We've signed @adriankempe to a four-year extension.
I’ll release a longer article looking at the contract but for a quick thought, I think the deal is alright but not excellent. Kempe had a breakout year and the term makes sense but the sample size of high-end production is small for that high of a cap hit on just a four-year deal. I would’ve expected the cap hit to be a bit lower with that term but still, if Kempe can keep up his production, he can certainly bring more than $5.5 million worth of value.
