Wow nice pickup for the sharks.

 

[Beauner]

Wow. Good deal.

 

[Red]

Very nice deal.

 

[MC Ride]

Only 4X4? Surprised that's all he got.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

Wow, must not have gotten the offers he was looking for. Not a bad AAV at all. He'll fit there pretty well. A little surprised.

 

[Pavelski2112]

I love Doug Wilson

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Never understood the love affair with this guy.

 

[PullHard]

I love Doug Wilson

 

[The Podium]

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

That's so solid it could be used to advertise Metamusil

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Great deal for San Jose.

C'mon Bergevin, 4x4 is easily doable if you had ditched DD

 

[93gilmour93]

Great deal for the Sharks. Well done

 

[Diamonddog01]

One of the best signings today.

 

[Street Hawk]

Never understood the love affair with this guy.

Given his age and term, it's a good signing. Not committing $6 million on a 6 year deal to a 30 year old. This deal ends when he turns 30.

 

[Nalens Oga]

Never understood the love affair with this guy.

He's fast, he's a good playmaker, he has a good shot, he contributes to offense regardless of advanced stats, he was excellent on his stint with Colorado, and his numbers will be higher compared to Arizona/Tippet playing beside Thornton or Couture. He's the perfect 2nd liner for that price, can potentially put up 60 points, and this is a perfect contract for him in both term and money.

People will say he's soft or whatever but not like they need him killing penalties, he's played well his whole career in the west.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Not his biggest fan at all, but it's a fine deal.

 

[Nice]

Nice.

 

[donghabs98]

One of if not the best signing of the day. Reasonable term and cap hit.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Wow, I wanted him for the Canucks. 4x4 is a brilliant deal for the Sharks. He'll do well there.

 

[barmor]

Horrible 5-on-5 player

 

[XX]

Only 4X4? Surprised that's all he got.

Why? He's terrible. Arizona juiced his numbers by feeding him an absurd amount of icetime. He's a 3rd line winger, and not even a good one.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

DeBoer coached him in Jr

 

[Jacob]

Amazingly cheap.

 

[rt]

He's excruciatingly inconsistent and should ONLY be relied on for secondary scoring in a supporting offense role. His contract pretty well matches that.

I expected to see some team drastically overpay, and then I figured I'd be in that thread explaining how he's overrated, inconsistent, and soft as butter.

But, this isn't much of an overpay, at all really. It's pretty much about what he's worth, but with a little UFA bump.

Would I take him back on the Coyotes for 4x4? Mmmm...hard to say. Switch either one of those 4s to a 3, and I'd say definitely yes.
