Rickard Rakell - $4,500,000 (2024) - NYR

[Patrick - NYR]

First ever re-sign let’s do dis.

Rickard Rakell

2019/2020: 1.26 / 1.27 FPPG (65 GP) - Tier 2
2018/2019: 1.26 / 1.24 FPPG (69 GP) - Tier 2
2017/2018: 1.66 / 1.64 FPPG (77 GP) - Tier 1
2016/2017: 1.40 / 1.37 FPPG (71 GP) - Tier 2

Rakell has not been as productive over the last two seasons as he was between 2016-2018. He can potentially rebound, but I think this is far from certain. Still - at 27 years of age, I think he is a valuable to asset to hold long term.

NYR would like to offer a contract within the range immediately higher than his last season’s production range.

$4.5M x 4

(Also, when filing remember that my team name changed from BOS to NYR at transfer of ownership.)

*edit: typo

*edit 2: Boldface as locked C method of showing stats. Doesn't change anything.

Looks good to me! Approved!

2-0, perfect contract by the rules.

2-1

sorry gotta deny on this one. I would be looking for a 2 year deal on him as year 3-4 posted above are quite a significant bump on current year.
