Me writing down all the names who called BT spoiled or ungrateful to crap on everytime he scores a GWG this season.

LETSSSSS EFFFFFINNNGGG GOOOO BOYSSS

FINALLY.

The extra overpay is worth it just so I dont have to read anymore 'he wants out of ottawa' and Brady for Lafeniere proposals on here.

We knew it was gonna be an overpay but this team is no where near the cap and this deal alone will help get the other american guys here signed like Norris, Sanderson, Pinto and Boucher.

Hell to the yes.

Brady wanting to stay here long term will not only guarantee our other Americans want to stay, but it'll go a long way in attracting UFAs to Ottawa as well.

 

[Xspyrit]

Can we start Norris now?

AMAZING!!! Now please rid this lineup of Scott Sabourin

Just this is worth like 1 M$

we’re a team

Indeed

 

[Beville]

Definitely an overpay; should’ve been no more then $8 a year but hey ho. Captain signed.

Huge news. My step dad who is a sens fan just lost his best friend today and is a huge tkachuk fan, going to watch the game today with him with our tkachuk jerseys that I bought, this made his day abit more manageable

 

[ThaShow]

LFG

 

[Samboni]

More than what I expected, but better than a bridge to UFA IMO.

 

[topshelf15]

in before a horde of leafs fans tell the sens that Brady is overpaid like Suzuki

Until he punches out Muzzin then scores a hat trick

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

Based on what other players have been paid recently, I'm fine with this.

I would be happier with 7mil. But I'm happy he's signed.

 

[OUT HOUSE]

Inject it into my veins

Terrible to hear. Glad this helped brighten your day a bit.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Too much money for a career high of 45 points.

Completely ignores games played as context.

Based on your comment, Suzuki is a career 41 point player then and he got almost $8M.

BOOM

 

[dumbdick]

I might be in the minority, but I'm just filled with a sense of dread over this signing.

 

[God Says No]

Yeah, not a fan of the AAV. I hope it doesn't come back to haunt us in the future when we're up against the cap!

Hell to the yes.

There's never any guarantees on player retention. This only guarantees Tkachuk is here for the next 7 years (assuming no trade).

But, it helps. And that's all you can hope for. If Brady really is the leader that he appears to be on this team, others will hopefully follow.

Lighten the f*** up.

 

[Sweatred]

Boom ! I thought we were done !

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I might be in the minority, but I'm just filled with a sense of dread over this signing.

Honestly I’m just glad we put up the money even if he does end up being overpaid by a little bit. Since bonus stuff is impossible for us.

It’s a point where we need to buck the trend of letting our good players go.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Can we start Norris now?

Paul is an upcoming UFA. Hopefully we can get something done.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Outstanding news, way to hold out Pierre and get the long term deal, and not short.
No signing bonuses.
Brady must have told his uncle, brother and Dad, screw it, I want to play.

I'd say it does guarantee guys like Norris and Sanderson will stay.

 

[Silencio]

So Matthew was telling the truth in his interview:

-They weren't too close to a deal at the time
-Brady was going to hold out til he got the deal he wanted
-Brady loves Ottawa

That man better be walking out with a C on his jersey tn even if he isnt in the lineup.
