2 days before he becomes FA is wierd. Either they have something lined up or they are worried about other teams

 

[DopeyFish]

guess we're signing him to an 8 year to save cap?

 

[notbias]

I am excited to see an overpayment in term and AAV for a man made of glass.

I hope they play this smart.

 

[Rare Jewel]

I can hardly contain myself.

Did not see that one coming.

 

[The Podium]

Sign this iron man until he’s 42!

 

[Gallagbi]

...but why?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Seems like a waste of a 7th

 

[JEI]

Max Ellis was an RFA for those interested.

 

[SprDaVE]

The price is pretty whatever. I don't know why they needed to do this though with free agency 2 days away

Would imagine they want him signed so they know how much money it will require and what we have left come Monday.
Maaybe Domi and Bert signed tomorrow

 

[CapspaceKiller]

LOL, not confident you were going to sign him?

The contract better be good. Otherwise if you want to give out a bad contract, just do it on Monday and save the 7th

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Thanks, I hate it.

 

[LeafParade]

Why do they need his rights? The 8th year needed to close this deal

 

[hurdemz]

This isn't ideal. Signing a older defenceman than tj brodie and expecting him not to fall off a cliff?

AND giving him term I assume

Faith in the organization? Huh?!?

 

[Jacquestrapless]

it's gonna be $3.5m x 8 or sth ludicrous

 

[MarMarSab3]

8x32 with 25 million paid in first 4 years

This is not going to be good. I love the player though

 

[The Masters]

What else else we got Tre

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

The leagues worst kept secret.

Oh god ….. why?? He’s 34 FFS

 

[sxvnert]

Hope its low AAV spread out over 5-6 years. Then he visits Robadas Island to finish off his career.

 

[Apex Predator]

8 years by 3 million cap hit per season and will be on robidas island near the end.
