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

[Rants Mulliniks]

This has got to sting for leaf fans after signing Melander to that ridiculous contract.

Not particularly. You get some steals, some market value, some overpay. Pretty much everyone has them. Conversely the Leafs have two of the best contracts in the league in Kadri and Rielly.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

I get that it's a recent comp, but I hate that the Leafs have spilled into this thread, per usual. That said, I'll bite. I think throughout the course of the contracts, Nylander will prove to be the better player; whether it's $1.5M/yr better is TBD.

Did you notice that it was people taking shots?

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

This is the proper way of signing a RFA who is a 64 point RFA. 5.4M is a great deal for the Canes and security for TT. NHL GM's will be more happy with this deal than the Nylander overpayment. This brings things back in line from a cap perspective for GM's that are cap responsible.

Wait, I thought this was a Carolina thread?

It was a general statement, not directed at Leafs fans in particular.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Wait, I thought this was a Carolina thread?

It is, it illustrates just how good a deal the Canes got here given that Nylander just signed his deal for 1.6M more. This can only be a win for the Canes given the wide discrepancy of a 64 point player to a 61 point player are being paid. I guess Canes Mgt are better negotiators.

 

[MrThomas]

So the Canes signed much better player than Nylander for 2 million cheaper. Good for the Canes!

 

[bleedgreen]

I would take Nylander over TT to be honest, and I’m a Canes fan. I think Nylander other than this year is a more overall dangerous player. I think that will be the case in the end.

I’m still glad we signed TT and it didn’t cost too much. TO fans acting like the world ended because TT was cheaper need to get a grip. The guy missed too much time to be good this year, he’ll be fine next year. Trade him to us for a defenseman and he’ll light it up.

Not really. Nylander is two years younger and has better numbers, he was always going to get a higher contract.

TT is a good player though, a fair deal for the Canes.

 

[DoobieDubas]

this deal seems weird to me...shouldnt he have held out and got overpaid then started slow? instead he actually plays and produces and doesnt hold out for more than hes worth....hmmm

Pretty well said

On a 67 point pace. Weird that it was done in season also, seems like more players would rather wait until the summer/fall when they can turn up the pressure on teams to negotiate. Ehlers deal was done in season also. Carolina and the Jets did get team friendly deals.

What in the world makes you think Kap would get 7-8 MILLION DOLLARS????

And I will be upset if they don't sign Aho for 8 years for the record.

If we trade for Kap, then Yes I can see him getting 7 to 8 million for 7 to 8 years. His Speed and he has the appearance of a natural scorer, it would all fit nicely for the Canes.

That’s just pure insanity. Way too unproven for that kind of money.

 

[HisIceness]

Wore a suit to his signing. #leadership

The only motivation for this would be to enable Sami Kapanen to be super smug at Michael Nylander.

I'm not saying it's a bad motivation.

 

[DaveG]

Nice Job by the Hurricanes. Now to sign Aho to 7 years 8 to 9 Million a year

with you there

and trade dougie

for a top line forward yes I'm with you there

for Kapanen

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

and sign him for 7 years at 7 to 8 million and the Canes will be pretty set.

oh sweet mother of god no

What. The. Hell.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

What the hell is going on in this thread?

 

[Lempo]

What the hell is going on in this thread?

People are trying to get Kapanen signed on a Puljujarvi deal.

(same agent as Teuvo and Koskinen, and there's still a part of the day left)

 

[PromisedLand]

solid deal for the canes; wanna see what aho is gonna get

 

[CanadienShark]

Seems fair to me. If he breaks out, this could look real nice.

 

[Roboturner913]

How does Carolina keep getting their guys signed to good deals? It's pretty damn impressive. Slavin and Pesce are also fantastic deals.

It's all this winning atmosphere, players just can't get enough of it

Everybody wants to #Surge.

Everybody wants to #Surge.

And eat out at Bojangles after home games.

This is just a good solid deal. And for those who think that Teravainen is solely a passenger on the Aho train, I think it is pretty easy to see that they both benefit when they play together. TT's defensive game is very solid and he's added PK to his resume. I, like many, felt he would have fetched north of $6 million....and would have been happy to pay it. He'd definitely part of the core.

Seems fair to me. If he breaks out, this could look real nice.

I'm thinking his move from 15 goals and 42 points in 16-17 to 23 goals and 64 points in 17-18 qualifies as his break out. His current 67 point pace feels like more of the same.
