Valuable player; good signing.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

For some reasons, my brain was somewhat conditioned to hear that it was a two weeks extension. I can handle six years though ah ah.

I like that there has not been any messing around with this contract extension thing.

Congrats OEL.

 

[Alberta Yote]

Awesome news.

Now sign an owner.

 

[Vip]

It's a great sign seeing him agree to a 6 year/long-term. Shows that he actually wants to be here and play for us.

 

[Summer Rose]

Yes!

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Best news short of getting an owner.

 

[zerekstar]

Of all GMDM's moves, this one is perhaps the best! Awesome signing!

 

[Muppet]

GMDM has done it again. 5.5 is a god damn steal. So happy right now.

 

[Flying Chalupa]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm finally gonna buy a jersey with a name on the back!!! Viva OEL!!!

 

[Heldig]

When will the Coyotes sign GMDM long term???

He rocks.

 

[Sinurgy]

A typical DM "fair for all parties involved" kind of deal, I love it! Just like Yandle, kudos to OEL for being reasonable as well and not trying to hold the team over a barrel. A great day for Coyote nation and for OEL!

When will the Coyotes sign GMDM long term???

He rocks.

I hear you there. Honestly that's what has me scared the most right now, the chance that the Yotes could lose DM and/or Tippet this summer makes me absolutely nauseous. They can't go...they just can't!!!

I agree. If he is signed for 6 years I think it is a safe bet to buy his jersey..

OEL will be the captain of this franchise one day, book it.

 

[TheMurdocktor]

What a steal!

Guy is the future of d-men in the NHL.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Unlike Channing Fye's 30 Million dollar deal, this 30 Million Dollar + deal will be worth it's contract easy.

 

[KG]

Yelled in excitement when I saw this. Best news of the season. 5.5m is a steal.

Will encourage Bods too I bet.

What a great kid! Amazing. I am so ****ing happy.

He rocks.

Would he make that deal if he planned on leaving?

Agree 100%. Screw you Mike Smith.

What a great kid! Amazing. I am so ****ing happy.

I know right? Wow. I love this guy. Way to commit. We're fortunate to have guys like Doan, Hanzal, Yandle, Boedker and now OEL all committed to this team.

*******, if we had an owner I'd be so excited about this team's future right now.

 

[jfc64]

Maybe I should move to Phoenix (from Sweden). I like warm weather and hockey. Plus a responsible salary structure...among other things.

Watch OEL - Karlsson in next year's Olympics!

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

You're safe with the player name. The team name though.....
