Thomas Bathory and Austin Roenick both deserve max contracts in the SMJHL meaning $3 M. My reasoning for this is Roenick in his rookie season was top 5 in rookie scoring and honestly had an amazing rookie season and he will only get better next year when he has even more time to grow. In his rookie year he is already on the top line for the Lethrbidge Lions on Luffy's left side and honestly does not look out of place in his placement. With the value he adds to the team it is easy to see that he is deserving of a max contract. Another player I think deserves the max SMJHL contract on Lethbridge is Bathory who is an amazing rookie defenseman that basically has already cracked the 2nd defensive pairing and has been playing as if he is a veteran in the SMJHL without any of those rookie struggles. Bathory has easily made a case for himself earning a max level contract as he is quite obviously one of if not the best defenseman out of the S47 draft class and has left a lasting impact on the Lions. He essentially has stepped up to take the role of Brennan Kennedy Jr.who got called up at the beginning of the season and honestly has done an excellent job filling in the large hole that was left behind. @XLeafer @vbottas17
