Yes yes yes

Love it. This will be a bargain almost immediately.

 

[tr83]

Fair deal

 

[njdevil26]

What a deal. I am really surprised Nico was willing to do it now... figured he would try to get more after possibly having a breakout year. But this is great.

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

woah. out of left field.

 

[FooteBahl]

1.5 million more than Zajac...that is friggin fantastic. Also allows him another massive contract at 27...must be nice

 

[NJDevils17]

Very happy with it

 

[Satans Hockey]

That's great news that this is going to be locked up for awhile but Hall has to be worth more so going to be interesting to see what he ends up getting.

I'm really not worried about cap space, we have plenty of room and a few bigger contracts will be gone soon enough.

 

[Blackjack]

This buys what, 3 UFA years? Amazing.

Four

It's a 7 year deal, so it's 3. Nico would've been eligible to be a UFA in 2024 because he would've had 7 accrued seasons at that point.

yeah, of course he is already in year 3 of his rookie deal which I somehow mangled

Probably leaving some money on the table.. this is a steal for the team.

We can thank Clayton Keller for this.

I LIKE her handwriting

Only downside is that we don't get that 8th year, but Hischier so much better than Kelle that it's still a much better contract.
