Vegas Golden Knights Sign Defenseman Shea Theodore to Seven-Year Contract Extension | Vegas Golden Knights

Theodore signs with Golden Knights through 2031-32 season

www.nhl.com

Theodore extends for 7 years at $7.4 million aav. Damn, I figured with the Hanifin signing, they'd opt to mover Theodore to retool and get a bit younger. Theodore is an absolute stud tho

I wanna see Brady do this to Rasmussen as the Sens demolish the Wings after a game. We need to continue the bad blood between both teams

Not a fan of this deal, was hoping Laf would ask for $9 million and squeeze the Rags, but looks like he's down with the Drury plan. He'll be a monster if he ever starts getting PP time

Yeah that's great. Love the facial expression he throws at hughes there.

Pens Oilers is a little nuts.. shots are 29 to 5 not even halfway through the game for the Oilers

I think the deal will grow really nicely.

We're at an awkward point with the cap where both the agents and GMs know it is going to grow, so there is some give and take between what players get because even a deal like this has a lot of risk for the player. In 2 years with the cap at 100M+, this is 2nd line money.

A big factor to consider is that this buys up a lot of UFA years. People are going to compare this to all the other 8Mx7-8 year deals signed by other young stars, but most of those have come off of the ELC, and some of those players didn't even burn 3 full RFA years on their ELC.

Lafreniere is giving up 5 UFA years. Stutzle gave up 4. Guenther only gave up 3. Beniers only gave up 2. Byfield gave up only gave up 1.

The Rangers did very well with Lafreniere. They got him on a bridge deal for very cheap during a window when they were contending, then they bought up 5 UFA years for what is going to end up being in a realistic worst case scenario, market value for a top 6 forward. He only got modest trade protection, and he does not have signing bonuses beyond the third year of the contract.

Jarry on a conditioning stint? I looked on Pens board and couldn't find anything.

Yup. Not sure what their plan is with him but Blomqvist is a real option to take over as starter. Was great in the AHL last year and looks ready for the NHL.

Gus got lit up

 

[Xspyrit]

Dorion talk about the 2018 draft today. He’s list was
Dahlin
Svechnikov
Tkachuk
Bouchard
Hugues
Dobson
Kotka
Zadina
Said not a chance they picked Zadina. If Montreal would have picked Tkachuk. He would have traded back for taking one of the three D

I wonder if he's being 100% honest. Almost look like a list in hindsight

The guy asked him what it would have cost to get the Sens 4th OA pick with the 8th OA and he said "at least a 2nd round pick"

I'm listening now. My french is bad...but did he say DJ was involved in drafting?

 

[Senovision]

Bruins beat the 1967 Stanley Cup champs in overtime tonight.
Matthews got the assist on Boston's game winning goal in OT.

 

[Ouroboros]

Leafs kinda brutal so far this season.

 

[Senscore]

Leafs were lucky to get to OT

 

[Sensrule]

Kastelic with another goal. He's gonna have a career year.

 

[Knave]

That leadup to the Bruins OT winner was a classic.

Matthews can't handle some pressure.
Marner is checked out and heading off on a line change, game state be damned,
Reilly thinks the 3 of them are about to push forward. He eventually sprints back to overshoot his own net while the Bruins score.

It's such a Toronto moment. 3 players who have been with each other for years on completely different pages.

Is Matthews the most culpable? Yeah, probably. But I've seen so many bad changes by Marner like that that have cost his team goals. I've seen Reilly misread and panic so many times as well. Nothing has changed.

 

[HSF]

Leafs kinda brutal so far this season.

they generally start slow.

apparently a 4-4 record is common for them to start in the past few years except 1

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Yeah Toronto always has a mediocre October. They’ll be fine.
