Confirmed with Link: Appleton re-signs, 3yrs, $2.16M AAV

I like Apples. Not sure I like him so much at $2M+. In three years we will know if it was at the right price or not. Not a ton of risk in the contract, so no big deal one way or the other. Happy for him that he snagged some decent coin for his new family.

Really rough start to his season under the new contract, and it's not due to a lack of opportunity... he has gotten prime minutes with Scheifele, Connor and Dubois. Really hope we are not regretting this contract.

He wasn't signed to play the top line, it's no surprise he's struggled there. The whole team has to be fair. He'll be fine.

Meh I would expect even bottom-6 players to look much better on the wings with 55 and 81.

55 and 81 haven't looked any good either.

The whole team has looked like ass , why single him out?

Agreed. We had a PTO player in Svech come in and along side pld and Connor did not look out of place. Pretty sure that was our top scoring line last year in GF And Svech produced individually a solid rate too in that spot. Appleton should probably be providing more than Svech in effectiveness and production as a top 6er

If they're smart, when Ehlers comes back Appleton should be the one to come out of the lineup...This keeps the 4th line together and has Ganger, who is better with Lowry.
