Is that why these boards are crashing on me?
5 years at 6.9 million per year is my guess.

 

[surixon]

5 at 7.25 is mine.

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Buffy is ours!!!

 

[TheGovernment]

5 years at 7.6 million... I like the term and the money is about what I would expect over 5 years. I like it.

 

[gbill2004*]

5 years x $7.6 million is confirmed. $8 mill the first 4 years and $6 mill the final year.

 

[mondo3]

I'm guessing 6 at 6.5

 

[Channelcat]

Sounds reasonable, now we can move Ladd

 

[KCjetsfan]

impactful signing.. enough to crash the boards

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Freaking out Ric Flair style...

Whooo whooo whooo... whoooooooooooooooooo!!

 

[SensibleGuy]

jesus how annoying! Finally something big to talk about and the board goes **** up! INfuriating!







yay Buff!

 

[Jetabre]

Holy poop we did it!

 

[Skidooboy]

Cans Open! Worms everywhere!

Lad will go soon and Trouba traded for Hammonik is my guess

 

[SLAYER]

This is the deal I was wanting in the summertime. I'm extremely pleased with this signing. Also, now everyone on the trade boards can stop trying to shovel a garbage package for him.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Ideal term, ideal dollar value. Good deal.

 

[surixon]

I'm ok with it. Now hopefully he cleans up his penalties a bit.

 

[spades0faces]

good signing

bye bye Ladd!!!

Buff for captain!

 

[RustyCat]

Very happy. Guy is one of a kind and we are lucky to have him. Great job, Chevy.

 

[Inflict]

**** yeah! That is all.

 

[winnipegger]

yay. Big Buff shall patrol our blueline (and below the opponents goaline) until the 2020's!!

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

What, wait, I thought Chevy had already botched this up, according to many on this board?


Little high on the AAV, but I like the 5 years, and I like the AAV on the last year. He is the face of this team that would have hurt had we lost him.
