Confirmed Signing with Link: [MIN] Chris Stewart (2 years, $1.15M AAV)

[Vipers31]

TSN announced 2yrs @ $1.15M AAV.

McKenzie has it at $2.3M AAV.

 

[Brewsky]

What a disappointment he has become from what everybody thought he would be as a young player.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I can't understand this move.

I guess this kills a potential deal with Edmonton for one of your defenceman though.

 

[TheSauceBoss]

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

Agreed. Luckily it's 1.15M aav

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Bob just tweeted 2.3 AAV. If that is true, not sure what he did to earn that.

If its 1.15 that's fine.

 

[liquiduck]

AAV is 1.1 not 2.3

edit: nvm

 

[Gump Hasek]

Wow, Minnesota getting older and slower.

 

[Vipers31]

Agreed. Luckily it's 1.15M aav

AAV is 1.1 not 2.3

EDIT: Just now he corrected it.

He just corrected it to 1.15

As someone already said, a player you can expose in the expansion draft to meet the stupid requirements. Brings toughness to a small and not so aggressive team. Good deal.

 

[Engebretson]

Ok, at $1.15mil AAV, I can officially be more comfortable about this deal

 

[McDonald19]

Ok for 4th line. Very tough, will fight anyone for a teammate. Face got broken by a punch last season.

Definitely lacks consistency with offensive production.

 

[Sonofamitch]

This guy still alive?

 

[Lapa]

No complaints at 1.15M AAV

 

[Bookman]

He was a popular teammate his first stint here - didn't look slow either.

For Chris Porter money, I like this deal. More size will help.

 

[Rebuilt]

The price is right but in my opinion this guy is done. Same with signing Eric Staal. Minny needs to start UNLOADING this crap, not take MORE.

 

[Realm]

Obviously a Bruce signing, he must have liked him.

 

[rynryn]

yeah we're doomed, at 2 and 3 year contracts. This gives us time for Tuch and Ek to get up to speed, and Greenway...i think he might be a surprise.

He is done, which is why he's on a 1.1m AAV contract. He'll play a physical 4th line role with the occasional scoring touch, maybe getting a bit of 3rd line time as injuries occur. It's not like small 2-3 year deals are going to break the team.

We signed two players to less than $5M/year combined!!! NOBODY FREAK OUT

 

[TaLoN]

I think the Wild played the game right today. Adding some minor pieces to tweak the roster and see what they really have under the new coaching staff before they go ballistic trying to make deals that may set them back.
