Vladimir Tarasenko #1 - Denied

[MightyDucks]

2019/2020: 1.73 fppg (10 GP) - Tier 1
2018/2019: 1.71 fppg (76 GP) - Tier 1
2017/2018: 1.62 fppg (80 GP) - Tier 1
2016/2017: 1.67 fppg (82 GP) - Tier 1

Tarasenko has been great but was hit with injury last year. Averaging 1.6 over his qualifying year so around 6.5. Still think he has decent upside too so. Don't want to get stuck long term but I have more trust with his health over Benn so I'll offer...

3 years @ 7M

Have to throw this year out given 10GP played. I'd approve this for 2 or fewer, for 3, I'm not sure I agree with him being a salary range lower. Mr. "Hard Ass Over 250K" will strike again here (sorry), want to see 7.25M for 3. Denied 0-1.

should be 7.25 but that money will be needed to buy out jones

250k too low , mostly due to that it's the absolute bottom of his most recent season salary range and not really open for interpretation

I was very on the fence about this. If you take his average over the previous three years, not including this season, his average is 1.67, which would put him right in the 7M range. But, I found it hard to argue that he is getting worse, and that he was unable to get any better. For two years, this is an easy yes, but looking for a touch more to get that extra season, where he will still only be 31.
