Byfield signs for 5x$6.25M. He was the pick after Laf in 2020, potentially comparable for his extension.

  1. Seems like a lot for a guy, albeit young, who hasn’t done a whole lot

  2. Slight overpay short-term, but potential to be the best bargain in the league come the end of it.

  3. Zero-jiggler

    Would be very happy if we locked up Laf for something similar

  4. elevenibba

    gonna make this look veeery cheap soon. hope laf signs for the same

  5. WorkoutMan885

    I wish laf would sign that, but he’d be crazy to

  6. Krispyford

    This is the Kings banking on him making this contract look like a steal in a year or two. If Laf signs a deal like this, we should be eternally grateful to Drury. I have a feeling he’s getting more. $7,000,000 annually at least.

  7. Mac-the-ice

    If he is worth 6.25, Lad is going to get 7.5

  8. I’ll be doing backflips in the street if we get Laf for something similar, which would be dangerous, because I can’t do backflips

  9. Anyone else remember when Laf did the #1 celly in front of him?

    For a second I thought this was a Lindgren signing and I got real panicked.

    I wouldn’t mind a similar contract for Laffy. Similar half point per game average between the two. I wouldn’t be surprised if Laffy does well this year and pushes for more, though.

    Laf is a better player he will get more.

  12. So LA seems to think Byfield is going to be a good 2/3W. That isn’t a first line wing contract given the 5 year term.

    Laf would get more if he has a similar year to this past season. If he plays worse or just puts up lesser numbers, this is where he will end up.
