Not really “Around the NHL” but I didn’t see the point of a thread for this one.
Wasn't this supposed to be announced in september?Islanders Agree to Terms with Horvat | New York Islanders
Islanders have agreed to terms with forward Bo Horvat on an eight-year contractwww.nhl.com
Horvat signs 8 year extension.
8x8.5 lulz
Insane. They paid for the career year. They're going to be nuts-to-butts to the cap for the foreseeable future. With THAT team.
At least they've got kids coming on ELCs to help out. Oh wait................................
They're going to be at a $17.65M AAV for their top 2 centers as of next year. 21% of an 83.5M cap on... Barzal and Horvat? Senility is cruel.
Oh, it's better than that:They're going to be at a $17.65M AAV for their top 2 centers as of next year. 21% of an 83.5M cap on... Barzal and Horvat? Senility is cruel.

That was before the trade. No doubt that it's now #32.At least they have the 27th ranked prospect pool.
Why the Sabres schedule so ass? 5 extra days off after the AS game, they return for a 12:30 game.
Every team in the NHL gets a bye week that's attached to the ASG. The majority of teams got their break before the ASG. We're one of like 10 teams that gets ours after.
And if you look, EVERYONE's schedule is jam-packed in February and March....it's not unusual.
Ah, here I am complaining about one of the few scheduling things the nhl does that actually makes sense then- wish it were more spread out from a selfish perspective, but I’m sure the players like having a solid break.
Can't say I disagree with the basic message Hasek is making!
Why would the NHL want more days with no games? Maybe the players are OK with it.I read a few things around the ASG that said that if the NHL had its druthers, the entire NHL would have its bye week end with the ASG and everyone would re-start on the Monday or Tuesday after the ASG. The only reason why they have to have some before and some after is to satisfy national TV requirements.

It's like they skipped the successful part of the Caps run and just want to fast forward to what the Caps are now.
This contract is worse than the Skinner deal, which was also paying for a career year. I can't see Horvat repeating this more than, what, once over the next 8?
