That seems like a really good home town discount. Nice work Trotz!

 

[jumb0]

Good deal

 

[Enoch]

Well freaking done

 

[Predation]

So glad we locked this up. I would have been pissed if we lost this guy. I really love what Novak brings to this team.

 

[101st_fan]

He got the bridge deal. If he continues at a similar pace to that since called up in Dec 22, this is a steal. If he regresses some, not that bad. If he goes off the rails, it isn't one with a lot of term.

 

[Armourboy]

He either really wanted to stay here or he needs a new agent. That said I'll take it.

It's his first contract that wasn't league minimum. It's still guaranteed life changing money. And if he doesn't sign it and he blows his Achilles next week he's never gonna make that kind of money.
Good job all around.

Bird in the hand so to speak.

 

[preds1]

Really glad this got done. Solid deal too.

 

[glenngineer]

Not the 4 x 4 I thought he'd get. I'm happy he's sticking around.

Hard to find anything to be mad at

There's always a group that can find something.

That seems like a really good home town discount. Nice work Trotz!

Comparing stats to contracts from last year, I honestly thought 4.25 range

 

[Tiger Svoboda]

What type of upside do you think he has?
70 pts?

70 pts?

I mean if he progresses a bit more , which he should, and stays healthy, absolutely.

Especially if you keep him at center and give him proper wingers

 

[AintLifeGrand]

Carter Verhaege level production....I wouldn't rule out pt per game in the right situation

 

[sparkle twin]

I was also thinking he would get 4x4, so this is great!

I'm happy the Tommy Gun will be here for a few more years!

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Whew...busy day yesterday. Finally catching up.

Excellent deal. He'd definitely would have gotten more in the offseason.
