Confirmed Signing with Link: [FLA] F Anton Lundell re-signs with the Panthers (6 years, $5M AAV)

[scholl]

That’s a incredible deal for Zito/Florida

Lundell should be a 2C making 5M throughout that contract

I thought he signs for 5x$5m.
Money isn't everything for Finnish players. A 30 million contract is huge and after that he can sign one more long-term contract with higher AAV.

Only if you see him as 3C

Next year he's 2C when Benny leaves.

You forgot about the Calculators.

Great player & was low key a very solid playoff contributer too. He's basically been as advertised leading up to his Draft year. A good 2 way center who can still possibly be a top line center in a dee years. Right now he is a luxury to play on the 3rd line but is basically a 2nd line center right now ?

Great contract.

He was dominating in 2020 and a leading goal scorer but then he got Covid. So basically everybody who knows something about hockey knew what's going to happen.

Wow! Zito is just lapping the field and waving at the crowd now. Great deal for a really good young player.

 

[Mogo]

Wow big contract... almost like a Kotkaniemi one... they must think he will be taking big steps in the coming years. Don't they need that cap for their blueline after losing Monty and with Ekblad a UFA next year?

lol only thing lundell and kotkaniemi have in common is there finnish

5m for a 3C? Not saying it's bad, but it's not a home run either

Tell me you never saw Lundell play etc

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Good young player, good signing.

I thought 2-3 year deal to create some space for the near future but getting him at this price is a win in comparison

I thought I saw an article saying they are having talks with Bennett as well but fit wise that’s going to be tough, by next year Lundell should have grown past his current 3C role

 

[PAZ]

Lundell is already worth that, this is going to be a steal.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

This contract is going to age like wine.

 

[Mestaruus]

I like the deal for both sides. If there's a small discount from Lundy's side, it's okay, because he gets to learn from his country man Barky and at the same time Florida is a decent place to live at.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Great contract. Grossly underrated player and this one will age like fine wine

 

[Bocephus86]

God damn it Florida, why must you be in the Atlantic? Wormed your way into my heart over the last two years, make a good signing here... Et tu, Bruti?

 

[habsterr]

Great contract for a great player, wanted him on the Habs.

You forgot about the Calculators.

What’s the poster going to do in a few days when the calculator is gone.

5m for a 3C? Not saying it's bad, but it's not a home run either

It's basically a 2C playing as a 3C. Look at his numbers in the playoffs.

 

[TGWL]

Hopefully he gets a bigger role and can find himself more productive here. If he can find himself getting 18 mins a night I think this contract will be a fantastic one for Florida.

If his playoffs is any indication then he is about to break out.

Didn't he ' break out' in his rookie season and regress a bit since then?

He centered Marchment and Reinhart that season, on a President's trophy team.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Never heard of him
Reminds me of Lindt chocolate

Thank you

 

[jfhabs]

After getting 17pts in 24 playoffs game while being great defensively. Very good contract.

You new to hockey? Lundell in theese playoffs as 3C:

24gp 3g 14a 17p +8

The eye-test also show he is a 200ft "Barkov-lite". He plays in all situations and will be a bargain from next year. He is already almost 55% at FO, he is very reliable defensively and now started show he produces, against the best. Kotkaniemi isnt 30% of what Lundell is.

5m for a 3C? Not saying it's bad, but it's not a home run either

Watching hockey helps. You have no idea what player you are talking about.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Very good deal for the Panthers

You’ve definitely heard of him. He pissed on your team last year.

KK contract 2.0

Now I know it was worth the contract. Maybe a 60 point season coming up!
