I legitimately feel uncomfortable about the fact I saw this in Twitter and MMC didn't have a thread up already. Feel like pretty good odds I post this and another one is up.

Good deal

Lol that's more like it

Important to note that if Carlsson burns a year of his deal this year, then all of Zegras, Drysdale, and Carlsson will need new contracts at the same time. And we will still have 1 more year of Strome, Gibson, and Killorn at that time.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Anyway, 3 years at that price is a steal as far as I'm concerned. Really glad we have him back before camp ends.

 

[ScarTroy]

Damn. I’m done criticizing Verbeek. Start negotiating when you want just keep getting deals like these.

Don’t forget our slew of dmen beginning their elc this year

 

[McDonald19]

Man, that’s a really good deal.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Hmmm, seems like JD may have had some leverage.

Glad that's over with.

I think the Ducks getting that 3rd year at 2.3 mil indicates he didn’t have a lot of leverage at all.

Buying out their last year will create 4.25M in cap space for Gibson (2.1M charge the next year), 3.3M for Strome (1.6M charge the next year), and 4.1M for Killorn (2M charge the next year)

Glad this over with. Now lets see how he has recovered....

The next few years will be very interesting. We have a lot of up and coming studs and we won’t be able to keep them all long term.

I think that's a good deal for the Ducks. I figured this would be the deal for a two-year contract. Getting a third year at this price is really good for Anaheim, assuming Drysdale can be relatively healthy the next three seasons.

 

[Leonardo87]

Woo hoo!!! Great deal! Verbeek is really doing well with these contracts.

 

[Rybread86]

Good deal. I figured the money would be close to this. I thought originally like $2-2.125 or something, but thought it was just going to be 2 years. 3 years at the AAV is nice.

Gives both JD and Z a few years to really earn their next contracts while keeping control of the assets.

 

[Leonardo87]

Gotta give props again to Friedman, said things were getting closer and there was progress, and next day he signs. Same thing happened with Z.

 

[Gliff]

Honestly, this deal and the Z deal both are totally fair for both sides. it is insane that it took this long to get done. Neither side, in both deals, "won".

The Ducks may get absolutely railed in 3 years having to possibly resign all of these guys in the same offseason:
Zegras
Drysdale
Carlsson
Fowler
Minty
Zellweger

That is quite the list. Hopefully he works on extensions the year before to get a head start.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Hat tip to Jeff Solomon, who appears to be very good at this. I thought this would have been fine at 2 years, getting the extra year is an absolute steal

Do we need to resign Fowler at that point?

 

[DavidBL]

Do we need to resign Fowler at that point?

That will really depend on Zell and Minty at that point I think.

Fowler will get a retirement contract at like $3mil or something. So not really worried about him.

When you consider how many roster spots will be open and the fact that the cap will probably be up at least 3-4mil (if not more), I dont think it will be super difficult to make it happen. Figure too that Gudas and Killorn are essentially gone. No Henrique or Silfverberg.

Trying to think of worst case...
Z - 10mil
Drysdale - $6mil
Carlsson - $10mil
Fowler - $3mil
Minty & Zell - both RFAs, probably nothing north of $5mil at that time

I think we're set up fine.
