Congrats guys! On the signing, and the fact that hopefully you all won't have to worry about any more terrible proposals on the trade Boards for Hubs

Thanks glad he's signed but now that he has a contract the trade offers will probably get worse. It's the way of the trade boards no player is immune.

Tallon said they first talked about 6 yrs, 3yrs and finally 2yrs

This might be an issue but we will never know

Can we update the title?

Hubs is betting on himself. That's all. He'll get a lot more money in two years if he kills it during the next two seasons versus signing long term now. I wouldn't be too concerned about him leaving or chasing the money unless we suck the next two years.

Probably would be similar to what Bjugstad got if he signed long term now. If he kills it it could be like 6.5-8.5 per year depending how well he performs.

I'd prefer if they don't make the same mistake with wingers of the past. I.e. Rostislav "Gave 'em a long contract even though he had 0 twenty goal seasons under his belt at the time he signed the paperwork" Olesz.

Good contract for Huby. Prove you can get at least 20, then we'll renegotiate a new deal.

 

[Beezer]

Relieved it's done. Surprised it was only a 2yr deal in the end but you know what, I think that will be a good thing. Motivation for him to do well to get a great contract in 2years.

I don't remember Rusty's name being that short.

Olesz never had 40 points. Hubs almost had 40 assists alone. He doesn't need to prove he can get 20 goals. Not every player is a goal scorer. That's what I don't understand about the complaining. This kid is a brilliant playmaker and can hit 60 in a career year.

 

[SoupyFIN]

More than a fair deal, I was expecting him to get more tbh.

 

[ShootIt]

I don't remember Rusty's name being that short.

And without any mention of injury or cusswords.

 

[I am not exposed]

He has a chance to prove himself and make more money this way. It would have been great for the team if he signed a contract Ala bjugs, but Huberdeau thinks he can get more in the future. If his performance improves, I have no problem paying him.

That is very generous of you!

2.5 for this season seems like a heck of a steal.

 

[I am not exposed]

2.5 for this season seems like a heck of a steal.

As someone said on the main board, with the "2nd year at 4m, it means that a qualifying offer starts at 4.4M for 1yr."

Harvey also said that there are incentives included in the deal as well, but no idea what they are at the moment.

Signing bonus is pretty much the only thing available, can't have performance bonuses since it's not a ELC or 35+ and off the books extras are illegal.

Really? Did not know that. Thanks

"At least 2 more years." Well that doesn't sound like a guy who is thrilled. It'll be interesting to see what he does once Jagr has some down time with bumps and bruises or a 2 or 3 week IR.
