Wow incredible contract. Lou strikes again.

 

[sebsisles]

Loveeeeeeee it

 

[hamzarocks]

Rielly should be getting this same deal with at max 6 million more.

8 years 56M should be his max, ideally get him at 8 years 52M

Great deal for the Islanders

One of the top D pairing in the league locked up for 8 years LETS f***ING GO

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Just under 50M x 8 years. Not bad at 6M - 6.25M per for a first pairing D man like Pulock. Senile Lou does it again.

GMOY 3 peat. Legendary offseason for old Lou.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Great deal

Lou you son of a gun… Pelech and Pulock locked in for the next 8 years at what, $12m AAV a year or so total?

 

[Joe Rogan]

Darnell Nurse makes 9.25 Lmao Oilers

Hot damn, that Isles 1st pair is a bargain and one of the best in the league.

This is the crazy part, you have a bonafide elite shut down pairing for 12M the next 7-8 years. This leaves money on the table when Dobson takes the step up to the next level. Isles are set up well on D for years to come. The backbone of the Isles is Pelech and Pulock. Ask Crosby in the playoffs. Not easy playing against these 2.

Holy shit Lou!!! What a f***ing contract!!! We have our top pair signed forever!!! Huge!!! Great AAV for Pulock!!!

 

[SI90]

How the f*** did Lou do this? These guys really love this group and have all left money on the table to stay together. Love it!!

 

[Peter Griffin]

That’s an absolute steal.

It is good now. At the same time the Isles are setting up to be New Jersey circa 2013 - 2020 in a few years with their cap situation.

I guess if Raty and Dobson add up that helps them out, but lots of money to players that are great right now, but not necessarily on the best aging curves.

Great deal for Isles. Lou is a miracle worker.

Pelech and Pulock for 8 years at $11.5. That’s their top pair and considered one of the best in the nhl. Unreal.

 

[Beacon Isles]

I keep hearing about “cap issues” but the Isles have a good amount of money coming off the books next season and seem to be managing just fine.

No one making more than $7m AAV at the moment and the 33+ guys all signed short term.

After this offseason it should be clear that “cap hell” is BS. Good GMs find a way to make it work with minimal damage. Masterful offseason from Lou.

 

[DOCHockeyGuy]

I’m old enough to remember folks saying Lou couldn’t build a good team in the salary cap era

what an incredible deal

 

[Diamonddog01]

Lou you son of a gun… Pelech and Pulock locked in for the next 8 years at what, $12m AAV a year or so total?

It's completely insane. So jealous.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Just further proof that Lou is an absolute dinosaur, stuck in a bygone era. He’s paying his players like it’s 2009!

 

[Breakers]

Damn that’s nice.

islanders seem like such a tight knit squad that wants to do this together.
