Confirmed Signing with Link: [CAR] Hurricanes extend Teravainen (5 years, $5.4M AAV)

[nickdawg95]

Good stuff

 

[Saekk]

Looks like a floorball player not hockeyplayer

Fun fact, Teräväinen won finnish junior floorball championship in 2009 and scored 3+3 in the final, which they won 7-5.

 

[Torontoborn]

wow nice deal, as a Leaf fan I am jealous that a good player is locked up for 1.5 million less than Nylander.

 

[spockBokk]

I was just thinking this morning, I’d be happy with anything at $6.5M/yr or less for TT. His cap hit of $5.4M comes in well under that. He’s on pace for another 60pts this year and as long as he’s stapled to Aho, he should meet or exceed those 60pts every year of this deal. Fantastic signing.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

The team promises to give them unlimited Carolina BBQ, Bojangles, and Cookout after they retire.

I'd probably play for free if I was offered that.

Ah memories.

 

[Mestaruus]

Good deal for both.

 

[sens13]

wow. steal. he could have easily asked for $6+

 

[One More Salami]

Good deal for both.

I'm sure his neighbours were rooting for a trade.

 

[Mestaruus]

I'm sure his neighbours were rooting for a trade.

Actually it's possible that Sebastian Aho lives downstairs of him. I remember something like this, either upstairs or downstairs in a Finnish hockey documentary series.

 

[Discipline Daddy]

He is absolutely a complimentary player as Aho is the driver on his line. That being said, he has uncanny chemistry with Aho. They always know where each other are on the ice. Watch these two on the PK. You wouldn't think it would work, but they are great killers.

 

[tsujimoto74]

As much as it pains me to say it, Carolina's been killing it lately. Solid deal.

 

[BrindAmours Army]

I think it's a fair contract for both sides. He's a complimentary player and it's not a coincidence once Aho got comfortable in the league TT's been a 60 point guy. If you put him on a 2nd line on a contender, playing closer to 16 minutes than the ~18 he's getting now, he's probably more like a 50 point winger. For example Bolts gave JT Miller 5.25x 5 and i think that's a pretty good comparable.

Good for TT to get paid and good for the Canes not to overpay just because they're short on wingers.

I mean, producing 60pts at 18 mins a game is the same productiveness as 53.33 points at 16 minutes a game. So, that would be about the drop off expected for any player.

However, last year TT put up 64 pts from a little under 17 minutes TOI/GP (4th among Canes' forwards). 5th in EV TOI/GP, and 2nd in PP TOI/GP. Unused on the PK. So, last year he put up 64 points while receiving the TOI of a second liner for the Canes.

This year he is at 67pt pace from 17:42 TOI/GP (3rd). 3rd EV TOI/GP, 7th SH TOI/GP (0:36), 2nd PP TOI/GP. So, this year he is getting the TOI reflective of a first liner for the Canes. Though, of the 49 second difference in TOI/GP, 35 seconds comes from the PK.

Also, he is still fairly young. Aho is definitely a factor, but maybe part of the reason he became a 60+pt player is because of natural progression.

 

[Stickpucker]

Nice deal.

Anyone other Finns want to join us in Finland west?

 

[Lempo]

How about 34+18 playoff games.

“"Accrued Season" means any League Year during which a Player was on a Club's Active Roster for 40 (30 if the Player is a goalie) or more Regular Season Games”

 

[Hawkaholic]

I miss TT

 

[FerrisRox]

Watch these two on the PK. You wouldn't think it would work, but they are great killers.

Why wouldn't you think it would work? Teravainen has been an excellent two-way player his entire career.

 

[Ahoy there]

Nice deal.

Kaapo Kakko, kome on down, you're the next...

 

[CraigsList]

What a steal of a contract.

Canes are going to be good very shortly. If they keep signing deals like that they’re going to have a good amount of cap space to build around their core.

 

[hoyster]

Fun fact, Teräväinen won finnish junior floorball championship in 2009 and scored 3+3 in the final, which they won 7-5.

I believe that was the only game he played that season as well. Or one of the few ones.I was there to watch the game.

Also was a ref in floorball so I reffed many of his games wgenhe was 12-14 year old. Absolutely dominated everyone and would've been one of the best in yhe world. Good for him to make a living with hockey cause not much money in floorball...

 

[davinhimself]

2 years older and 1.5 years of similar production in addition to 1 year of term fewer. You could easily see the difference in value.

In terms of value, I think Teravainen would fetch more than Nylander in a trade.

Hopefully this will dispell rumors of us not wanting to pay our guys. Looking back now, GMBC seems to know what they wanna look like going forward, and the deal we made with you guys makes me feel like Lindy and Hanifin weren't part of our future.

 

[Esq]

Fair contract. Well deserved. I'm sure the Hawks regret giving him up for a contract dump.

I'm sure we also regret that Bickell wasn't diagnosed with MS until after the trade went down.

 

[mikeyfan]

I'm trying to be optimistic for y'all. I like Carolina except when they dress up in green.

The Canes will be in Hartford Green in Boston, I think it's the next game they play in Boston too.

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

All to get rid of bickells conrtract.

The mafia is crazy like dat

 

[mikeyfan]

Nice Job by the Hurricanes. Now to sign Aho to 7 years 8 to 9 Million a year and trade dougie for Kapanen and sign him for 7 years at 7 to 8 million and the Canes will be pretty set.
