A little higher then I thought, but if he keeps his play up I'm all for it. Makes it easier tonuaod Kuznetsov as well.

Could save 13 million this off-season by unloading Kuz a d Mantha.

 

[tycoonheart]

Wow. La Bomba.

 

[YippieKaey]

Good! Bye bye Kuzy and Eller i think. Or Kuzy goes to wing and Mantha is out.

5 mil is pretty decent for Strome and i like the term.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Excellent.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

GMBM proving a shrewd negotiator……now ship someone in the top-6 for a good hockey trade……

 

[twabby]

Wait why are they extending a recent healthy-scratch to that type of contract?

Everyone needs a day off occasionally….

 

[StrikingDistance]

Good deal!

Contract is good for current Strome. But I have a feeling Strome is the type of guy to get lazy/complacent.

Also, this does not mean the end of Kuzy since Backstrom is still a huge question mark.

I for one am hoping this will do something to Kuznetsovs psyche and maybe make him give a care again

Well he has an excellent role model (Kuzy)in how to get complacent after you sign a big deal….

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I like it. Now trade Eller for some futures
Orlov and Jensen next please

 

[Marshall]

Love the re-sign, fine with term, price.

W00t.

If “hey they just extended your replacement“ doesn’t…..he will prove to be the guy we already know he is.

 

[itsjustsurvival]

I like it. Was hoping they'd extend him.

 

[Calicaps]

Well done. He's got chemistry with Ovie which alone is worth the deal, but he's been good overall.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Good, now on to Orlov and Jensen.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

This only works if they get rid of Mantha

 

[Silky mitts]

Currently tied for 46th among centers next year in cap hit (more guys will sign for more money now through free agency), so average to below average 2C money

 

[g00n]

Have a feeling this means early trade activity incoming after the AS break

Some blank Stats from this season. The one on the top is Strome and the one on The bottom is the #1 trade deadline target lots of people here have been talking about.





Edit:
Its Patrick Kane

Meier?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Love this deal, we’re getting the rest of Strome’s prime at a fair cost.

Eller is gone for sure, Friedman confirmed that the Caps are probably looking to move him at the deadline.

Next question mark is Mantha.

No questions. He has got to go
