Can't say I understand this one

According to Russo, to get ahead of any offer sheets next offseason.

Feel like they should have at least seen some more NHL experience before handing out a contract. Although, I’m not sure how much that would have shifted the contract one way or the other.

I wasn’t expecting this. But ok

Looks like GMs are getting more weary of offer sheets after what St. Louis just did to Edmonton.

I don’t have any issues with this. Wally has looked fantastic.

Something to point to when he's in Swayman's spot and we can say "hey look, remember when we did you a super solid early on"?

 

[keppel146]

Not much risk here imo. I like it.

Is he even eligible for offer sheets next year?

Is he even eligible for offer sheets next year?

I think he'll need to play 25 games this year to get there.

 

[Wild925]

I like it. You can't really pay him much less, but hypothetically if he absolutely pops off this year he's asking for millions more. So in my eyes and from a mathematical approach this was great for hedging risk.

 

[Circulartheory]

Nice, was expecting him signing a 2yr 2.5-2.8 range at the end of the season. So this works nicely.

it's cool when things happen

 

[BuckifyouKnuck]

Sharks gave Askarov 2 x $2M per starting next year, so pretty much in line with that

 

[Digitalbooya]

Having a starter at $2.2M for two years could be really solid.
