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

[goonybird]

get ready because if he goes to NJ it's going to be a ****ing AWFUL contract lol

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Oh, Weeksy.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Not a bad deal at all

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Good deal for both sides. I'm jelly as a Leafs fan.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

TSN said the reports of him agreeing to anything are premature

 

[BMOK33]

It gives Shattenkirk a chance to sign another big contract after this one

He's unlikely to get a monster contract at 32 given how many minutes he's gonna play the next 4 years and he's probably going to play at least 6-7 playoff rounds as well

"HE'S WEARING THE RED AND THE BLACK!!!"

GTFO people, $6.9M is awful for a guy who is one of the best offensive D's and one of the best PPQB's in his prime? Yeah OK.

Yes I think it is because he certainly didn't look good in the playoffs and being a PPQB doesn't justify 7 Million. That put's him at #11 for d man with people like Karlsson, Keith and OEL behind him

Funny things happen in free agency. Remember this.

 

[DEVILS130]

A lot of rumors out there right now. I wouldn't trust anything until noon

 

[Emperoreddy]

Did Weekes jump the gun on this one? He better of gotten this one right for his sake

 

[hockeykicker]

Oops

 

[gordie]

If he goes to New Jersey too long and too much money, I do believe those fans of the Devils who believe in Ray Shero will start to sour.

Bravo for that reference

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I thought he wanted to be "the guy" and wanted a chance to win?

He really gets neither in NYR

? How so. He will be on the first pair and the Rangers are certainly contenders...they nearly made the ECF with Girardi and Staal playing top minutes....

Not that I think he is worth 7 million, but you can't compare it do other contracts that were signed years ago. It's all refelective of their current market. You could find deals that look great/awful on any team if you went by that logic.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Correct, not accurate. The deals 4x5 and not 4x7.

NJ board has been hilarious in regards to Shattenkirk. Most want him but a vocal few do not.

I really don't know which side of the fence I'm on to be honest.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

So 10+ playoff games on a team he joined at the deadline overshadows a 400+ game career. Sounds about right.

 

[AfroThunder396]

It would be amazing if he went up to the Rangers podium, ripped of the blue shirt nWo style and was wearing a Devils jersey underneath.

Then hits Gorton with a Diamond Cutter.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

that is an ugly deal

**** happens, caps blow ass.. so yeah, hard to perform with them.

I hate that argument, well no **** Sherlock. When did they sign their contracts?!

$ goes up you know, how much did they pay Greyzky annually when he played? Is Ovechkin better than him? He has made more $.


+$7M is going to be "normal" for players like Shatty.

Not really.
