Can make a good living being a willing soldier in the NHL.

 

[LMFAO]

He must really like Nashville because he could have easily get 3 years and over 5 Millions (Not per year, in total)

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

He probably just really like that the team philosophy is to hit everything that moves just like he does.
Hit them all, hit them all.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

He's been very good in Nashville ever since that one year that he basically missed the entire season. Good for him that he's still on that NHL bottom-pair grind!

 

[Armourboy]

Surprised its that low. He's played pretty well this season, seems like he sold himself a bit short but I'll take it.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good deal for the preds

Agreed

 

[CartographerNo611]

Awesome. One of the few throw back D who chucks them on the regular.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I'm guessing he just wants stability, and good on him for getting it.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Glad to see this. He's had a solid year and the bottom pairing has been noticeably less reliable when he's been out of the lineup. By all accounts a great guy in the locker room as well.

He missed a bunch of time because he needed to deal with some mental health issues. After that he's been like a new player. Obviously he has physical limitations and won't be more than a third pair guy, but he's at least a solid third pair guy now and not a borderline #7. I think that support he got from Poile and the Preds is another reason he chose to re-sign here rather than maximize his value on the open market.

My guess is that taxes have something to do with it. Not worth it to wait for a 1.5m offer from a high state tax team when he could just accept this now. Works out for the team and the player.

I mean I think he could have probably gotten 1.2 or so here, cap wouldn't be an issue especially if he is taking a 1 year term. Even with the tax break it just seems low.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Solid guy good to see him back and for cheap

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Would have taken him back on a re-do of his current 2x$2M contract, so it seems like a steal to get him for half the $$$ AND half the term.

The crime rate stays low for another year in Nashville.

 

[BonMorrison]

I stan leftist king Mark Borowiecki. Been great this year.

 

[SenzZen]

Love Borocop!

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

That's why I truly believe he is staying not for the money but because the team hits. Or maybe he's staying for the country music like Duchene. Could be either.

 

[JackieDaytona]

Good for BoroCop, seems like a good dude and a real warrior on the ice.

You must have him mixed up with someone else...

No

No

Good thing then that you're not a scout or a GM.
