Hoping for sharks. Be fun watching him and thorton(if he resigns) on the same line

 

[Empoleon8771]

Lmao that contract is going to backfire. 3 years for a guy of that age?

 

[King'sPawn]

Tsn announced LA

 

[tucker3434]

Term is troubling. We’ll see if that gave them a discount on AAV.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Great pickup for a Kings team that was desperate for adding offense. Will be fun as hell to see him back in the NHL

 

[justafan22]

Marleau signed for 3 years last year. Interesting to see the terms of the deal since it's a 35+ contract

 

[Filthy Dangles]

LA

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Pacific is loading up

 

[Jyrki Lumme]

3 years.... oh dear LA

 

[SI90]

Great fir. Congrats LA

Rangers*

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Snuck that into the draft. Kindof a big deal.

 

[Michoulicious]

As expected.

 

[disgruntleddave]

I wonder if this impacts the rumor that patches was given permission to negotiate with LA. Maybe they no longer look at him?

 

[BatVader]

What’s the AAV?

Who's a better skater?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

6.25M AAV per Friedman

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Eh not a fan of a three-year term curious to see the AAV

 

[Hadoop]

WOW. What a bad place to be for an older guy with a fair bit of mileage on the body.

I'd say that's fair to say

 

[KingsHockey24]

I'm a big fan of Kovalchuk.

6.25 though? ehh..

 

[Nylanderthal]

Kopi and kovy will be a deadly duo, add that 70’s line and suddenly that’s a real top 6.

 

[Freudian]

Expensive contract.

 

[koyvoo]

Just as he’s about to enter his prime too!

 

[DXStriker]

Damn thats a steep AAV for 3 yrs .
Kopi and Kovy will be insane though.

Let the trades begin !

What do you mean by this?
