Awesome! Did well with Serg.

And he still has a year left on his old deal too IIRC.

Stamkos must have asked JBB for 9.5 AVV on an extension since everyone is signing but Stamkos as normal.

Good deal for 975 k avv

 

[The Gongshow]

Solid deal. He looked good in the playoffs despite the situation they were in. Give him a full 82 next year to keep the development going.

If Perbix and Raddysh play they way they did in the playoffs, along with healthy Cernak (and Bogo as the 7th man) our RD is in a good spot for a few seasons

Nice; he has shown some flair to his game, I hope he can keep developing, even though he is 27.

 

[Zwui21]

Very good deal for 2 season, he should easily outperform that AAV in the next two seasons.
Great job by JBB on the contracts so far

Kind of a steal honestly.

Raddysh still has a year left on his current deal. If he plays well, this could be really good for our cap situation

Raddysh's numbers in his small amount of games was super effective. Great contract for us. Now just get Stammer signed...hopefully for less than his AAV, but we all know that's not going to happen. Wonder if Byrd is going to lose his shit because JBB isn't listening to a single thing he told them.

Stamkos for 7.5x4 or maybe 5 years sounds good, as that gives the team just over 4 million to sign 3 guys, a 3LD, #7D and a 13th F. It gives them.the space to spend a little more than league min on the 3LD(unless De Haan does well and wants to stay) or a 2.x million middle 6 F perhaps. I think 8 should be the max, as that still gives the team enough to spend a little more on either a.dman or F while reaching 22 players by spending basically league min on the 7D and either the 3LD or extra F.

Being nitpicky here on a low risk contract but I would have waited to see if he could carry over the postseason success first before handing out a multi-year extension. Such a tiny sample size to go off of, the coaches probably see him in a decent niche role so they locked him into it.

They gave him a lot of trust last season, Raddysh logged a ton of minutes despite a rather shaky start. But his game got better fast. It’s not a big gamble imo, worst case they burry, best case he performs a lot better than his cap hit and we pay him less than a million for the next three seasons, including his current contract.

I didn't even realize this, but this is huge.
Raddysh showed more and more glimpses of top4 D quality in his game the further he got used to the NHL. Having him for the next 3 years under 1M will be an absolute steal.

Congratz to the front office for the tidy job.

 

[Point21]

If Raddysh doesnt perform, his cap can be buried at no cost so thats a plus

I get what you mean but two years and even if you bury him, its still cheap.
