thats alot of money for someone who is in reality a 3rd line player. if the cap goes up i guess its ok

If he can play like this year that’s an ok deal. Good for Barby, he’s earned it.



Interesting

Predators should be moving Saros, if anyone. He's already thirty-one, and Askarov is not only much younger, but he's very highly regarded and fits their rebuild more than Saros does.

But since they're in our division, I hope they deal Askarov to an Eastern Conference team.

Barbashev 5 years 5M AAV with Vegas. Happy for him.

Barbie getting paid. Good for him.

Nashville gunning for #5 maybe?

Good for Barby. He's always been a favorite of mine. Wish he was here, but glad he made good for his future security.

I think more likely Montreal will use Askarov to help Michkov come over (or acclimate).

Surprised he didn't get something more along the lines of Hyman's 7yr x 5.5mil AAV(with a flat cap to boot). But still a great deal for Barby.

i think he left money on table but that is great fit for him there. was smart to sign with place where he knows it works than take more on bad team and become anchor that gets passed around.

Yea, if they keep him with Eichel for the duration, he is more likely to get a good contract coming out of this one too.

Nice.

It wouldn't shock me if ROR landed there.

A little 57-90 magic

guess he still wants more than $1.5 million, we'll see if detroit gives him that

A little surprised…figured they would let him play with Bedard and try to flip him at 50% at the TDL.

I like the deal for Barby. $25M was a good, reasonable target for him given his play over the last 2 years. I think he could have gotten more if he was willing to just go to the highest bidder in UFA and I wouldn't have been at all surprised if he had gone that route since he now has his name on the Cup twice. But I think $25M is a great number to stay in a great situation.

I do think he could have (and should have) gotten better trade protection on a $5M x 5 year deal. An 8 team no-trade list for years 1-3 and a 5 team no-trade list for years 4+5 isn't all that great. At that price point coming off his playoff run, I would have thought he'd have been able to get robust protection in years 1-3 and somewhat better protection in the last couple years.

I'll be surprised if he finishes this contract in Vegas and his limited protection is going to open the door to him playing a couple years in a place he doesn't want to be.

Helps the AAV. But when Hyman signs for his 29-36 age seasons, I figured Barby could get more term considering he’s 27 currently

Red wings are likely to have more blues #1 picks in their lineup next year than we will.

Wow. That is terrible. Screw Montreal fans who did this.

Wow, Preds bought out Duchene

Wow, Preds bought out Duchene

yuck. Have they not learned from wild? Dead cap kills you. They aren’t good anyway. Woukd be better to just keep him until they can eventually give him away.

 

[MissouriMook]

Wow, Preds bought out Duchene

If you could sign him at $3.5M a year, I would have rather added him as the 3C for 2-3 years than Hayes.
