Pittsburgh Extends

Maxim Afinogenov (B-) RW - 1 year 3.333 M to 4 year 3.5 M

brendan morrow get 4.1 M
nathan horton gets 4 M

He feels Semin is a player that is more like him in terms of style and would like a contract in that dollar range....

semin is younger and better
morrow and horton are also better and we are willing to give hime 4 M
same amount as horton and a little less than semin

Semin is also a lower rating, 2 points lower but is a B as opposed to a B-......he still thinks he is worth Semin money.

semin is the same rating as afinaganov but is younger and has better potential

also afinaganov averaged 0.5 points per game
semin averaged 0.7 points per game

4.25

3 years at 4.250 M
