Perfect term imo

 

[I Eat Crow]

Waiting on dollar amount. I said 6 years, 30 million all along. Anything less is a bargain.

Happy with it regardless. The Rangers needed to sign him long term.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Good shit. Hopefully he rebounds. Fair deal for both sides.

Brooks says 6 X $5.25MM

 

[Polar Bear]

5.25 per Brooks. Exactly what I suspected. Fair deal for both sides.

[Zibanejbread]

Love it.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Like the term a lot

 

[NYRFAN218]

5.25 per Brooks. Not an amazing deal but it's the going rate and fair all around. How many UFA years does this deal eat up?

 

[Fitzy]

So Skjei got the same deal as Tom Wilson at the same age.

 

[Irishguy42]

Inspired by the Wilson deal, IMO

 

[NYRFAN218]

Biggest thing to me was avoiding a bridge deal. You have the cap space the next two years, utilize it to lock these guys down long term so you don't get screwed like we have re. Hayes, Miller, and Stepan when they grow as players and cash out on the eve of becoming UFA.

 

[Good Intentions]

This is a guy with #1 upside. Very little risk here, IMO. Nicely done for both sides. Get those Skjei jerseys printed.

5.25 per Brooks. Not an amazing deal but it's the going rate and fair all around. How many UFA years does this deal eat up?

3 group III years

 

[SA16]

It’s fine but I still would have preferred to bridge him.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Good deal. Will look better and better as the years go on.

 

[RangerBoy]

Slavin got $5.3M for 7.

 

[haveandare]

Very good deal. Guess they like him since it goes past 2 years

 

[I Eat Crow]

5.25 per Brooks. Not an amazing deal but it's the going rate and fair all around. How many UFA years does this deal eat up?

Three. 5.25 is good but not great. Term is excellent at that rate though.

 

[Polar Bear]

It’s fine but I still would have preferred to bridge him.

I'm in the opposite camp. Bridging him might have cost us more money in the long run.

 

[rmhulse]

Happy with the AAV and term. Looking forward to how he rebounds this year.

 

[Inferno]

Strong deal for both parties

 

[SA16]

I'm in the opposite camp. Bridging him might have cost us more money in the long run.

I don't think the type of player he is will lend his contracts demands to significantly change over the next two seasons. And I don't expect him to get much PP time which should keep his counting numbers lower.

 

[Mike in Houston]

We all the way nice with this term and money.
