Cool he can join Stamkos in throwing huge amounts of money at each other!

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Great deal

 

[TMLegend]

Cheaper than I thought he would be.

Also, HF servers are about to crash.

 

[Dr Amazing]

The Jets can easily pay that oh well.

 

[wings95]

Wish the Wings would have gotten him at that price

 

[Quinning]

Jesus f***ing Christ

 

[jetsforever]

So they get everyone's franchise cornerstone?

 

[PriceIsGod]

This deal is going to have every fanbase jealous lol

 

[Fire Sweeney]

too many years

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

The Preds needed 2nd line scoring and they definitely have that now. The top two goalscorers in the free agent market this summer going there will do a job.

 

[hamzarocks]

Preds have a lot of youth

Kemmell, Svechkov, Tomasino, Wood, L'herueux, & Evangelista

surprised they continue to sign longer term UFAs

Stamkos, RoR, Forsberg, Marsh, Novak, take up 5 top 6 spots

 

[Pengu]

It is for 5 YEARS and he'll almost be 34 when the season starts. So he's almost be 40 when the deal is up.
It's a decent deal, but not s great as some make it up to be....

 

[cheesymc]

Damn you Preds... wanted him on the Ducks and this is a good contract. But can't blame him... lower cost of living and taxes, loud and fun city to play in, and they are still a playoff team.

 

[Extra Texture]

Damn, if you had thought a few years ago that Duchene, RyJo and Ekholm would be gone, and that ROR, Stamkos and Marchessault would be Preds, it would've seemed like a massive longshot. Not sure if they can continue the trend of a massive retool while remaining competitive, but its pretty cool from a complete team remodeling-perspective.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Big Dick Trotz over here like...

 

[ChanceVegas]

Absolutely gutted by this one. Congrats Preds, you guys got a good one!

 

[TGWL]

He'll be 34 2 months into the season. I guess teams aren't scared of players nearing mid 30's anymore. He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down so hopefully he can be consistently productive for years to come with Nashville.

 

[Soundgarden]

Wow, we definitely are going for it with these signings.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

Vegas is about to go big game hunting to replace him

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Evangelista - Stamkos - Marchessault
Forsberg - O'Reilly - Nyquist

This is by far the best top 6 Nashville has had since 2015.

Vegas is about to go big game hunting to replace him

The writing was on the wall when they traded for Hertl. I'm sure they knew someone would give him 5 or more years if he hit the market and decided to replace him via trade rather than overpaying in free agency.

 

[TheNumber4]

Seems cheap. But considering age and term, probably close to bang on.

I'm glad he's off the Knights. I'd rather face Hertl than Marchessault. Hertl is overrated.

 

[Maple Leaf]

ville looking pretty good right about now

 

[Connor McConnor]

Makes up for their other overpayments
