He was so fun to watch when he played in Moncton.

Congrats, Barber!

I love that we were able to retain pretty much everyone from the cup run.

BARBY PARTY!!!!!!

Love the money, love the term.

That's the summer. Let's get to camp, see whether Kyrou is ready to make the NHL roster and then go raise a banner.

Love it.

Great timing, just logged on to see this. Glad they got it worked out and really happy to have this guy back.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Really good deal by Army here

 

[Majorityof1]

Yay!!! I'm happy. I like Barbashev. I figured it would get done, but you never know. Good deal for both sides I think. I do think its BS, they had to nickle and dime to make sure he makes less than Sanford. "We can't pay someone without Arb rights more than someone who has them. Sanford makes $1.5M, how about, $1,499,999.98?"

Should still be RFA at end of deal, right?

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Awesome.

Play ball....or....ehhh...drop the pick....let's get going. This summer is starting to drag on and on...

I feel like this must be some kind of record in that regard. The only guy we won't be returning who started a game in the playoffs is Maroon, right?

Most Cup winners have significant turnover in the Cap era.

Great deal. Well worth the wait. Let’s get this going!

Yup

 

[Mike Liut]

Not sure why they couldn’t compromise and give him 1.75 mill. Hate the idea of pissing of players over a little bit of money.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Perfect deal for us, only leaves us with 500k space though right?

At least give him more then Sanford...

About 1.2M in space. Or enough space to have brought the whole band back together.

Think they can clear some space by sending down Pouliet

Maroon wasn’t resigned because of the money. The roster position is more valuable. There’s no reason Kyrou shouldn’t make this team and begin his NHL career

I’d love to see it. Love that Kyrou

 

[SIU LAW]

Based on all the reports during negotiations, I am surprised he signed for two years. He would have had arbitration rights next summer.

Once I saw that the KHL season started today (with Barbie being shown at the local racetrack recently), I was curious if his signing was imminent.

He didn't play a game in the playoffs, did he?

 

[execwrite1]

Sweet - Ivan the Terrible returns.

When Pouilot and MacEachern are moved off the roster, doesn't this leave about $2 million in cap space?

 

[Mike Liut]

Hard to believe Barbie is only 23. Seems like he’s been around a while. He’s really starting to turn into a nice player. That’s why I wish people would be more patient with Kostin. He’s still so young
