Confirmed with Link: Lars 'Danish Rage' Eller Re-Signs (3.5m x 4 years) overlords rejoices

[Gary320]

So he should be getting about 3.5 million a year?.. damn Habs caved in. Long term... its a great deal if he fulfills his potential

 

[overlords]

Bit more than what I wanted, but it's fair.

 

[pine*]

Good, he can take desharnais' place now after taking his contract

 

[M.C.G. 31]

**** yes!

 

[That Habs Fan]

now to give him just as much or more responsibilty than eller

i'm ok with the pay

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Got more than I expected but I'm not complaining.

Now make him earn his contract and give him more responsibilities!

 

[Hope Of Glory]

3,5M? No problem with that.

The 1,6M was indeed just for arbitration purpose then.

 

[David Suzuki]

Wow that's a bad contract.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

3.5 is a little more than I expected but it's okay. He's a great player to have long term so this is great news.

4 year contract for Lars Eller. 3.5M$ AAV #canadiens #tvasports

Nice.

Eller asks for $3.1 and Habs give him $3.5

Wonder if this means PK will get $12M now??

 

[SakuSauce]

L'harceleur for 4 years? Megusta. Was expecting 3M but he's worth that money, good for him. Bergevin must like those 4 year deals (Desharnais, Emelin, Eller).

 

[Price is Wright]

Very surprised Eller agreed to a four year deal. Great signing by Bergevin.

I don't feel Eller earned the contract but on a four year deal, it won't hurt too much.

 

[NLHabsFan]

Good contract IMO. Could have been for less on a shorter deal, but now he's locked up to a term that matches our current roster at a decent cap hit.

One year =/= 4 years including 2 UFA years

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Wow that's a bad contract.

Meh, overpaid a bit but not by much. Easy to deal with it.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

3,5M$ for a solid 3rd line center is good, especially with the 9M$+ contracts signed by first liners. Habs are also getting 2 years of UFA.

 

[BigHabs]

Probably 3.1 for 2yrs, 3.5 for 4yrs is what was settled.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Praise the various norse gods

 

[Hackett]

Hahaha what happened mr Bergevin

I'm a little surprised at the length, but it's good news.

eller is an important player on this team whether he's playing with the most skilled players or not. He brings a different dimension to this squad that the other skill centers cannot, and that is the ability to control the puck down low.

 

[Markov4Captain]

I'm happy. I think Lars will earn his contract and I won't be surprised if this ends up being a bargain.

The interesting part of this deal isn't the deal itself, but what it entails. I was worried Eller wasn't in MB's plan but locking him up long term shows otherwise. This put Plek on the hot seat IMO. Don't see him sticking with the club for much longer. One of him or DD is on their way out.

 

[NLHabsFan]

I wonder if the salary is 3.5per or an increasing one that buys his UFA years at a higher cost than the RFA ones.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He was asking for 3,1M$ / 2 years and he would have become UFA right after. Now with 4 years, Habs get 2 years of his UFA. That's a good deal. He'll only get better.

 

[Mrb1p]

Bergy is officially my man, sorry w7, you are now alone on the hate train.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Happy.. Love me some Eller.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

So that's only 1M less than Paccioretty's?

Max's contract is so awesome.
