Ron Francis is acting like a GM who has to make the playoffs or he gets fired next spring.

7 x 6.25?????????????????????????? Thank god it wasn't us.

 

[chaser17]

He was gonna be a pred, until Stamkos became available.

I don't think you are far from the truth. Ownership has made it known that they want to win sooner than later. I doubt this is what he really wants to do.

 

[Puckstop40]

Wow that is horrible contract. Good on Chandler for getting paid though.

 

[Curufinwe]

Hayes 2.0, except Hayes was 27 when he was signed.

 

[ChanceVegas]

Writing was on the wall for a long time for this one. Chandler did not have a good contract year. I am pretty surprised he was able to land that contract.

Good luck to him in Seattle!

 

[NoelVilla]

Kraken need to fire Francis now or he set them back years they didn't even had to begin with.

 

[crowi]

That is a crazy contract. Good luck to Seattle...

 

[Malkinstheman]

Seattle f***ed up so bad hiring Francis. He is utterly f***ing up that team

 

[Some Other Flame]

Vegas taking a beating. They should totally trade for Huberdeau and Kadri now.

 

[Silky mitts]

I am happy for him but I don't know how this, the Edmundson deal, and the Lindholm deal work out

 

[kihei]

Way to much term for this guy.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Good God almighty

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

That'll have some pain at the end.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Yikes

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Boy I don't love that deal, but he's a good player to add to your team.

ew

 

[Kranix]

Bad deal for kraken.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Yeah, this contract is gonna age horribly in just a few years.

 

[Edmonton East]

With the C market being what it is, he was 100% getting at least 6 years $5aav. Yea, this is a material overpay, but Seattle doesn't care....per usual.

3rd line Cs that can play up the lineup if needed come at a premium. Good from the dot as well.

 

[Thallis]

Insane Number and term for Stephenson. Might be the worst contract of the day.

 

[Larry Hanson]

If I was a team owner I'd seriously consider taking away my GM's phone on July 1st.
