After all this squabbling, they didn't even meet halfway in their demands. Wasn't 3.2 mill confirmed to be the offer like a week ago? He lost a week of camp for essentially nothing it seems. I just can't believe how long this staring contest took to end, all for Stepan to give in anyway.

I believe the reported number was $2.9M, and that the Rangers would probably be willing to go to ~$3.2M. Is the holdout what pushed them to hit their absolute max of $3.2M? If so, good deal on Stepan's end, as he just gained an additional $600k (basically a 10% boost).

We may never know exactly how it worked out, but it ends like this--Stepan gets (I believe) the second largest bridge contract out there.
 
It's over and doesn't matter now, just go out and have a good season and take that #1 center spot legit like

Duchene (3.5) and Giroux (3.75) each have 1 year left on their bridge deals, though Giroux's was 3 years rather than 2.
 
Wait is this going to be another Dubinsky situation where fans trash a player for everything because of a training camp holdout?

I hope not.


It's funny that the people that want to fire sather seem to always take Sather side.
 
very relieved this got done in time. Now work your ass off, establish yourself as this teams #1 center and get the big payday in 2 years.
 
Finally. Glad this is over. No harm done really, so long as he doesn't look lost to start the season. I hope AV reunites the Hag - Step - Nash line again when everyone is back.
