Hopeful he is part of the bottom 6 solution going forward. He has potential to hit 10-15 goals. Great signing.

uf ideal, if dude continues to play like he was playing it will be a steal
I don’t know if he’ll develop that sort of scoring touch (though I’ll be thrilled if he does), but at $800k it doesn’t matter. Even without scoring he tilts the ice whenever he’s on it, and if he can be a part of a fast and aggressive fourth line that can contribute quality minutes and swing momentum in our favor while not getting scored on he’ll have earned his pay. If he does manage to hit the back of the net with some consistency and becomes a good third liner and depth scorer then he’ll be a bargain for the next couple of years, and in the unlikely event that he goes in the opposite direction and sucks then his contract is buryable. Basically a zero-risk signing with decent potential upside.

He's kind of a mix of Paquette and Gourdey. He never hurt us while on the ice, never gave up on a battle. Good signing
Lil Dick Mick bringing that L D energy for two more years.

I had him pegged for $1m for 3 years. This is equally better. Every penny counts where we save. Ace is everything we need for the bottom six. He showed some chemistry with Paul, Colton, and Maroon.

Kucherov or prospect
Give him 2 years 1 AVV
Gives him time to prove himself and gets a little raise
This was fast shows me JBB isn’t taking time off he is trying to jump start on contracts

Yeah, definitely a great deal with no risk! Given our cap situation we need a number of players that contribute for less than a million!

Absolutely love it. He isn't going to score a lot but he's noticeable in every game because of his speed and we definitely need speed in our bottom six.
Good stuff here, like what we saw from Ace in a small sample size. The 800k number does help the cap situation a bit

It seemed like our fanbase was already starting to like him. This team friendly contract will make him a fan favorite as long as he doesn't shit the bed. It's a 2 way contract though, so even if he does it's ok.
It’s a one-way contract but that doesn’t matter - all it means is if we waive him and he isn’t claimed (unlikely) he’ll get his full NHL salary while playing in Syracuse.

Good deal, we like what we've seen so far and when we consider salary cap crunch Lightning are facing. Getting a player with talent, that fits, and has friendly salary is huge find. Welcome to the family Eyssimont....
