Seth Jarvis has secured a massive eight-year deal with the Carolina Hurricanes, setting a benchmark that Lucas Raymond of the Detroit Red Wings may be eyeing for his next contract.
The Carolina Hurricanes have secured Seth Jarvis on an eight-year contract, averaging $7.9 million per season.. This deal follows a strong season where Jarvis tallied 33 goals and 67 points, numbers that are eerily close to those of Detroit Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond, who currently remains unsigned. Raymond's season ended with 31 goals and 71 points, making him a comparable player to Jarvis and potentially next in line for a similar lucrative deal.
TSN reports that Seth Jarvis will receive approximately $30 million in signing bonuses as part of this new contract.
Both Seth Jarvis and Lucas Raymond are 22 years old. Jarvis has scored 64 goals in 234 NHL games, while Raymond has notched 71 goals in 238 games.
This signing creates a ripple of uncertainty in Detroit, where Lucas Raymond's contract situation appears to be at a standstill. With no substantial movement toward an extension, the question arises: could Raymond be the next target for an offer sheet? We've already seen offer sheets aimed at the Edmonton Oilers' Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg over the past few weeks. As Raymond's contract talks drag on, the possibility of an offer sheet grows more likely.
According to TSN,
This signing comes with some uncertainty surrounding what the Red Wings are doing with Lucas Raymond, as there hasn't been much indication that a deal is close.
The situation leaves many wondering if Detroit will act quickly to avoid any surprises. With Jarvis setting the bar, Raymond might push for a similar commitment from the Red Wings or entertain other offers if negotiations don't progress soon.
Stay tuned to this developing story as the NHL offseason continues to unfold.
