Good for Gustav

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Thank you, Waiver Wire God.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Happy for the player and the team.

People always say (incorrectly) that Barkov is underrated because of where he plays. It's actually Gus. His 2 way game, passing, skating, are all phenomenal. He's a treat to watch and I can't believe he was a waiver claim.

It's going to be insane when he is signed for under 7 million.

This guy should have been the bell of the ball on D this summer, not Hanifin. Smart move Florida.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I’ll guess 6.5 AAV

 

[Sticksandsun]

If he signs under 8 it's robbery. He's fantastic.

 

[Three On Zero]

Excellent move by Florida, not sure how Vancouver let this kid go

 

[Siignal]

Absolute stud, can see 7.5-8

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

I’ll guess 6.5 AAV

I'm thinking the same.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

I’m guessing somewhere between 6.5-7

Florida’s going to keep a great player on a great deal

This contract honestly gives precedent to the idea that having no state income taxes is a huge benefit. Absolutely insane that he's only coming in at $5.75 million AAV.

 

[ShootIt]

f***ing steal at 5.75mil

 

[super6646]

That’s really good

 

[pb1300]

$5.75 million per A STEAL!

 

[Ezpz]

That's basically going to be #4 money a few years into the deal and maybe even bottom pairing by the end.

 

[Siignal]

Top 5 contract. Bananas.

 

[Drumman44]

What could have been. Too bad the Blackhawks brass completely fumbled him

 

[FinlandPanther]

Man Zito is just in a league of his own.

 

[thaman8765678]

It is a huge advantage to have no income tax.
