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

[ijuka]

Not really. Watching his east-west crap got old fast.

Why on earth does the type of a game he plays matter if he scores 51 in 57?

 

[mazmin]

Nice deal for the Canes. Could help bring the price to sign a player like Hayes out of New York to the 5.4-5.8M range AAV over 5 or 6 years.

Aho's production has dropped more than Teravainen's since they were split. This contract can turn into a really really good one.

His defensive game has improved leaps and bounds since he first got here. He’s just so, so smart with and without the puck.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

TT is making the Canes look good here by signing him early. 51 points in 57 games for 5.4M for 5 years is looking solid. This is what good negotiation looks like for a RFA.

Aho's production has dropped more than Teravainen's since they were split. This contract can turn into a really really good one.

On what basis has Aho's production dropped? Both have been on fire and their production is equal.

Since January 20 (Nino trade was roughly when they were split):
Aho = 13 points in 10 games
Teravainen = 13 points in 10 games

A good chunk of that has come on the PP where they play together and Brind'Amour has also infrequently placed them together to provide a spark (Canes first goal last night was Ferland-Aho-TT).

At Even Strength Aho-Nino-Williams have been much more dangerous:
Niederreiter-Aho-Williams = 9 Goals For vs. 5 Goals Against
Teravainen-Wallmark-Ferland = 2 Goals For vs 1 Goals Against

Yep, they needed to get out from Bickells contact

I always thought Chicago made a good pick here in the draft. I am sure if they could, they would have kept him. Really good player. One of many Finns that are doing well in the NHL.

He has now 20 points in 15 games since signing the extension.
