Confirmed Signing with Link: [SEA] D Brandon Montour signs with the Kraken (7 years, $7.14M AAV)

[Catscountry40]

As panthers fan....wow this is a holy overpay. Love Monty and everything he did, but he has his ups and downs in 23-24. Frustrating at times. It is why they made the decision early to lock up Forsling and not even really work on Monty.

 

[Chaos2k7]

He isn't a top pair guy, needs to be insulated from top matchups.

Good luck Monty.

Hoping he can get back into form after a rough second half and playoffs

LFG!

That's gonna be a nice deal for a couple of years but I can't see him maintaining that level of value for the full 7.

Weegar is smiling far away lol

 

[Mogo]

Thank god he wasn't a UFA after that career year

Happy for him. Happy we didnt sign him long term too

 

[Chaos2k7]

Career year a year too early, could have been much worse.

 

[Danarqhy]

Disaster deal as soon as the ink is dry (overpaid by a solid 2-3 million), and it will only get worse and potentially much worse afterwards. Dude was already looking over-the-hill cooked this year. These GMs never learn

Damn, what time does FA start again?

The NHL should dock them a 1st round pick for tampering

 

[SomeDude]

For a GM who seems so risk averse, Francis sure does seem to really pick bad times to take risks.

Same. Personally, not too worried about the AAV, but the term is 2-3 years too long.

Uffda. Montour took them to the cleaners

 

[NeverForget06]

That’s a lot of cash for an offensive dman who got his spot on PP1 taken by OEL !

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Montour will age fine with his skating. Will be similar to Brian Campbell IMO

 

[jbron]

With the Montour signing,( overpayment and too long in length), ownership had to have really put the pressure on GMRF to win now. This is like Grubauer #2, when Ronnie goes off the wheels in free agency it's scary.

 

[cheesymc]

Congrats Monty on getting PAID, wish you were still a Duck!

 

[violaswallet]

Not a bad contract. Kind of wish we could have convinced him to like 6M over 8 years

 

[Catscountry40]

The fact Gustav Forsling is making nearly two million less than Monty is just theft.

Forsling is one of the best D-Men in the league

 

[FCH37]

It's too much and for too many years, but he was going to get that deal from someone. The Kraken can certainly use him.

 

[Curufinwe]

Was that quote about the Kovalchuk, 17 year, $102m deal?

 

[Paulinbc]

Now that is too much

SOB knows a lot of the Panthers players, gunna guess this is legit. Friedman also guessed it in his post this morning.

term and money.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Yikes, 7x7 is insane.
