Would of gave him 5 years max at 4.5 million. He's barely a top 6 forward now imagine in 3-4 years.
We're in win now mode. This is going to give us room to make more moves. He turned down 6x6 earlier in the year, so he took a discount.

Or maybe his value went down? And do you mean make more moves like signing guys like Okposo and Nielsen?

Probably the worst deal so far. 7M for 30 yr old Ladd who showed some signs of slowing down ? Horrible.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
Wouldn't even sign in Winnipeg for six years at six million, but the deal is very equivalent.
Whatever, we hardly knew ya. This deal is bad, we were better off giving it to Scheifele anyway.
Can't wait to hear all the Ladd proposals in the next couple've years and keep hearing that he's a buyout candidate for the Islanders.

Nielsen gone too. NYI have plenty of good young guys on the way, though. And while I think the contract will be a boat anchor by the time he's 35, for the time being adding Ladd to an emerging young team is a good move.
But that's alot of lost production (Okposo/Nielsen)

This is a bad signing...that term and money...unless the Islanders are desperate to make the floor...
I'd just have kept Kyle Okposo.

Terrible term but we've needed a guy like this for a while. Hopefully we are done with signings though. Otherwise we'll repeat this process in a few years, except instead of KO/Frans/Martin it will be Hamonic/de Haan/Lee/etc.
Term is just awful.
Like Ladd - hope it works out for him and the Islanders - but right now this is looking like a bad move. I think for first 3 or 4 years though it could be very worth it as some Islanders fans have noted they need a guy like Ladd on Tavares line.
All the best Ladd.

Yup, term is too much but the cap hit is actually lower than I expected it to be. I like Ladd but have serious doubts about him still being an effective player towards the end of this deal.

Stay safe!
He won't make it to year 6, the Isles will probably try to unload him or have to buy him out. The same thing with Boychuk.
It's the price of doing business in UFA, it's a win now move.

Hope for the Isles fans sake that Ladd looks better there than he did in Chicago.
Just not sure why this contract would be considered "better" than signing their own guy in either Okposo or Nielsen?
