Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Good term, the AAV isn't bad. I like what he brings to the team, and look forward to 4 more years.

 

[Master Scheif]

4.125M AAV. Great contract.

 

[Le Golie]

That's great. He's such a good fit in the Jets. I love watching his creativity and versatility.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Johansson ballpark?

 

[Gump Hasek]

Good news!

Plus, he holds the all-time NHL record for best team headshot picture, ever.

He looks like a scary hypnotist there.

 

[Kshahdoo]

So he never played more than 71 games/season?

 

[Evil Little]

I really really like this signing.

 

[McDonald19]

Miss him on the Ducks, not sure about 4.125 for him though.

 

[bennysflyers16]

One good one in Palmerri for a Schenn comparison, and one not so good.

Fair deal, but kind of surprised the Jets kept him just for room in top 9 and also for the expansion draft if they planned on 8 players protected.

 

[irunthepeg]

4x4.125??? Wow, I like that.

 

[Hivemind]

Johansson ballpark?

Can't be used as a comparable in Johansson's arbitration hearing because this is a UFA contract.

 

[PhoenyX]

He's good for 50-60 games a year tops

Part of MP's appeal is the versatility he brings. Paying 4.125M for a 3C seems heavy, but he can easily fit into just about any role on the team. Some analysis was done last year showing that certain players' advanced stats improve by a good margin when on MP's line, so I think he's worth the salary.

 

[Jetabre]

Wow Matty P signed already! Awesome!

 

[mytduxfan*]

Gross. IMO, that's an over-payment for a player better suited on the 3rd line.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I've been a supporter since he was drafted....but this seems high to me. Congrats to Matty P though! If Jets fans are happy, well done!

 

[FLYLine27*]

Average contract.

 

[DRW204]

This was the first year he played more than 70 games. always injured, 40-45 point guy decent contract i guess

How has nobody posted this gif or its variations yet?

While he is somewhat injury prone, he has averaged 67.3 GP over the last 3 seasons. He also is incredibly versatile and does well on any line he's a part of. This deal isn't larcenous but it's a good deal. You can call him overrated but at least give us valid reasons why you think so. There's a reason there is overwhelming positivity about this deal from the fans who watch him play.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Congrats to MP, well deserved. Still bitter that the Ducks chose to let him walk rather than at least qualifying him to trade his rights. Could use a guy like him in the lineup right now, though probably couldn't afford him at that price.

Tops?

He played 71 games last year.

 

[BlueDream]

Wouldn't say the contract is "great", but I like the player.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Average contract.

This is best description, not a steal, but not outrageous, Fair for both sides.
