Fair, just under the QO. See what you have. I wouldn't commit any more with his injuries.

 

[UnSandvich]

At least it's not expensive

 

[McRanger92]

Drury getting down to business already with these Krav & Blais deals, I like it. Both guys will help the depth next year and give us a different look. Below the expected cap hit on both, which is nice.

 

[Crease]

I like this move.

 

[Joe Ranger Fan 1960]

Great. Now let's see him beat up Subban. I need something to get back in the mood.

 

[Vitto79]

Great lower than I thought

 

[AirGut]

solid and expected signing. Excited to see what he can bring next season

 

[Boris Zubov]

It's really all he deserved. Fair for both parties.

Blais gets to prove himself, the team hopefully gets to see what they have in the player.

 

[17futurecap]

Feel like he’s gone after next season, either he’s hurt again, and they say see yea or they can’t afford him as a UFA next summer coming off a good bottom six season.

 

[mike14]

Good to see. Hopefully he can stay healthy and prove himself

Why wouldn't we be able to afford a physical 4th liner lol
I don't get this idea that he has all this untapped offensive potential, he's a 26yo with a career high of 15pts. I feel like it's some sort of "cope" to justify the Buch trade by pretending he has this untapped potential waiting to come out.

Good. Kakko at 2 years, $4 mill total next

Someone is about to give Tyler Motte over two million a year as a UFA. If he has a solid season and a solid playoff, he gone.

15 points in 36 games. That’s like saying Mika’s career high is only 81 points when he put up 41 goals and 75 points in 15 games 2 seasons ago

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

UFA. Oof-a.

34pt pace
Still not very impressive, and he is very injury prone too. Never played more than 40 games in a season

 

[mas0764]

Actually higher than I thought, I was thinking $1.4m.

 

[The New Russian Five]

Agreed. He had some nice hands on him from the few games we were able to watch of him, but nothing screams top 6 winger. He's pretty solidly a bottom 6 guy, until he proves otherwise, which is unlikely to happen.

 

[RangerBoy]

$75,000 less than his QO

 

[NYR Viper]

I was honestly hoping for a 2 year deal to lock him in a bit but it’s a good deals for both sides. Hopefully he starts the season well and Drury finds a way to re-sign him to a nice medium term deal. Even if he tops out as a physical 30 point winger, that’s a valuable commodity in todays NHL

 

[Priorae]

The future is really bright. Sign Copp, let stroke walk and move forward.

The biggest moves this off-season will be the growth of the guys we already have on the roster. We have a solid window.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

why not another year?

 

[ajdj10]

why not another year?

Because we're trading him and a 3rd for Buch.
