Value of: Brendan Lemieux contract

[Skinnyjimmy08]

What amount contract do you guys figure he will be signing?

He is a RFA and seems like he did well in NYR since being acquired.

Very curious what type of deal will be coming his way

3 years, 1.8-2.2 a year.

3 years, 1.8-2.2 a year.

This is about right.

I think it's a 2 year deal if his agent is smart

 

[MisterT]

$10.5M for 8 years - as this seems to be the HF Boards standard response.

ya I was kinda thinking a 2 year deal at 2ish mill per.

If NYR can lock him in at a 3 years 6 mill deal, it would be great for the team

 

[koth]

I'm not quite sure why he's worth 2 million a season, or what he has done to make himself worth that.

10.5M divided by 8 years. I'm down for that.

1.3ish per year for 8 years ... get it done!lol

like when Jarnkrok signed that VERY odd 6 years 2 mill per year contract haha

Not his fault he was misused by the Jets. He was extremely effective on the Rangers.

I doubt Lemieux would want to sign for more than 1 or 2 seasons.

He was not nearly as good as the Jets other 3-4 LWs. Hard to justify playing him above the 4th line. He was fortunate to go to a team with less depth to get more opportunity. It happens all the time in the NHL.

Fair enough

He wasn't misused at all. Who exactly should Lemieux have been playing ahead of on the Jets?

Laine

Seems to be a trend for them. Lemieux, Hayes

While I agree that he wasn't misused, hes probably going to be better than Tanev.

That said, for a team looking to win now, going with the more trusted Tanev was the right and proper decision.

agreed on Hayes. But not at all with Lemieux. He isn't playing over Ehlers and Connor on the left or Wheeler and Laine on the right, even with Laine's underwhelming year. I don't think Lemieux was good enough defensively to break up the Tanev-Lowry combo so there weren't many spots for more ice time.

Twelve or ten point five million in hand is better than 3 million in the bush. I think he should take it.

To be honest, there were a lot of Jets fans that thought that Lemieux should have sat instead of other young players like Vesalainen and Petan. He brought a lot of energy and scored some goals, but he had an unsustainably high shooting percentage and he was really bad in his own zone (and this is coming from one of his supporters among Jets fans)...

 

[Neuf]

I would not be surprised if Lemiuex pots 20 goals next year. Mostly garbage goals, deflections, greasers, etc.

I definitely see 18-20 goal potential

Thanks for that reply. He was decent in his own zone with the Rangers. Could be a new team inspired his play, could be Quinn's system and coaching.

Tanev was way, way better than Lemieux was for the Jets. Lemieux didn’t get any ice time because he was stuck behind the Jets stacked winger depth.

 

[TGWL]

I think 2 years is good, slightly higher in year 2. 2 million'ish cap hit.

 

[Guffman]

Huh, not sure why you would pay Lemieux $2M AAV. It’s too high.
