2017 NHL Offseason Thread - Phil Kessel Signed a Baby

[bori]

On PIT getting closer to contract with Justin Schultz, note he had very good arb case. On that basis, won't be surprised if his AAV is $5M+.

[Sepukku]

Leafs have also apparently signed Dominic Moore to a 1 year/1M deal, who I also know nothing about.

His wife died.... you'll probably hear about that so much by November that you'll despise him being on the team

Emelin and subban are back together !!!

*Bluefan wakes up from his coma*
"So what did Winnipeg to do to prepare for 2018"
*Reads that Kulikov was signed for 3 yrs at 4.3m AAV and promptly goes back into his coma*

Thornton back to the sharks for one year 6.5 million

[Sepukku]

Apparently reaves isn't viewed as an enforcer by management either as pens resign Tom sestito

[Ratatapa]

Price just signed for 8 years

[Ratatapa]

10.5 per year

[DFJS]

Thought that was a joke at first but was proven wrong. Yes he is a good goalie but that's way too much money to spend when your hurting for goal scoring. Makes him the highest paid goalie by a long shot right?

[Brill Weave]

10.5 million tied up in one goalie. Wow.

[NynJa]

13.8% of the cap. And its not "one goalie", its "the goalie".

[Ratatapa]

Lots of insurances on those legs !

Highest paid by 2M, I think Lundqvist is the next closest.

[NynJa]

At age 32, Lundqvist signed a 7 yr deal with an inital cap hit of 13.2%. His previous contract ate 13.6%

At age 29, Price signs an 8 yr deal with an initial cap hit of 13.8%. His previous contract ate 10.83%

Its not crippling, especially considering weve seen the Habs with Price and the Habs without Price (2016)...granted that was also with the greatest coach in the history of coaching across all sports.

Marleau signed 3 years with the leafs

Toronto is really gonna do well next year

Didn't realize they also signed D.Moore too. Good 4th line veteran presence.
