Matt Moulson signs with NY Islanders for one year, $2.45 million

Another comparable player to Patric Hornqvist signs for one year at $2.45 million with New York. We talked about the implications of the Mason Raymond deal yesterday, and this provides another benchmark. I'm guessing that if the Preds want 2 or 3 years in Hornqvist's next contract, it will probably cost $2.5 million or more per season.

Moulson was the one guy I picked out that is truly comparable to Hornqvist. Signing him should be done fairly quickly now. This is about the rate that most of us expected for Hornqvist.

I agree with the price, but I definitely want to see more than a 1 year deal for Hornqvist.

Absolutely

If they do a two year deal does Hornqvist remain an RFA? Do you go longer and maybe the new CBA raises the minimum age to become a UFA? Do you make him prove he’s more than a one year wonder? I think he is, but who knows.

Now that Moulson is set, the price should be easy. It’s the terms that need to be hashed out.
