Definitely thread worthy. This kid was progressing as the season went along, he should easily get 40 points.

 

[Taranis]

I agree as long as he plays on the top nine as a RW he will be a great player for us. Good signing.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Honestly, pretty happy with this. I like that its 2 years.

 

[Mr Lebowski]

I predicted 2 years 1.5 AAV.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Awesome! Congrats Joe, you earned this!!

 

[InfinityIggy]

Why does the thread title say Jole...

[DCDM]

Beauty! Excited to see Sean and Joe continue to create chemistry.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Nice! I like it.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Apparently deal is actually 1.275 AAV per Millions.

 

[Anglesmith]

Kid wins the Nice Guy award in his rookie season and only gets $1.25M?!

Super deal. It worked for Backlund, it will work for Colby.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Still good imo.

[CraigsList]

Lol, no biggy.

Imagine Flyers fans though.. "Not an extra 25k!"

 

[StreakingRed]

Glad to see it done. Nothing to not like about this deal.

I predicted 2 years 1.5 AAV.

And you couldn't have been more wrong!

Add in a short left winger and it will just look like a nice angle upwards. All that line needs is a crafty, skilled left winger, preferably shorter than league average. I think we have a couple of those we may be able to use in this scenario. Also Engelland makes more than double what Colborne makes lol

As Eklund and his Hockeybuzz staff say, any Defenseman with a pulse gets 3m.

Does anyone know if this amount was decided by the arbitrator, or if the team/player came to an agreement?

 

[fallsviewafro*]

He will outproduce Gaudreau

it was agreed by the team/player, his arbitration was set for Aug 1 I think

 

[Beats By CoRD]

Awesome! Pumped to have him for another 2 years. Kid will only get better and it won't hurt to have guys like Monahan/Bennett/Gaudreau etc on his line.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Great news. He got some sandpaper to his game as the season progressed and with that frame he is capable of being a major PITA around the net and along the boards. Hoping to see more of that in the future.

 

[ThatHighGuy]

Hopefully over the next 2 years he learns how to use his size to rough some guys up along the boards and also put up some decent points
