[Le Tricolore]

[Vachon23]

 

[EveryDay]

Solid deal, I love it.

 

[Redux91]

WOW

What a GREAT DEAL good job Kent good job Jake!!

[Naslund]

What Bergevin could never do. Sign players at reasonable prices.

 

[Tyson]

YES!!!!!

2.9 mil a year???? what a steal man.... i feel bad for the guy though, he deserves a bit more in my opinion.

He didn't have to sign

 

[Hacketts]

Now McDonald's get that man his own burger.

 

[Rapala]

Good amount, too long on term.

Easy to dump IMO.

 

[McGees]

not bad. I like Jake.
Hoped for another 1st but this will help our team with crap down the middle

 

[badfish]

What Bergevin could never do. Sign players at reasonable prices.

And without NTC/NMC lol

 

[Benstheman]

He clearly wanted to stay. I'm fine with it good contract.

Now please DO NO sign any of Savard, Armia and Dvorak.

Armia will be extended also.

 

[GordonGraham]

wow he left a lot of money on the table

 

[Adriatic]

Lololol at all those insiders. Bunch of morons that know nothing.

 

[LaP]

YES!!!!!

2.9 mil a year???? what a steal man.... i feel bad for the guy though, he deserves a bit more in my opinion.

Made no sense for KH to give more. The decision was in Evans hands all along imo. Did he want to stay for "cheap" or test the market. KH stuck to his guns.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Great contract! He must be happy here!

Great news!

 

[Whitesnake]

Wow...what a superb deal! Good job Ken. Happy to keep the homegrown on board! Jake, a 7th rounder, surpassed every prognosis. And is such an important piece for us especially at that price. Just wow again.

 

[Kents polished head]

I won't go as far as saying it's a bargain as some here suggest. But it's definitely not an ugly deal from the team's perspective.

 

[_vivelequebec_]

He deserves more... happy for everyone but he got hustled a bit

 

[LaP]

Armia will be extended also.

That will be a mistake

 

[Subban signed e5]

He clearly wanted to stay. I'm fine with it good contract.

Now please DO NO sign any of Savard, Armia and Dvorak.

I would be fine with Armia tbh. Savard is done in the NHL

 

[Adam Michaels]

YES!!!!

 

[le_sean]

Don’t negotiate with Kent apparently.
