Bjugstad sign to 6 year deal/$4.1 AAV

[Juggernaut27]

Unbelievable. What a steal.

Sets a precedent for the rest of the team as well. Just awesome.

So glad to have NB in the fold for the next 6 years.

 

[Drugs Delaney]

This is nice news. I'm happy for him and the organization.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Wow. Thought he'd get a bridge, but at that caphit. That's going to be a steal of a contract.

 

[Aksu]

6 years for 4.1?! Amazing! Tallon, I LOVE YOU

 

[Juggernaut27]

Wow. Thought he'd get a bridge, but at that caphit. That's going to be a steal of a contract.

Probably not even the most expensive Jugs in Miami

So Bolland is better than Bjugs?

apparently

very happy with this deal tho, freakin love it

 

[ShootIt]

Omg I can't even

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

This is the most loved contract in HF history, even the mainboard thread is universal in their approval.

 

[VerhaegheAintAverage]

Fantastic news!

 

[CanadianPantherFan]

My fav young Panthers player , but Ekblad is making a case for 1B.

Nice to see young Getzlaf tied up for many more years at a great price.

 

[CoolburnIsGone]

Wow. Thought he'd get a bridge, but at that caphit. That's going to be a steal of a contract.

Personally I would've rather a bridge deal and then sign him long term so we keep him longer. But this reminds me of the Weiss deal which was in our favor for all those yrs and gives us cap room to add when needed.

The question is was his scoring slump tied to the negotiations? You tell Dale until he throws in that extra .1 a year I'm not scoring. But for real you wonder if he was holding the stick a little tight trying to earn his new deal.

 

[WESEERED]

Wow awesome news to wake up to!

 

[Egblad]

Great news! Bjugstad at that cap hit and # of years is amazing. Awesome work Dale, and congrats Nick -- you deserve every penny.

 

[Mogo]

Great deal!

Just think in 2008 this team gave Olesz 6 year deal worth 3.125M$ per year. In 2008!! At todays rate that would be well over 4M$ per year

 

[SoupyFIN]

Dalé!

 

[Rat Trick]

Sweet dr... deals are made of this..

Great signing and at what price. Keep 'em coming.

 

[Effe]

But i thought everyone wanted to play for the leafs...

 

[Dabeast]

Hell yeah!!!!!

 

[TheEkbombIsReal]

Good deal. Good job Dale!


Happy to have locked up NB27 long-term. One of my favorite players on this team

I hope Bjugstad's agent added one stipulation to this contract: Bjugstad has to play on the point for the PP.

 

[5 Hole]

LOVE this!
