Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYI] Andrew Ladd (7 years, $5.500M AAV)

[DingDongCharlie]

These signings are brutal

 

[Deen]

Term is just awful.

 

[boredmale]

Money is fine. Term is outrageous.

A 5 year deal probably gets the AAV in the 6+ range

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

So the Isles need an impact winger who can keep up and complement the skill of Tavares... and they choose Ladd. Okay.

I'm not sure that hanging onto Hamonic rather than moving him for Hall was the smartest choice.

 

[Yitz]

I like Ladd a lot but this is a horrible contract for the Isles.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Last year's FA Frenzy saw market value deals. Now, the terms are already nuts this summer. Oh well.

The last few years of that contract will be ugly.

 

[skiba77777]

i don't really think it's that bad

 

[buttman*]

When does the regret start? 3 years? 4?

 

[DEVILS130]

Brutal

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

He's a better fit than Okposo. This is a good move.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

That's an ugly contract

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Not happy with the term but happy with the money. Also happy that we finally have a LW for JT. Took a long time but finally talent on the left side other than that short stint with Vanek.

 

[SensBrawler]

Seven years? Wow.

 

[MardyBum]

Yikes.

 

[Brewsky]

Tavares gets the sandpaper he needs. Okposo too inconsistent.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Was a big fan of Ladd in Winnipeg and wish him all the best.
But 7x5.5 you must be crazy, Garth.

 

[skiba77777]

Awful. Playoff no-show too. Such a shame.

that huge 7 game sample size

 

[GoJetsGo55]

WOW! This should put to rest any BS ribbing we got for letting him walk. That's WAY too long.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Money fine, term turrible. I like Ladd more than most, too

 

[Thorton02]

Super long contract and I think Ladd will not age well.

That being said, this is exactly what NYI's need. Ladd is a warrior and has a ton of playoff experience. He still has 3 or 4 good years left. Islanders fans should be happy. It's time for them to start do some damage in the playoffs now.

 

[KingWantsCup]

Terrible term. AAV does not balance it out. Bad contract.

 

[MosTLucky]

Yikes

 

[majormet]

I know we are not an easy sell as a team but 7 years for Ladd, Andrew Ladd in 2023 will not be on the ice scoring 10 goals, he will be [MOD] and collecting checks

 

[QuadDeuces]

I'm okay with this signing, but we need more than Ladd with KO, Franzie, and Martin all leaving.

 

[PWJunior]

Money fine, term turrible. I like Ladd more than most, too

Completely agree. Very happy with the AAV, the term not so much.
