Solid. Really looking forward to what he can bring next season

 

[FlamerForLife]

Solid deal now let's get Bennett on a 3 year bridge

 

[JurassicTunga]

Solid deal. Around $7.16m? in cap space left. Bennett's turn.

 

[Kanye]

Great deal. Expected a 1 year show me contract, got 2 years for under a million.

 

[CraigsList]

Fantastic. Let's see what he can do.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Nice!

(pew pew pew)

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Really nice to get that second year. Lets see what he can do.

Solid deal. Around $7.16m? in cap space left. Bennett's turn.

Bennett, two D (Kulak and Bart?) plus an extra forward to fit in that right?

 

[Anglesmith]

Pew pew pew.

I bet Lazar is beaming about this deal today.

Bennett, two D (Kulak and Bart?) plus an extra forward to fit in that right?

Bartkowski still has one year left

 

[InfinityIggy]

Huge overpayment /s.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

If Bennett gets 2.5 or lower and Kulak gets under a million, that should leave juuuuuust enough room to bring in a guy like Vanek or Jagr, if Treliving so chooses.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Bartkowski still has one year left

I know, I meant to give us a full 23 man roster with that amount to play with.

 

[Volica]

Huge overpayment /s.

We can certainly kiss goodbye to that sweet washer/dryer combo the flames were hoping to get.

last night i posted a breakdown in the armchair gm thread, i will update and post again

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Kid is a total beaut with Lazar beams for days, love this.

 

[CraigsList]

He should be great next year, ready for him to have a good bounce-back if given a great opportunity to do it.

to bounce back, he would have actually had to accomplish something before

Well, all I heard is that he had opportunities in Ottawa and just didn't capitalize on them. I am hoping he can get goin' here.

 

[Mr Snrub]

Great value. I think his hands were tied because of his play last year for Ottawa but he's proven before that he's an NHLer with real potential. I doubt there is a way we lose this signing.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Well, all I heard is that he had opportunities in Ottawa and just didn't capitalize on them. I am hoping he can get goin' here.

He had "chances" in the same way that Bennett got "chances" on the top line. A game or three here and there and then back to the bottom six.

Ottawa rushed him because they were lacking forward depth at the time, and then all of a sudden they had too much forward depth to really do much with him at the NHL level when he wasn't fully ready and couldn't send him down either. It was a cluster****.

He's going to be a good addition to the bottom six in my opinion. We'll see if it's just as a 4th line energy forward or similar to what Chiasson/Ferland did last year.

 

[Janks]

Really happy with this signing - solid 2 year deal. I really like what we saw in his games (4) this year - hopefully he continues.

 

[Rangediddy]

Wouldn't hate seeing a Bash Brothers line of:

Tkachuk - Lazar - Ferland
6'2 202 - 6'0 209 - 6'2 208

Be a frustrating line for sure!

Bennett would fit that line better than Lazar
