That is one bizarre looking contract.

 

[Gee Wally]

Thanks for posting that.

So essentially JJ ponied up and yielded on basically paying him for a years worth + even if there is no season.

not nowadays.
Its all about guaranteed money as lockout protection. The AAV used to be all there was to the story................not anymore.

I just don't understand what players and agents are thinking there. The owners won't lockout players with the current CBA. They'll just keep going.

The risk is a strike. And if you strike, you gotta pay it back.

Hopefully its an indication he wont be pushing so hard for a lockout. . .

a guy can dream.

Nice very reasonable ,good job bye Sweeney

No you don't.

The bonus is for simply putting your signature on the contract. That's it. No other obligation.

I think, as he continues to do this (Bergeron & Marchand) you have a valid point.

How much does he feel to gain by a new CBA (lockout) vs the payouts he still has to make?

Yahoooooooo
I am so happy we got this deal done NOW.
All we need is another decent forward that can give us 15-20 goals and we are off to the races.
Cap Friendly has us with a 2.6 million cap space now, gives us a bit of room to maneuver.
I like the T Purcell PTO tryout contract, hope he has something left in the tank.
He scored 32 pts 3 yrs ago.

Ya that's not how it works.

 

[KnightofBoston]

WOW


That's a huge win for Sweeney

 

[DKH]

Im not going to say I told you so. I'm not going to say I told you so. I'm not going to say I told you so.

<dunks>

I think I posted 10 deals figuring I would hit on one so I could gloat and I didn't have this

 

[northeastern]

Any ntc?

 

[northeastern]

Yet will still turn out to be a great deal for Edmonton in the long-run.

Looking at pastas deal the LD deal is an overpayment. Chia spent excess cap he could have used improving his team elsewhere.

Hilarious GIF I just saw from yesterday after KHL rumors:

[GloryDaze4877]

How do I make that my avatar?

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Glad he's signed.

Would have given him more $$$(7-7.5M) per year so the term was 8y but overall, not a bad deal at all for the Bruins.

Now let's win this division!

 

[KnightofBoston]

Kudos to Don Sweeney. he has now made exactly one decent deal as Bruins GM.

Decent? 6.7 is a steal

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

That's a real good number

Barry and Sweeney did well

Want to see bonus money and NMC etc

Hopefully these two kids have learned a bit about each other and future dealings will go well - I would imagine they will

Nothing like a good compromise

There can't be NTC/NMC for the first 4y. It's only possible for the last two.

Marchand says hello.

 

[Bad Puck Bounce]

Ya that's not how it works.

Actually in the NHL that's exactly how it works.

I'll try to dig up the link I was reading when I get out of class later today.

 

[EvilElf63]

Great deal, great AAV.

 

[Seidenbergy]

Anyone who thinks that a 21 year old kid getting $40 Million dollars to play a game he loves has been slighted is out of their mind.

If you are talking "the real world", then you might be right. Professional sports? Completely different. You can most definitely sign a $40 mil contract and be slighted at the same time. It's all about context.

Just to be crystal clear, I'm not saying that Pasta has been slighted, just that it IS possible for a 21 year old millionaire to be slighted.

 

[BruinDust]

Looking at pastas deal the LD deal is an overpayment. Chia spent excess cap he could have used improving his team elsewhere.

As I said before, with the 8-year term vs. 6, you can't even compare the two.

Apples to oranges now.

Even if the Drasitl contract is an overpayment, that overpayment amount (call it 1.5 million a season for arguments sake) isn't going to make any difference to Edmonton's chances. It's not like that little bit more that could of been saved will give them the space to bring in anyone of significance.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Has anyone checked in to see if KrejciMVP is ok?

With Pasta on the right, he's probably training to be Krejci's left wing, since (he thinks) no one else is suitable.
