I’ve liked him as a 4th liner this year. It’s all he’ll ever be, but it’s a good fit.

A side note... I hate the term “extend” in regards to NHL contracts. Nobody ever extends. It’s a brand new contract with different terms. /rant

 

[JohnC]

Makes sense with the new hole at 2C

 

[eco's bones]

He's a 4th liner but I like Boo. Good deal.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

I like this. And I like him. I know there are a lot of jokes about him, but I believe there is some upside and he can be a very useful player.

Could become our 2C. Ceilings. Popcorn ceilings.

 

[Leonardo87]

Meh, but it's a good cap hit, and he's a decent 4C.

 

[Bob Richards]

Synergize me up, motherf***er

sorry, but i think you are imposing your own terminology (i do that too sometimes)
and it s not worth hating

i understand the literal semantics of your view

but is pretty much common, understood usage to call it "extending"
when a player, while still under contract, re-signs with the team,

and btw i am glad Aaron Hicks extended w NYY today too

Yes, true. As a one-way contract, no more piddling minor league salary if he is demoted. Still makin' that money in Hfd.

 

[Off Sides]

I think this is good.

If we did not know him, and he was traded as a tertiary piece, somehow I feel as if this would be seen as at least more exciting.

 

[Polar Bear]

We need bodies, and at only 700k, Nieves is a solid 4th liner.

Yeah, and the 2013 CBA calls it that too, but I think the 2005 one did not.

It's a pet peeve, because to me an extension would apply to continuing the terms of the current contract... in other words, a renegotiation of the current deal, which is prohibited. I'm not saying it's rational.

 

[Thirty One]

Guess they're keeping Kreider.

 

[haveandare]

I'd rather have a homegrown 4c than overpay one who already played their best years somewhere else. Not a huge deal but I like it.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I wouldn't have minded a higher cap hit for a year or two more. He's a useful player and I think can be a really solid 4th line center for a few years.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Glad it's only a year. He'll be replaced eventually.

 

[nyr2k2]

Boo, my other son, love this, too!

 

[RangerLifer]

Okay. Now....what about Kreider?

 

[True Blue]

Could become our 2C. Ceilings. Popcorn ceilings.

His synergies with Krieder can now be on full display.

 

[Machinehead]

Gotta keep giving Zibanejad that competition.

Gotta keep giving Zibanejad that competition.

Competition? He is pushing Zbad to wing. Haven't you heard?
