Colour me surprised. Well done!

I hope JPat is the first to ask a question at the presser.

I don't HATE it. Probably less than the going rate for dmen

 

[ManVanFan]

Serious?

 

[Lemmiwinks]

7.25 doesn’t seem bad on 8 years given the rumours that he was getting 8+

 

[Vector]

Serious?

This is 100% confirmed by the team. It's their account tweeting it out.

 

[Goon42]

thats a lot of years for a guy that no showed the playoffs

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

That's about where projections were for him on a deal with term. Can't overstate the importance of having a good, steady partner for Hughes, either. 26-year-old, right shot, right-side defenders are hard to get.

I don't think it's a bargain, but I think it's a decent contract and value for an almost impossible to replace commodity.

booya

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Slightly overpaid imo

But 8 years is worth the investment

 

[krutovsdonut]

also "dominoes!"

I don't like the deal but the guy was clearly injured in his first ever playoffs

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Have to assume Big Z is a goner now and mgmt focuses on bringing back Myers and potentially signing Dillon.

 

[Vancouver_2010]

yikes, not a good signing in my opinion.

 

[ManVanFan]

This is 100% confirmed by the team. It's their account tweeting it out.

Ok then. I'm a bit shocked, a little surprised, happy, and my dream of Van getting a 1st round pick in this draft just went out the window I'd say haha

 

[Bgav]

I can live with that!

[MarkusNaslund19]

f*** yes! Literally cheered out loud when I wrote this.

With the cap going up this isn't just fair, this will be pointed to as an amazing deal within just a couple of years.

Whooo!

 

[moiderer]

8 years of an AAV that should hopefully look more palatable over time.

Second half of the season and playoffs were disappointing but the injury rumblings seem too obvious to be false. Haven't had an RHD this good since young Tanev either.

Nice to see players wanting to stick around.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

I was hoping for something under 7M but the point totals weren’t going to allow that to happen. Dude got lucky that he signed ina year when the cap goes up significantly, hopefully he can live up to it.

 

[Luck 6]

Yup, that's fine. This takes him through his prime up to age 34.

He's a top pairing RHD, you have to pay to get guys like that. I was hoping for 7mil, but 7.25mil is fine.

Ahahahahahahahahaha.

Hmm..should I start watching the sport instead of staring at the charts?

No, it's the sport that's wrong.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Probably market valueish to a slight overpay. Could look really good in a few years when contracts rise. If he was just playing through an injury and is closer to the player he was in the first half than the second than this contract will be a steal.
