Not sure what his current stake is, but yeah, he’s still a minority owner. Makes sense for Fenway sports to keep him around as a public face of ownership.

Am I the only one confused why young NHL players are still signing deals like this for their best years?

I dunno. I’m never confused by a young player deciding to play it safe and secure the bag, rather than gambling that they’ll be able to ultimately get more in the long run by “betting on themselves”.
As long as he manages his financial affairs somewhat competently, he’s now set for life at age 22, no matter what happens with his health, career & future performance.
Seems pretty awesome to me. Not everyone is a gambler or a financial risk-taker.

It juts seems to happen more in hockey than any other sport. With the cap going up after COVID, not sure these deals should be continuing

It’s the Willy deal (8.7%) but for 8 years instead of 6.
Walks him to 30 which is pretty dumb on his part.

Players are smart to do this , secure your bag and there is more money at 30 if your still good
WTF are you risking injury or poor play trying to make maybe an extra 10-15% if all goes well after a bridge deal
This isnt the NBA where your looking at 200 mil fortunes , take the fucken money and sleep at night
Nobody knows where the cap is going down the road if another pandemic hits

Other athletes do. NHL players have to start being more cutthroat

I mean all our guys didn’t want 8 year deals coming off ELC.
Jarvis is not AM and never will be
AM secured his bag plus gets a reported 3-5 mil in yearly endorsements
League revenues are nowhere near other sports and probably never will
The super elite can play the short term AAV deal and hope to cash in a few more times
Seth would of got about 5ish on a bridge deal then hope he doesnt get hurt and the cap goes up
Many players got fucked during the covid years of frozen budgets and escrow and didnt cash in .

maybe his agent expects the Swiss Franc will be the new Bitcoin?

5 years ago with a cap $7m below the current cap, tkachuk coming off of a similar season to Jarvis’s 23-24 got $7m.

Ya I mean Matthews did the opposite of what you’re saying securing the bag means. He’s gotten paid more money on short term deals AND gets tons more in endorsements.
What are you even arguing?

I got playing in safe during COVID, but not sure why so many still do it. I thought Faber signing 8 years was idiotic.
