Originally posted on Pro Hockey Rumors | By Brian La Rose | Last updated 1/9/21 The biggest restricted free agent is unsigned no longer, as the Islanders have agreed to terms on a three-year deal with center Mathew Barzal, reports David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period. Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed, but Newsday’s Andrew Gross adds that the AAV should be $7M, which ties him with Anders Lee as their highest-paid player. Darren Dreger adds that the breakdown of the deal is as follows: 2020-21: $4M ($3M salary, $1M signing bonus) 2021-22: $7M 2021-23: $10M Under the terms of the CBA extension, the qualifying offer required is the lower of the final-year salary or 120% of the AAV. In this case, 120% of the AAV is $8.4M, so that will represent his qualifier in the 2023 offseason.
