But...again I'll just leave this here I don't know why you think that. That is an amazing deal for Tampa Bay. He's going to be one of the best defence man in the league for the duration of this contract, and has already proven he is amongst the games elite.

Blueberries Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 God damn. Was hoping he would come here since he's a big fan of the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS a lot of money for a long time. And it IS a good thing he's young. As per my link, I think it's a valid discussion. Over term contracts and some over priced signings only lend weight to it.

Aircool Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 3 minutes ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: Haha -Vintage Canuck- is faster than TSN notifications on my phone LOL..... amazing. Anyways this makes Ekblad's extension look so suspect..... I mean way more experienced defenseman, who has proven way more in the NHL.... To have a cap hit that is 375k more than Ekblad.... And then the Seth Jones cap hit? Jesus..... It'll work out for Florida, but way to overpay a guy who has 2 years in the NHL.... I mean with that amount of service time if you want 8 years, the number should have been 6.0 or lower I'd have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Amazing deal for the Lightning. THis is a true 1D and one of the best ones in the NHL. Very young and signed at a great number thru the prime of his career. If he hit the UFA he would have gotten more than Stamkos would have gotten on the UFA market. What a great deal. He left a lot of money on the table. Kucherov is very important to sign, he's a better player than Stamkos but still RFA so he won't cost nearly as much.

As per my link, I think it's a valid discussion. Over term contracts and some over priced signings only lend weight to it. Whether or not it is a lot of money is subjective. 7.8M a year is a lot of money for me. 7.8M for arguably the best young defence man in the game when players like Lucic are making 6M a year is not. As per the link, as the league makes more money (via record TV deals) it only makes sense that players will begin to earn more. At least it's not the NBA where average starters can rake in 20M a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
