Nice

Now announce Rasmus.

Now announce Rasmus.

I’ll choke myself out.

Interesting. Wasn’t expecting this.

Best case is its a Couturier level bargain in a couple years. Worst case is its market value.

 

[Chinatown88]

Now announce Rasmus.

Now announce Rasmus.

Nah that'll be the first move that happens next offseason, likely after it's announced that Giroux intends to test the open market.

That's cheap . If he waited till next year it would probably have cost us way more .

There’s also a pretty decent chance he doesn’t shoot close to 20% over an 82 game sample next year.

I like Joel a lot and the number’s not outrageous, but this feels like buying at the peak.

I had to check because I'm naive and have faith in humanity. By George the average fan is really dumb.

Second of his draft class to get an extension after Svech I think. Close contract comparable seem to be Colin White, Alex Tuch and Drouin. Really weird one to find a comparison for, Joel seems like the best value of the bunch.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

It's a bit of an overpayment honestly, only 1 good season under his belt and he gets the amac contract, hopefully it works out, I like farabee, but not this contract yet

Third if you include Kotkaniemi

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Another good contract.

Chuckles proving himself decidedly average. Some good moves, some bad.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I still havent decided what Farabee is, but I was expecting something in the 4s. Don't think I'm worried about this one. We'll see what the value is soon enough.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Only one remains.

 

[BiggE]

Great deal. If he gets significant pp time, he’s likely a 30 goal, 60+ point player. 5 million is a great deal for that type of production

 

[Cootsfanclub]

Third if you include Kotkaniemi

I mentioned him in the roster thread too!

 

[Audible Velvet]

Could be a good deal, but I have a sliver of skepticism. I think it’s the short track record.
Let’s hope he becomes a real value at this rate.

 

[BiggE]

Now announce Rasmus.

Um, how about NO

 

[kudymen]

Chuck Fletcher inevitably regressing to the mean too.

 

[ponder719]

OK, I'm comfortable saying that Chuck is, if nothing else, very good at locking up our homegrown guys to good deals.

FAs? Trades? He's not strong there. But extending our core guys, he does that well. GJ, Chuck.

I mean. I criticize Fletcher. But I don’t have an issue with this.
