This is the exact deal I wanted them to do. Actually keeping it under 5 mil at 5 years is even better. As I’ve argued before…goalies his size who have any length of success in the league are always movable if he has to be moved. And they’ve got him signed until he’s 30 if he never gives up the job.

I can’t think of one reason to not like this deal. But I look forward to reading many of them.

I think everyone was hoping he comes in at under 5, I never thought it would be more than a year or two tho. Pretty solid deal, I wonder what the hold up was.

Fine with the deal. About the money that was expected. Will be easy to move in the last couple years if Levi becomes the goalie we all think he can.

That's about as good as a deal for both sides as one could expect. Good job Jakubowski!

I'm happy to 100% have my head up my arse and be wrong thinking UPL wouldn't be locked down. Good cap hit. Actually, great. Anybody who watches every game so something change in his command and net, including rebounds and breakaways. He only seemed to falter with extreme overuse in the second half. I think he can play 55-60 games.

Obviously, there is some risk. Every contract gets riskier the longer you go.

This contract really brings some faith in franchise and direction. For me.

Will fix everything
If there is no NTC/NMC involved, it’s fine. I think 5 is a little long on term, but it teams are seeming always willing to give goalies a second chance, so barring a major implosion this contract should be movable if things don’t work out.
