Confirmed with Link: Rem Pitlick signed 2 years 1.1 Million AAV per Cap Friendly

[Natey]

Weird that no team in the league topped that offer. Maybe he really wanted to stay here...

Like we've witnessed. Cap space is gold right now.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Understatement!!
Way to go HuGo!!

Pitlick likely wanted to stay and might have gotten $2M offers from others. Or I wonder if he got an offer at all?

Good singing regardless. Wingers got more cluttered again

 

[chaosrevolver]

1.1M a year for 2 years is actually really really good value.

 

[Ezpz]

Awesome news! Really happy this got done. Really loved his play last year.

I'm surprised he didn't bet on himself with a 1 year deal though.

He's been a free agent for four days, I'm sure the offers weren't what he was expecting.

 

[1909]

WOW. Very surprised by the signing and the $$$.

If they keep everyone they got now, he is going to play 4th line with Evans and Armia.

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

Hughes has the same mindset.

Let's just trick a team into thinking Gallagher's still got 5 years left in the tank at his ridiculous cap hit. Please?

 

[morhilane]

Good deal. I was expecting more $ per year.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

 

[zx81]

Great news. Great terms too.

 

[ReHabs]

Is it 2.1 or 1.1?

 

[red devil]

Is it 2.1 or 1.1?

1.1 per year

 

[ReHabs]

Rem is pretty quick and mobile isn’t he?

He’s literally our Byron replacement. And not a moment too soon as the original Byron is not long for the NHL.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Real happy about this ! He's young enough to be a part of the rebuild and he can fit in pretty much any line and any role next season. His work on the PK alone is worth the salary.

 

[HostileCapSpace]

If the Petry deals allowed this, at least that's positive. Still dislike the extra year on the cap that Matheson brings.

 

[KevSkillz4]

I really like Pitlick. Perfect player to have on a rebuild, he will help young players. He have great skillset and great attitude.

Perfect top 9 player.

 

[Captain97]

That was meant in a good way, I suspect, as Byron was completely serviceable prior to signing an overly expensive contract after injuries began to accumulate.

Correct I went and added an edited note. It really could be interpreted 2 ways

 

[Tyson]

Who cares. Poehling is younger with a higher ceiling, 6’2 200lbs.

Poehling will never score 37 points in a season...

I'm so used to people shitting on him that I just assumed the worst.

He may never score 30 points.

 

[GordonGraham]

Very good deal for the team i cant undertstand why he was willing to take that for 2 years, at 1.1M he should have bet on himself and take a 1 year deal

 

[HuGort]

Glad he's back. He was decent player

 

[1909]

Glad he's back. He was decent player

He started great but finished rather badly.

I think Hughes wanted a two year deal and Rem showed loyalty to the team that gave him his first real chance.

 

[1909]

I really like Pitlick. Perfect player to have on a rebuild, he will help young players. He have great skillset and great attitude.

Perfect top 9 player.

No place on the top 9 for him right now. I expect him to play 4th line with Evans and Armia. Pezzetta will be forward 13.

Not really, he and Poehling were both versatile last season.
