Bob McKenzie of TSN reported the possible size and length that make up the looming extensions of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith.
“Kane and Toews are believed to be getting five-year extensions, with each of them worth in excess of $6 million per year. An announcement on those two deals appears to be imminent.
“Keith’s deal is said to be more complicated, perhaps as long as 13 years, and worth less than what the Hawks will pay their two star forwards, which is to suggest it will likely average less than $6 million per year. Because the NHL is so closely scrutinizing the ultra long-term contracts, it may take longer to dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s on the Keith extension.”
It shouldn’t surprise anyone if the organization opts to announce the new deals all at once. The salary numbers are a little high for my liking, but if those are them Stan Bowman will have a busy off-season clearing bloated salaries on the roster.
