Confirmed by Larry





The Stamkos contract, which makes it pretty stomachable imo. I’m sure the trade protection will suck but that’s the way she goes in this league.

[Crease]

Wow. Quietly done.

 

[LOFIN]

Not at all unhappy about that one. Can't afford to lose him and for that AAV it isn't awful.

 

[NYRKING30]

8th year for a lower cap hit? Sign me up

 

[17futurecap]

Less than 9, that’s good! Last two years will be on IR, don’t worry about it.

 

[will1066]

Not thrilled about the term, but not many alternatives.

 

[Blais to Win]

!!

 

[Richard Banger]

8.5 is fantastic! I would of liked it at 6 or 7 years but the AAV is perfect. Thank you Zib for taking a discount!

 

[Kords]

Need to see the movement clauses, but this seems pretty fair at a glance.

Or buyout

 

[MysticLeviathan]

8 years is really bad. AAV isn’t bad. Praying for some kind of NTC the last couple years, but doubt it.

 

[RGY]

Its all about the NMC. If there is a none or a very limited one then that is a really good deal. You pray salary cap goes up over time

 

[Richard Banger]

Very excited to have Zib part of the core for good. Maybe the brass has a lot more faith in Chytil. No trade for Jacky boy.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Fair deal for both sides. I guess like Drury, I was hoping for a year or two less and maybe half a million less, but I'm not mad about it. I just wish we could escape Kreider and Trouba's deals.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

8.5 is good! The back years of that will be LTIR.

 

[LOFIN]

And no SN, TSN or other insiders had any taps on this...

 

[RangerBoy]

$500,000 more AAV than Couturier. Cost of living in Manhattan is higher.

I think this is pretty fair.

What do you think RB?

 

[Richard Banger]

$500,000 more AAV than Couturier. Cost of living in Manhattan is higher.

Yeah that should cover at least one months rent

 

[RangerBoy]

And no SN, TSN or other insiders had any taps on this...

Nobody had anything. Brooks said the Rangers and Mika'a brother don't leak any Information.

$500,000 more AAV than Couturier. Cost of living in Manhattan is higher.

By my math, 500,000 more than 8 mil Mayfield.

 

[nyr2k2]

It's 100% a fair deal. Glad we don't have to worry about it any longer.

 

[NYRKING30]

Nobody had anything. Brooks said the Rangers and Mika'a brother don't leak any Information.

As the way it should be.

 

[RangerBoy]

Yeah that should cover at least one months rent

Actually there are some really good deals in the real estate market with Covid.

 

[Miamipuck]

That's a fair deal for both sides. It could have been a lot worse had they waited.
