TBay would like to extend Tobias Enstrom (WPG-D) to a 4 year (2016-2017) contract worth 3.95 million.
Enstrom salary last year was 3.75 mil.
Enstrom has great offensive skills with some upside but is a bit of an enigma. If not thriving offensively he brings little else to the table in terms of shut down/physical type dman stats.
He has been bitten by the injury bug often over the last few seasons (72 gp / 62 gp / 22 gp) and accordingly his production has declined (178 TF-pts / 121.1 TF-pts / 48.4 TF pts).
Enstrom still has upside, especially if paired with Byfuglin on the power play, hence the small raise which comes with player friendly 4 year term. But he will only reach potential if he can stay healthy.
Some comparable players, of a similar skill set, signed within the last year and their stats from the past year:
Enstrom - 2012 - Salary 3.75 mil / 22 gp / TF pts: 48.4 / FPG: 2.2
2011 - Salary 3.75 mil / 62 gp / TF pts: 121.1 / FPG: 1.95
Edler- Salary: 5.5 mil / 45 gp / TFpts: 97.85 / FPG: 2.17
Souray- Salary: 600K / 44 gp / TFpts: 99.4 / FPG: 2.26
Kronwall - Salary: 3.65 mil/ 48 gp / TFpts: 112 / FPG: 2.33
Carlson- Salary: 4.15 mil/ 48 gp / TFpts: 106.9/ FPG: 2.23
Timmonen - Salary: 850 k/ 45gp / TFpts: 115/ FPG: 2.56
Markov - Salary: 4 mil/ 48 gp / TFpts: 107.9/ FPG: 2.25.
Wiznewski - Salary: 2.75 mil/ 30 gp / TFpts: 62.95/ FPG: 2.1
It has been a few years since he had a carrer year, so 4 years at this value appears to be fair to the player but also fair to the team/cap as it lessens the risk in case of injury.
