Man, these hot takes are something else.

 

[All Mighty]

Serevalli? The one who said Gibby has played last game as Duck?

To be fair, Gibson vomited in the next game he played as a Duck.

 

[Reveille1984]

Yes, I'm sure Zegras was asking for $5.75 all along and never backed down

 

[cheesymc]

This is great news! I was still hoping for an 8 year contract but I think Verbeek didn't think it was worth the risk and would prefer to pay more if Z can prove it in the next few years.

Now we can stop hearing about bullshit trade rumors for at least a few years.

He really thinks he's Megamind and knows everything it's such an annoying characteristic

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Very fair deal. Also pretty clear that Zegras was never asking for $5M like Pagnotta speculated.

My thoughts exactly. Good to have a deal done, the speculations in some of the threads were getting out of hand.

 

[ReptilianQuack]

This seems very "Team Friendly" imo.

 

[dracom]

f***ing finally. This is a deal that should have been inked out awhile ago but w/e it’s done.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Hell yeah, very fair number for both sides, f***ing pumped to have him at camp

I’m not sure how to write this, but how is this guy ‘famous’ in Ducks hockey circles?

has a podcast, I think that's literally it, he doesn't have any actual insider knowledge or anything, but you'd never know that from how much he acts like his own shit doesn't stink

Troy Stecher hoping to play against Z in one of the remaining preseason games...

 

[Deuce22]

Just hopefully both parties walk away happy and can negotiate a long term deal in 2 years.

Agree, if Zegras continues to improve and earns it.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

So the $3mil rumor was definitely bullshit lol... No way you pitch 3 and end up at almost 6.

Would have loved a long term deal but happy he's here and I think it's a fair number

Spittin Chiclets said it was for $4M (and they said it was from good sources). My guess is Zegras’ side started at around $7M, then they worked their way to $5.75M.

 

[branmuffin17]

Thanks God. Hopefully Drys in the next day or so?

 

[Deuce22]

Good job by Verbeek to stand firm for a fair deal. The leaks from Zegras camp seem to be off. Way more important to get a deal like this done (late) than to overpay (on time).

 

[Leonardo87]

People on that X platform don't understand the difference between a UFA and RFA contract, and negotiations with them.

I don't think that's a Twitter-exclusive problem lol

Always has been, but that’s true of all the Anaheim Calling staff from back in the mid-2010s. There’s a reason why people like @Hockey Duckie and I stopped being regulars there

 

[Leonardo87]

This is a fine damn contract for both parties. It's good faith and it's going to make things a little easier when his next deal is up.

There was no world he should be making more than Terry now, and people don't see that. They want to throw 8 or 9 million at him, and I'm like, Wha?
