Seems cheap, but i would have preferred longer term. He’s still rfa after this?

 

[Baby Doaner]

Glad that’s over with.

Yes, 2 years of RFA after this deal is done.

Only reason one can be upset with this deal is that it isn't longer. 3 years still leaves him with 2 years of RFA control.

Pumped to see Maccelli in an Arizona sweater for the next 3 years!

Now extend Bear.

Decent contract extension;
Left money on the table for a smaller bridge contract.

Still gives us the option to sign him to 8 years after this depending on his play. I would have gone 4, but this is very very good value.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Nice

Fine bridge, but he will get real expensive if the pace continues and the cap goes up.

With 4 he could just pull a Debrincat. Play out qualifier and walk away.

Excellent contract. Perfect length IMO. Cheap for his production and still keeps him RFA controlled

Yep love this and love that it seemingly got down with ease and in a way that worked for both parties

 

[Tom Polakis]

This is great news. We have two, and maybe three competitive offensive lines for next season. Defense is still quite lacking, but the team should be even more fun to watch, and maybe even out of the bottom 10.

Sooner or later you have to pay to play. Everyone concerned will be more that happy to pay him 7 or 8 mil. next contract, or whatever the number is, and that would be because he and the Coyotes have been successful

One of the most important moves of the off season! Good job!

 

[Mosby]

Cool with the length but a little surprised we didn't go for max term considering we have been the beneficiary of many of those deals. A change in philosophy between Armstrong and Chayka for sure.

We still need to see if his production is sustainable.

love M^2’s play!

Noodles! Love this deal

With Macceli, I error on the side of BA.

 

[Summer Rose]

Wish it had been a bit more term but we still have two RFA years afterwards, so whatever.

Either way, I'm just happy he's on the team.

 

[Grimes]

Think it's better to have two RFA years or one when this contract ends?

Pros/cons

1 year
Pros
Buy less UFA years of you at the next extension

Cons
He could push for a 1-2 year deal and then attempt to walk if there's still uncertainty

2 years
Pros
Will be harder to walk into UFA by signing a small deal when it's time to re-up. We essentially have two years to get a big deal done

Cons
Said big deal won't be as deep into his career and may be more expensive since it will be straddling UFA and RFA a bit more

Is this the general thought everyone is having?

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Noodles! Love this deal

Maccelli is a winger, they are easier to replace and he had only one good year. Glad to see he is staying though, we do need to keep young talent. If he were a D or C with that year, then I would have wanted more term.
