Seems like a great deal that will only get better in a couple years.

 

[Trap Jesus]

What a deal for the Canes, damn.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Surprised he didnt get more.

 

[93LEAFS]

Should be a good deal for the Canes.

 

[Bologna 1]

ron francis you brilliant brilliant man

 

[GoldiFox]

5 years from now Slavin will be one of the top D in the NHL making $5.3 million a year with 3 years left. This is a good day for Canes fans.

 

[H3ckt1k]

Real good contract

 

[Stephen Gionta]

What a deal for Carolina.

 

[The Missing Piece]

Very good deal for Canes. Jealous...Sign and trade? haha JK

 

[Unsustainable]

I was hoping for a 5m, 5.3 is still a steal.

Our back end is going to be expensive in a year, Slavin, Pesce, Hanifin all coming off of ELCs, then next will be Fluery off of his ELC, then TVR as a RFA.

7 years, $5.3M AAV

That is an unbelievable AAV. Good work GMRF

That should also set the tone for Pesce's extension, too. I'd like to see him extended and buy out some UFA years at a discount. I think Hanifin gets a bridge or "show-me" contract.

 

[Patagonia]

Great deal and would be an absolute steal in the later years.

 

[McJesusSaves97]

impressive young D...very nice deal for Canes

 

[Paralyzer]

So where did Carolina find the money to pay him 5.3M? Wasn't there rumors of the team can't afford long term deals because of money issues? I mean, that's a great deal, but I wasn't expecting them to sign a long term deal due to money issues. Please fill me in if I am wrong.

 

[mcpw]

Now trade him for James van Riemsdyk

 

[Unsustainable]

Slavin ranked second in the NHL in takeaways, first among league defensemen in shorthanded points and tied for 10th among league blueliners in plus/minus.

He's a beast.

 

[Evergreen]

If this guys is as good as Canes fans say, this should be a steal.

Key word there...

 

[AhoLottaLove]

Hell of a signing. Slavin is a stud. Consider that he was a +23 on a team that was collectively -21.

 

[Liferleafer]

Great deal. Congrats Canes fans.
