Here’s a list of 10 players who I would argue have noticeably increased their contract values this postseason, listed alphabetically. The list isn’t just “contract-year players having great playoffs.” It’s more about guys who have specifically changed their values. The Florida Panthers’, for instance, doesn’t appear here because he had already maxed out his value with a 57-goal season. He had little left to prove.
DeBrusk has flashed goal-scoring talent, speed and the ability to deliver big hot streaks throughout his career. And yet, seven seasons in, it still feels like the 2015 first-round pick underachieves relative to his ability, with no 30-goal season in the books. But he’s a different beast in the playoffs, slashing to the net with aplomb and playing a much more physical game than his regular-season one. He had five goals and 11 points in 13 games this postseason.
It sometimes feels like Skjei has been overlooked in Carolina. He’s a big, swift-skating defenseman with a knack for scoring goals. But he shares a blueline with elite shutdown man, among others. This postseason, though, Skjei was consistently noticeable. He played more than 21 minutes a night, and his nine points in 11 games matched forwards. Skjei has expressed a desire to remain a Hurricane, but keeping him won’t be cheap at this point.
