Around $5M AAV says Bobby Mac.
Great deal for both sides given his current production. Great contract year for him. I expect 40 points/year average from here on.
But Tavares likes playing with him, so hopefully that helps JT stick around as well. Some fans think JT is just being a good PA guy and making it look like he's going to wait to shop for a higher deal, but that he & Snow already have a handshake deal. Others think he's waiting to see how high the cap goes so the max deal is higher.
