Oh?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Lol aiight.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Oof big price but watching ufas today , id rather have slaf for 8 years

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

That should age pretty well, congrats Habs fans

 

[Regal]

Damn. Based on how he played in the second half, this is going to be a massive steal once he hits his prime

 

[CraigBillington]

Think this will age very well

 

[Dave92]

I think it's a good bet.

Will likely be over paid for a few years upfront and underpaid on the back.

 

[bigbadbruins1]

uhh... this is the definition of a boom or bust deal. either it'll look like one of the worst deals in the league or one of the best. not much room for any inbetween.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Wow huge overpayment for a kid who hasn't even proved himself yet.

This guys agent is an allstar

If he keeps up the game he was playing later half last year, that's a steal. If not, then it's still worth the risk.

 

[Lshap]

A gamble... but a smart one. If he keeps progressing, the Habs have key pieces locked up.

 

[Baksfamous112]

What a great contract for Montreal. This is one of those contracts that will end up being one of the best one in a couple of years.

 

[super6646]

Boom or bust deal. Decent gamble tho

Why? This kid’s gonna be an incredible player.

Yer a Slav, Kovsky

 

[habs_24x]

Not to mention with the tax situation in Quebec its more like 4.8 take home.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Has the potential to be a great deal. I’d love to have Raymond signed to this contract.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I know bridge contracts aren't thing anymore but ,, Really?

I mean it's probably going to work out but next 50 pt kid for Habs is going to point to this and say "Pay me"

 

[CapSpace]

We got Suzuki, Caufield and now Chad-kovsky long term, all under 8M/yr.

This is great.

 

[Brookbank]

uhh... this is the definition of a boom or bust deal. either it'll look like one of the worst deals in the league or one of the best. not much room for any inbetween.

This indeed. I thought they could get the aav down to the low 7's
