omg first

Great deal.

He’s easily worth that already with his PK abilities and there’s still room to grow there.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Lovely!

Never doubted ya Pav.

 

[Bcap88]

He’s still rfa after this deal right ?

 

[ScottyK]

Good... as long as Zacha doesn't take his usual first 60 games off to start the year this should be a steal of a deal

WE OWN HIS f***ING RIGHTS

 

[Classic Devil]

Good.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Perfect. You need solid, young players like this on cheaper contracts to play down in the lineup if you really want to contend. Fits the team perfectly right now.

 

[I Hate Tie DOMI]

Good. Still not a bust. I think he puts up 20 this year and plays well on the PK, but I have a feeling it might be with a different team when all is said and done. Ray based off his comments seems a bit upset.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Good deal. Even if he doesn’t improve at all that’s a fair price.

 

[Devils731]

This will really hurt his KHL production this season.

I wonder who leaked the KHL nonsense? If the agent did it what was his point? NJ fans would rise up in unison and demand Shero empty the vault for him so he wouldn’t go to the KHL? That seems like an unlikely strategy. Anyway good this is over and the league can get back to handwringing on the big name RFAs.

How did Ray make it two sentences without a curse in there? Must be some kind of record.

Most likely his agent. Dumb move but glad this little saga is over.

 

[Eye Test]

Lol at playing over seas

Now to appreciate him, here's my favorite goal of his during our playoff-clinching game against TOR in 2018.

 

[ThePrideofStockholm]

Sorry Pavel for telling you to f*** off, still love you!

 

[Bleedred]

He does make us better, especially with the alternatives being some scrubini like Rooney playing if he weren’t here.

Who cares if he’s the 4th line center or 4th line anything? It’s time to move into the third decade of the 21st century and stop the cravings for having some worthless plumber or termite eating up a lineup spot because we can’t have skilled guys on the 4th line.

Now that Ray has his big fish locked up for three more, he can work on that Tyler Hill guy
