Term's a bit long, but 5.5 is a good number and we'll be able to dump it if necessary down the line

Will have to see the structure to determine if this is ok or a boat anchor.

[Satans Hockey]

Between this and Carolina losing Guentzel nice to see them hopefully being a worse team this upcoming season

 

[Bleedred]

Only $500k more and the same term as Zadorov, who I think has more favorable odds to fall apart earlier than Pesce.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

I like it alot.

 

[Darkauron]

Great deal

 

[Edmonton East]

Fair market value in UFA. Is what it is. At 6 years, $4.5 is probably what he deserved.

 

[Devs3cups]

Like this a lot.

 

[Blender]

I like it. Term is a bit long but the AAV is good.

 

[Saugus]

Foregone conclusion, given the rumors from the past several days.

Definitely an upgrade for our defense. I hope he gets paired with Luke Hughes and can cover for Luke's adventures.

Not digging the 6 years.....

but maybe a nothingburger in the end.

 

[Classic Devil]

Really good contract.

They lost Skjei too. Horrible day for them.

Love this signing.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Have always loved Pesce and excited to have him in the fold. He’s going to look real nice next to Luke.

I think that’s Marino’s body

One of us! One of us! One of us!

I forget, did Dougie play with Pesci in Carolina or was it Slavin?

 

[JimEIV]

It's really excellent that both Luke and Nemec will have a veteran partner that can play a solid defensive game.

Yep. Fitzgerald wasn’t going to let last year happen again in that regard. And you have Kovacevic who can rotate in on a whim. Another big body who defends well.

LOL i'm sure you're right. That's great.

Due to HFB instability.... I'll put my very brief thoughts here not to waste precious bandwidth:

I approve! Less money than I expected!

Sure hope it works out because this team is literally counting on some improvement over Marino.
