@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Devils sign Zajac to eight-year deal worth $46 million ($5.75 million average)” there it is folks. Max-length allowed

 

[Bleedred]

I thought that Zach would have poisoned him to test the waters of UFA. I'm just so ecstatic that he won't be going home also!

That is not a bad deal at all. Both sides should be happy

Lamoriello said he wouldn't change policy of not negotiating contracts during the season, but could always sign them after.

 

[Bleedred]

That's a hell of a deal! If he had went to UFA I think it would have been over $6 million! We're talking one of the best faceoff guys in the league!

 

[Sgt Brylin]

This is the best news ever. Well, since the CBA. But yeah.

19 Zajac on my next shirt!

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Trav and kovy 4 life...that makes me happy

 

[Wyrmidon]

Max term.

 

[apice3*]

zajac is good people

 

[MattEvan]

Wow, what a pleasant surprise!

 

[Game Breaker]

NICE! Very happy about this. Can't believe it happened the year before FA.

 

[Devils Trap]

Under 6 million makes me very happy

 

[New Jersey Devils]

That Zajac jersey I got during his rookie year looks all damn well worth it.

 

[OpethNJD]

agreed, now zajac and kovy can really start to work together and become a real force on the team without wondering if zajac will be there next year (thanks zach)

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Yay! Got Kovy and Zajac jerseys in my closet, glad to be able to wear them proud for a looong time! (sorry for all of those with Parise jerseys)

I can't **** talk Lou after this signing. I think Patty will come back to us right away. Clarkson hopefully will too. Zajac was always the biggest question mark whether he'd stay or not. So we got the hardest part worked out. Most expensive contract worked out too.

I was annoyed with our trainwreck of a July 1st last year, but Lou and Hucksterbeek have redeemed themselves with this signing!

 

[OOOOIIIO]

Interesting thought. First team to cheat the last CBA's contract rules and get in trouble, first team to max the contract length of the new CBA.

 

[Sgt Brylin]

Now let's sign up Clarkson and suddenly this summer will be a lot better already.

 

[njdevil26]

OMG the Devils have no moneyzzzzz

 

[King Henrique]

Wow what great news! I wasn't expecting this at all. I had to double take when I read it on Twitter. Thankfully we won't have to listen to ridiculous speculation about him all season now.

 

[aboriginal]

blown away. i was not expecting lou to break protocol and do this. i hope this trend continues when the need arises again. i was expecting travtrav to be gone so i am pickled tink hes still here. oh yeahhhh

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I wonder what the terms were.

oh n/m I see it.
and again.
and again.
and again.
aaaand again.

 

[Oroku Saki*]

Love it.
