I'm good with that. Came at less AAV than I was expecting too.

 

[Dbrownss]

4 more years of Steener.


Dougie strikes again! Really makes you wonder what Lehtera put in his drink when they discussed his deal

 

[BlueDream]

That's a great contract.

I'm not sure I could have hoped for better. A repeat of his current deal (3 x $5.8M) would have been fine, but giving him the extra year at the same price seems like a no-brainer.

 

[Evocable Manager]

Steen has been improving each of the past 3 years. He can play in both a shutdown and offensive role, in any situation and is quite clearly a leader on the team.
I love it, love the term, the AAV, I love it all!

 

[izzy]

Really solid deal, awesome.

 

[RORbacon]

Fantastic news!

 

[Splatter]

I'm thrilled with this.

 

[PiggySmalls]

Great re-signing. Totally happy with the AAV.

 

[Mike Liut]

That's not bad at all. Hopefully Steener doesn't decline too quickly. His game doesn't seem like it will.

Alittle too high on the money imo but the term is fair. His style of play will age well.

 

[The Note]

Really happy about this. The cap hit decreasing with age is a nice plus as well.

 

[AVictoryDive]

Solid deal. Actually was thinking he would get a little over 6.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

 

[RORbacon]

Really happy about this. The cap hit decreasing with age is a nice plus as well.

Cap hit doesn't decrease. His salary decreases but the cap hit is 5.75 each year.

 

[Colt 55]

So he is going to retire a Blue. Army got something right this offseason

 

[The Note]

Cap hit doesn't decrease. His salary decreases but the cap hit is 5.75 each year.

Ah, that makes more sense. Still a fan of the deal.

 

[Brian39]

Love it. One more year than I would ideally want, but I don't have a huge issue with it. The AAV is completely fair and I'm not worried about a heavy decline from Steener. Fantastic news.

 

[RORbacon]

Ah, that makes more sense. Still a fan of the deal.

Very much so. Good deal for the blues and Steen. Army did well.

 

[SirPaste]

Very happy with this

 

[Alklha]

Good deal.

Telling that we were comfortable paying Steen $5.75m until he turns 37, and not have Backes at $6m for the same years. Or close to $6m according to Backes.

Well his last year we are only paying him $3.5 in actuall money so it's not that bad
