Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 2 years to prove himself at a decent cap it. I like it. After 2 years some other guys should be ready and if he isn't cutting send him packing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 The defense is going to be wide open in 2-3 years. A lot of flexibility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,949 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 Yikes, was hoping it would be sub $1M, but that's how it is I guess. Sure wish we had a GM that would trim some cap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 Happy with this deal. He got less than Marchenko got a couple years ago(1.45) which, like I said in the thread guessing at these deals, was a close parallel for their situations. 2 kliq and LeftWinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,949 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 Ya, I'm not saying it's not a nice deal, I was just hoping for $1M or less. Kind of like Jensen. I just hope we can get AA and Tatar signed for what's left... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 He does have upside potential. I'm fine with this one, especially the length is great. Me likey not complaining for once. Almost forgot how it felt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BinMucker94 302 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 Solid deal. I like XO. He's pretty steady and plays a simple game, plays with a bit of an edge, and chooses the right moment to join the rush a jump into the play. Has the tools to become a solid 2nd pair guy if his skating doesn't hold him back. 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 Holland proves once again that he's still great at one thing, re-signing his RFA's to reasonable contracts. Now if he could just prove he's capable of more than that with a big trade to help out Ouellet and company on the back end... 2 Wingnut1989 and kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kliq 3,755 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 Really like this contract! I was expecting him to get more then what Marcheko got, so anything less is a pleasant surprise. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
