Confirmed with Link: Jets sign Adam Lowry to 3 year contract worth $8.75 million

[Mortimer Snerd]

you guys mind not rehashing this over and over and over again in a thread that's not about that dead horse? thanks

All threads are about Pavelec Stempniak Armia.

OK, OK, JK
Wish we had a text colour to match the light grey background. lol

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I sure hope Bryan is put out to pasture before 3 years are up.

I would rather hope that he and his wingers (by then Ehlers and Wheeler) have developed great chemistry and Bryan is a 25 goal 60 point 2C.

Good term, good number. I'd be leery of much more term because Lowry's body is already a wreck, I feel like he might be done by 30.

Jets need to start giving more days off to slightly injured guys before they come more injured.

What good is depth if you never use it.

 

[Deedog99]

I liked Armia too but what can you do it's done

No place for armia on this team. Will be interesting to watch the Habs fans response to his jeckyl and Hyde play style.

Good contract. Was a little worried it would creep above $3 M AAV. Keeping it below was nice. C'mon Trouba, time for that last minute deal.

This may of been what the Jets were thinking, Lowry with ubi injuries takes away from his heavy presence which takes away from his over all game. Hopefully he's got it all taken care of and stays healthy.

I don't know how much money the team has left to spend, but this deal I'd give a B. To make it better I would've done as high as $2.5M for four years. Mostly to expose Lowry in the next expansion draft.

armia cost ~1.5 in Montreal
would've been nice to still have him

Armia's cap hit is $1.85 M and he is an easy enough player to replace internally at half the cost. I'm sure Chevy would have liked to give up a lesser player, but there are costs to freeing up cap space.

Ya, it just seems so strange, negotiations I mean these days. Like with all the data out there agents don't have the leverage they used to and contracts are more predictable. HF Jets posters are so close at predicting each contract correctly. It makes you wonder what takes so long when they know the inevitable number (give or take a 100k) right from the start that they will most likely meet at. The amount of time it takes seems silly at times.
GM - 2 million
Agent no 4 million
8 phone calls later they settle at 3 million

Agent has to justify his commission.

I was just gathering some stats on Lowry to use in a discussion with an annoying Oilers fan (aren't they all?) and Lowry had a better year than i suspected. He looks like a screaming deal.

Of Centres who played at least 300 minutes last year. (all stats 5 on 5) Lowry was:
#1 CF% - Bergeron was second
#1 fewest giveaways
#1 fewest shots against
Top 10 face of percentage
Top 10 Hits/60
Top 30 P/60

Nice

Exactly. Waste of money really. Like selling a house with an agent.

 

[Derfel]

Would have liked to have seen another year for the same money but this will do and they can always extend it later.

I think you just don't give much more term to bottom 6 players. This is past a 'show me' deal but he can be extended in 2 years if his play and health earn it.

Wow! I knew he’d have good numbers but not that good. And that while facing some of the toughest competition.

Good contract. I thought it would be 4 yrs at $3 per, so Chevy is a better negotiator than I would have been. Better term and salary.

The post signing interview quip I heard had Lowry reference the salary cap.

Team Player, fair contract = larger core with better players...

Go Go

I got a soft spot for the old coot

edit: thought you meant to say Beyak

We all like Sip

Glad to see Lowry back!

Laughed pretty hard at this, love me some Beyak.

Good to see some players are onboard with taking a bit less for the team. He is getting market value but he is on the lower end of his market.

 

[sipowicz]

$2.9 per for a guy that did squat last year, well okay then nothing to see here!

 

[Moon Man]

Great great signing. This is a big one. Lowry probably thinks he can get even better at the game. That’s why it’s a 3y deal.
