I think this is just about what everyone was hoping for. Very nice.

for thornton

for marleau

But the question remains... do they still have NTCs?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Doug Wilson is the best.

Of course they do.

Love this deal!

Upgraded to full NMCs

Love the signing in both price and length, but this is what I was wondering. My guess is yes.

Awesome news!

Boom goes the dynamite. I wonder who gets the next extension...

 

[Leidi J]

Wingels, Demers and Stalock are coming up on RFA. I'm guessing Demers is next.

Really good deals for both!

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Marleau's 3-year deal is worth $6.66 M a year AAV; Thornton's deal is $6.75 M a year AAV.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
"@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Marleau's 3-year deal is worth $6.66 M a year; Thornton's deal is $6.75 M a year."/SJ continues to get bang for buck.

Thornton's new deal also has a NMC (obviously), not sure about Marleau's yet.

Yesssssss. Love it. Truly Love it

Thornton, Marleau, Pav's & Couture 6.34 AAV

Wingels, Demers and Stalock are coming up on RFA. I'm guessing Demers is next.

I think the pending UFAs will probably be dealt with first. If the Sharks are going to keep Boyle, I think he will be next.

 

[Juxtaposer]

These are insanely good! Less AVV and years than the Sedins. I'm giddy

I would guess that DW will wait until the off season to deal with all of the RFA's.

I have a feeling we're not going to keep Boyle around unless he takes a sizable pay cut. Our other UFAs are Brown, Hannan and Kearns which aren't exactly big priorities.

Niemi is UFA after next season, if we plan on keeping him long term we're probably going to have to give him an extension sooner rather than later as well considering DW's track record of not letting guys get to FA that he wants to keep.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

For some reason this makes me giggle like an idiot.

 

[Leidi J]

Same with Braun. He's UFA next summer, and we usually see DW extend guys one year early. SO I'd expect a Braun extension this summer.
