sounds like a very understandable deal.

 

[Incubajerks]

Merry Christmas and happy new year!!!

 

[Wolfpuck]

Dundon so cheap

 

[canuckking1]

Great deal

 

[CraigsList]

Jeez. That’s a good deal

 

[Team Cozens]

Marner deal looking worse by the day...

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Very good deal

 

[TheOllieC]

Huge. Great deal. I'm happy.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Potentially a fantastic deal. He needs to bounce back a little from last season, but he has the talent and the right attitude. If he continues to develop toward that 40-goal power forward type of player, $7.75M is going to be ridiculously cheap 8 years from now.

Why was every team except Toronto able to get their RFAs signed to reasonable deals?

 

[Drake1588]

At a glance, that deal figures to be very good to amazing for Carolina. Nicely done. It looks like he's leaving money on the table, though security has its own value of course.

 

[Deam78]

Great deal.

 

[UseTheBoards]

Canes will win the cup within 4 years. Stacked roster and now Aho+Svech on extremely team friendly deals. Canes going to be deadly if they keep this up.

 

[snowkiddin]

Great deal. He’s not worth it yet, but within the next couple of years that’ll be a steal. Fantastic young player.

Marner deal looking worse by the day...

Marners been an over a ppg player the last 3 seasons. Svech hasnt.

Marner deal is bad but they not in the same tier.

 

[bleedblue1223]

If he hits his potential, then it's a great deal. If he doesn't, still a pretty good deal.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

BOOYAH!!!

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

And this is why the FO was willing to let Dougie get his big white whale contract elsewhere. Very short-term pain in exchange for very long-term gain (having the requisite space for getting 8 years instead of 2-3 with Svech).

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Man, that's a great deal even if he's JUST an average first line wing. If he pops, it can be a phenomenal deal.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Marner deal looking worse by the day...

Lol, what? Svechnikov would be a Nylander comparable, not Marner.

 

[Gurglesons]

Solid deal.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

That's a great deal with the potential to be excellent.

Where's the clown that said Svechnikov would get $10M?

 

[MinJaBen]

Lol, what? Svechnikov would be a Nylander comparable, not Marner.

Yes, Svech does play well in the playoffs. Good point.
