[Wild Caniac]

He was okay a full year ago. Why bring him back?

 

[izzy]

Why would they bring him back?

 

[mightyquack]

A raise AND a second year on the contract? Stewart needs to buy his agent a beer or five.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Weird move.

 

[nilssont]

This is so bad. He was god awful in Anaheim

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

Wow, seems like a lot, and with term....

Not a fan of this one

 

[TheSauceBoss]

Don't like this at all.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Wow, isn't Minnesota tight with the cap?

 

[Nalens Oga]

Did Fletcher not watch the playoffs or think it's 2003 lol? They got a lot slower today with Stewart and Staal. Oh wait they can maybe play a good bottom six role....no they can't they suck defensively, Staal stopped tryign in his own end years ago.

They have Boudreau at least and these deals aren't too long term that's the only positive.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Eric Staal and now Chris Stewart

Minnesota is going to be slow next season

 

[Emerald Duck]

Wow the money MIN just saved on Staal's asking price was spent on Stewart

 

[gwh]

Maybe the plan is to play Stewart as a 4th line grinder? 1.1mil AAV is not a lot.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Wow, isn't Minnesota tight with the cap?

Yes we are.

 

[Drij]

where was he last year?

 

[Weltschmerz]

first Staal now that one haha

 

[Engebretson]

Welp, at least his expectations here will be nice and low since we've already seen what he can do in a Wild sweater.

Also, I'm going to need some clarification eventually on the AAV before I officially like or hate this deal.

 

[JJTT]

where was he last year?

Ducks

 

[varano]

Why does this guy keep getting contracts. Hes been crap for years

 

[TheSauceBoss]

TSN announced 2yrs @ $1.15M AAV.

 

[indigobuffalo]

Remember that time you went to the super questionable food truck for lunch and got really sick? And then you went back a week later hoping that was just a fluke.

This is that same thing.

 

[deckercky]

2 year contract means he counts as a player to expose in the expansion draft assuming he plays enough.

 

[BlueDream]

Maybe Minnesota is just looking for some toughness. They don't have much of it.

 

[SEALBound]

When will teams learn on Chris Stewart? If it's 2.3mil / year...then...someone in Minny's FO should be fired...today...

 

[mightyquack]

Maybe the plan is to play Stewart as a 4th line grinder? 1.1mil AAV is not a lot.

It's 2.3m AAV
