Confirmed Signing with Link: [WPG] Jets re-sign Mark Scheifele - (8 years, $6.125M AAV)

[Tripod]

He has one of the best wrist shots in the league.

 

[CanadienShark]

Nice solid deal. Lot of good deals for young budding players lately. I think Galchenyuk has his comparisons now, which means Bergevin will play hardball and Chucky will be gone in a year or two.

This is crazy

Check back in a year, you'll see why a long term deal was the better option.

i'd pick Landeskog and Couturier over Scheifele and i'd suppose the difference there is probably how we view value in a player, but he's my #3. I still have faith in RNH but he's behind the pack for now.



theres still a chance that scheifele takes it to another level in winnipeg and outclasses a few other draft mates. i do believe hes capable of that, but imo the other players i mentioned are just more likely to find that growth.

I wouldn't trade Scheifele for two Couturier

was just listening to TSN 1290 and they tossed out this juicy stat. after the allstar break Sheifele had the 3rd morst points only behind Crosby and Thorton. First half he was playing on the second line until Little got injured.

Here's a better one, he led the entire league in points after Bryan Little went down over the last 25 games of the Jets season (Feb 19th onward).

Very good player, heart soul guy....GREAT CONTRACT! Love the AAV and term!

wow touche, except the jets are obviously crazy for not taking Couturier

Oates

Not a steal yet. If he continues his progression it will be one. Fair deal right now. Surprised we got 8 years though.

His game has really progressed since he started working with Adam Oates. His production was 3rd overall in the league after the Allstar Break and being put on the 1st line.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Scheifele is the kind of player that players, coaches, fans and the city welcome. This is the guy you invest in and they did. No regrets.

 

[Sarge58]

Two very solid signings today by the Jets (Scheifele & Perreault) as a Wild fan It's quite irritating.

 

[Olympus Mons]

Good contract for a solid player. Definitely the kind of player you want to lock up for awhile.

 

[93LEAFS]

Posted this in the other thread but thought it was funny how everyone called him a huge reach when the Jets took him over Couts and Hamilton.

And now he's the best player taken in that entire first round.

I don't think he has definitively passed RNH or Landeskog yet. And, well, Adam Larsson is somehow worth Taylor Hall, and Dougie Hamilton has had flashes of being a legit top pairing player.

Edit: I also wonder what these means for Trouba and his demands

 

[SLAYER]

Love the deal, going to be a treat getting to watch Chef for the next 8 years.

He has absolutely passed RNH.

And Larsson wasn't worth Hall in a vacuum. For instance the idea of the Habs trading Pacioretty for Larsson would've been pretty laughable just a few weeks ago.

 

[SLAYER]

Mark is the kind of player that you can be comfortable with signing a max deal. His worth ethic is second to none, and he has improved greatly each season over his first three years. Kid is a beauty, I can't wait for the World Cup and the season to start.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Nice solid deal. Lot of good deals for young budding players lately. I think Galchenyuk has his comparisons now, which means Bergevin will play hardball and Chucky will be gone in a year or two.

At the term and AAV McKinnon and Scheifele signed today, MB will not play hardball at all. He is locking Galchenyuk up.

Great deal for Jets. I'm sure they will not end up regretting this one the way Sabres regretted forgoing the bridge deal with Tyler Myers (coincidentally with Scheifele in Winnipeg now).

 

[Le Golie]

i'd pick Landeskog and Couturier over Scheifele and i'd suppose the difference there is probably how we view value in a player, but he's my #3. I still have faith in RNH but he's behind the pack for now.

With all due respect, it isn't possible for someone with eyeballs to watch Scheifele and Couturier play hockey and have the opinion that Couturier is the better player. They are in different classes altogether.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

seems like a solid deal for both parties involved. Buys up a few UFA years and his prime. Scheifele is legit.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Some more of this one
Now sign the next one

 

[aqsw]

Good player but gets his feelings hurt far too often by opposing players

That will change when he's playing with Laine and Connor. It will be the opposing players whining.

 

[aqsw]

He has one good season and one great season. Along with a solid rookie year.

And if they really watched the Jets and Mark, they would know how snake bit he was his second yesr.
Seems lie he averaged 2 th 3 posts a game. One game they said he hit 6 posts.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Scheifele is coming around to being one of my favourite players in the league. His trajectory is finally looking up, really high up.

 

[kylbaz]

He can potentially be top ten in scoring this year. You've never watched him play if you think this is a bad contact.
