Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYR] Kevin Shattenkirk (4 Years, $6.65M AAV)

[TheGroceryStick]

That's alot of scratch. His play in playoffs was putrid; so my view on him wasn't very high to begin with.

 

[Mrb1p]

4 years is nice but outchies 7m.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Wow nice term for the Rangers kind of shocked that Shatty is taking a 4x6.9M deal but nice for the Rangers. Obviously Shattenkirk was wanting to play for his hometown team and was willing to take less to do it.

 

[Savant]

If it's only 4 years I don't care what the cap hit is.

 

[Dbrownss]

So salty.

Why would a fan of the team that traded him(because hes on the 3rd pairing) be salty?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Good deal for NY

Especially since they're the team I love to hate

 

[rt]

6.9? nice

Nice. 6.9.

 

[Face Of Bear]

I'm surprised he didn't go for max term. Free agency would be much healthier overall if more players took deals like this. Still dont think he's a 7M dollar guy - but at least its not 7x7

 

[Jee]

7M ?? Seems high.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Shocked I tell ya

 

[WiscoBlues]

I was hoping he'd sign somewhere else just for the surprise factor.

 

[fm]

don't believe this yet. huge for nyr if true

 

[satbank]

7M ?? Seems high.

It's only for 4 years though.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

4 years would be incredible.

 

[Jumptheshark]

4 years is nice but outchies 7m.

4 is better than 6

 

[BHD]

Nash's contract comes off the books after this season, when they have to re-sign their RFAs. But still... 6.9 is a large amount of money. At least it's 4 years instead of 8.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Nice

 

[Cassano]

4 years makes it an amazing contract.

Glad Kevin snubbed Jersey and the terrible team there.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

6.9? This contract blows!

 

[CrypTic]

Good deal if true. 6.9M is high but worth it for the shorter term.

 

[tictactoe]

I bet it's more years.

 

[liquid1988]

Big surprise....

 

[Territory]

4 years is a steal for NY.

He's worth 6.9m for 4 years easily.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

That cap hit is hilariously awful, but expected...that term ain't bad at all if true, though.

 

[CHGoalie27]

Ignore his performance in past playoffs that magic water at MSG will make this contract worth it.

How is this not obvious to too many??
