Joel Eriksson Ek - $3,000,000 (2024) - COL

[scoresberg9]

2020/21 - 1.08 FP/G tier 3
2019/20 - 0.82 FP/G depth 
2018/19 - 0.65 FP/G depth 
2017/18 - 0.56 FP/G depth 

The Colorado Avalanche would like to propose a 3 year 3 Mil per year Contract. Given his progression since 2017 I think this contract is fair as it values him as a tier 2 player when he has yet to finish a season above tier 3.

I'd accept 2 years at 3 mil or maybe a shade lower, but for 3 years it would have to be something like 3.5 per year

[Patrick - NYR]

a) Has the player had 2+ full seasons (30GP+) where he was in a higher production tier?
i. If yes, salary offered MUST be one range higher
ii. If no, proceed to the next condition
b) Has the player had 2+ full seasons in the past where he was in a lower production tier?
i. If yes, salary range MAY be one step lower
ii. If no, proceed to the next condition
c) Do you wish to (if allowed) to offer your player a long-term contract (3-4 years) - If only eligible for 1/2 year contract, read part ii of this step
i. If yes, continue to the next condition
ii. If no, the player is to be offered a contract within the salary range from the previous step. Please note, the specific amount within the range is not based on his most recent seasons’ production (110 fpts=5M and 129 fpts=6M), but instead weighed based on his past production and 4-year weighted average. For example, if Player A produced 120 fpts, but in previous seasons went 140, 130 and 160, he would garner the max of the 130-149 range since past production has always been higher
d) Does the player demonstrate a clear upward trend in production?
i. If yes, make an offer one salary range above the suggested salary range
ii. If no, make an offer within the salary range for the most recent season.

According to this rubric, the offer is advised to be within the 1.00-1.09 range. This offer is a salary range above it and gives term.

I apologize Colin but I’m gonna have to agree with Patrick more, do I feel like in the end this contract will be a little under paid? Yeah probably but it might take the full 3 years for it to reach that mark and I’m okay with one year of a good deal.

[Arizona GM - Jeremy]

I think this is going to be a really good contract, but the offer seems fair based on the rubric, so I'll push this through
