Can Seider get more than Larkin? Pinto, a Perfetti company
Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: If the Detroit Red Wings sign defenseman Moritz Seider to a long-term deal, they can pass Dylan Larkin $8.7 million each.
The salary could rise to $92 million next season, the final year of the CBA.
Sources said Shane Pinto's extension is comparable (two years with a cap hit of $3.75 million) to Cole Perfetti as they have similar numbers.

Jamison Coyle: “Yes, as we get closer and closer to opening night. Who has the hammer in these negotiations? A player or team. Do you think there is a situation?
Pagnotta: “It depends on what you know, who you are dealing with, and what their situation is like.
If you look at Cole Perfetti, for example, in Winnipeg, he said all the right things during the press tour. He went as a proxy without a contract, as a show of good faith, saying, 'Hey, I know we're going to get there. We have to lock this down.'
Now, it sounds like his side are looking at a temporary extension as well. Maybe they go three years. Cole Perfetti is someone who, according to people I spoke to, will agree to sign a long-term deal to stay with the Jets. They haven't gotten there yet, but the lines of communication are still open.
