age but I will sign him at the average over the past 3 years.

I’d like to offer

4 years @ 6 Mil

So... It's your first go so totally understandable that you may have got mixed up with the rules which can be a head scratcher.

When we re-sign a player the most important number is the most recent season.

His 1.80 FP/G season puts him in the 8-8.75 range. He has had lower tiers in the past so you can bring him down a range, but he is also showing steady preogression which cancels that out. Based on his weighted average his offer would look something like 2 years @ 8 mil.

He also falls into the bridge deal, which is 2 years max usually. So with the new flexability you would have to offer him a bit more money for a longer term.

So give it another go, if you had said 2 x 8 mil I would approve it in a second. If you're worried about the high cap it for more than 1 year than I would advise you to do a 1 yr deal if you don't have many free agents next off season and see if he drops off a bit and get a better deal next year.

0-1

Denied 0-2.

Agree with Colin here as well. May have some wiggle room on a 1-2 year deal. On a 4 year deal, I'd want to see the upper echelon of the 1.8 range (8.75).
