SCOTT MAYFIELD - Defenseman - 26 - $1.45MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2023-2024
LAST UPDATED 12/30/18
After struggling through the Isles' one season in Doug Weight's defense-optional system, Scott Mayfield has emerged as a viable NHL defenseman under new coach Barry Trotz. Under Trotz, Mayfield has been able to better utilize his size (he's 6'5") in his own end and his decent skating and offensive instincts to create scoring chances. He's currently on pace for a career year of 32 points. If he can reach that marker, and continue to play ~20-ish solid minutes of defense, he can be a good #5 for a long time to come, and the Isles will look like geniuses for locking him up until 2023-24 at such a low cap hit.
