Player Discussion: Brock Nelson

I'm... pretty damn happy with that AAV. If Barry can continue to get what he got out of him this year, then it'll be a good deal.
 
I'll take it. Would have been nice to get an upgrade at 2C but that means either 1. getting Duchene or 2. making a trade, both of which are really tough to pull off. Of course we can still add Duchene (or someone else) and be really stacked down the middle but yeah chances of that happening are lowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
 
I'm relieved. If everyone leaves we have too many holes to fill. The idea that we are getting Duschene, Panarin is dreaming. Would love it but look at history. Given our lack of depth at Center, I'm glad he stayed. Now the big if: Let's hope we get the guy Trots turned into a solid 2-way player and not inconsistent Brock
 
And it opens up room for Panarin.

It's a lot but that's what it costs. Relieved to have at least 1 FA back in the fold... Guess lee gets 7x7?
 
(will put this in the Brock thread)
That's not so outlandish. We probably could have locked him up for 5 x 5.75 earlier this year. So he basically got another year. I'm ok with that.

Locking in Brock may not be the most ideal move, but based on where this team is, what's out there and his versatility, its the move we needed to make.

Good job Lou. This move gives us a lot more flexibility going into Free Agency.
 
I really like this deal because there's a lot more winger options in FA than Center. Nelson has been solid for us, and looked to have improved under Trotz last year. Reasonable term and AAV for a 27 year old. Nice to have him locked up before other teams can start talking to him.

IMO, if Lee won't take a team friendly deal, we should roll the dice in see what we can do in free agency/trade. We have to look for players that will fit in here over the next 5 years, not reward players for what they've done the previous 3 years.

Yeah - there's no way Lee's AAV can be lower than Brock's. But maybe its somewhere in the 6 years/$43m range. I'm cool with that too. Give Lehner $4.75m AAV over 4-5 years, and I'm as happy as a puppy with two peters.
 
I’ve never been a big Nelson guy but we obviously had no choice but to bring him back. I had him pegged at $6.5 AAV so getting him for $500k is a bit of a bargain. As long as he puts up 25 goals and 50 points, it’ll be a fine deal.
 
Given our lack of center this is probably the safe move so I can't complain. If by any small chance we can sign Duchene(which I put at about 1%) then I wouldn't resign Lee and maybe Move Nelson to LW
