2 years at $725k/$750k. Ned is actually getting paid less than his ELC. Canes hivemind is not ****ing around. I assumed Ned would at least get a little bump up to $1 million after the Calder Cup and AHL goalie of the year award.
Now let's see that Darling buyout.
This contract will pay out quite a bit more than his ELC did, actually.
Well at least we have 2 goalies now. Baby steps.
I’m buying into the ‘announce it at summer fest to tremendous applause’ theory myself.I am very happy for Ned. This means Darling is bought out this weekend right?
But will there be 2020-21?
Not *every*, only those who got the leverage for it, and even they as a rule got a noticeable dip in overall salary for both 2020-21 and 2022-23.Not to get off-topic, but if there's a lockout, it's at least going to be very expensive for owners, the way *every* player is structuring their contracts the past two summers.
He could win it outright or he could also be sent back to Charlotte before preseason ends. His style of goaltending is pretty unpredictable, a lot like Mrazek, except he doesn't have the size and Mrazek isn't exactly huge himself. He'll have to play extremely well to win the starters job outright.I really want Ned to win the starting job outright. I don't see a good reason why he couldn't. He's composed, he has big-game experience and we've seen him play well in an NHL game.
Not saying he'll come in and be a .920 goalie right off the bat. But I can't be the only one tired of the "goalie question" every offseason. We need to get some long-term stability there.
