SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted August 10, 2018 That's a good signing. He is the future Captain and should be a perennial 70+ point player starting this upcoming season. $6sh million is the sweet spot for a 60sh point player, so he already fits that criteria with room for growth. 4 13dangledangle, krsmith17, F.Michael and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Not team friendly At all. Thanks for the memories Zetterberg. Nearly exact cap hit as Z, so obvious he is done. If not, then Rasmussen returns to play with 17 tear olds and Zadina wastes his time in the AHL. I am glad he is locked in, but I'd of rather seen 6 years $30M, instead of 5 years $30M Edited August 10, 2018 by LeftWinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AtlantaHotWings 988 Report post Posted August 10, 2018 So when he is 28 he will command a hefty price tag if he delivers for the next 5 good idea on his part. Still could get an 8 year Super Payday deal and finish his career here. Sure hope the cap keeps going up cause we might need it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted August 10, 2018 If he stays on pace that deal is almost a bargain. Very happy with term and salary. 4 TheXym, Jersey Wing, krsmith17 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jersey Wing 1,521 Report post Posted August 10, 2018 He's obviously the franchise player going forward and they have committed to him. Franchise players gots to get paid. Hopefully he delivers on this contract and will get richer later for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted August 10, 2018 Cap hit is great. I would have liked longer term, but we knew he was going to get in the 5-6 year range. Great deal. 2 solarion and kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only you could be upset by this deal Did I say I was upset with It? It's just not team friendly. But it is Z's salary, which, in order to have Rasmussen up, will have to come from LTIR. Franzen's is all but used up with this contract. If the plan is to keep Rasmussen in the teenage league and Zadina in the AHL, then Ken Holland blew smoke up all your asses because instead of having 2-5 new kids in the lineup, there will be ZERO. Not even on D. So what page of the Holland Guide to GM'ing is this on? Lying to all the fans and signing players we don't need. UNLESS Z is done, then there will be room for 2 new kids. But if Z plays, then no new kids. We have ZERO cap space, 13 Fwds, 6 D. No room for any new kids. Team friendly is 6 years $5M, it's still $30M, but allows for more cap flexibility. Trust me, I am glad he is signed, and sure, it's a good term, but it would be better if it was the same money, less cap hit.

It's still $6M, but allows for more cap flexibility. Athansiou's deal is not team friendly. Zetterberg has nothing to do with Larkin's contract, and Larkin's contract has nothing to do with Zetterberg. You're ranting about Holland lying about how many prospects will make the team, because Holland inked a contract with Larkin (a roster player) that we've been expecting for months?

Look at other center putting up 60 points or less, making 7, 8, or even 10.5 million (Toews) for less than 60 points. Stastny made 7 million last year for 60 points. Getzlaf made 8.5. He's not robbing the bank here, he has the potential to go up to a ppg, and if he does we have him for a bargain. 2 solarion and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
