Great deal for SFY.

That's great compared to everything else that is being given out today. Good job Yzerman not going totally in on Niskanen.

 

[Kusic]

Yeah.. nice signing 4 mil. cap hit is really good. Seems Niskanen would be too expensive.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Nicely done Jed-Yzerman.

God damn it, that should've been my new name. ****.

Anyway. Hells yeah. The defensemen I wanted all along, minus Ehrhoff, and not on too bad of a contract either.

Lightning got Stralman for $7.5 million less than Capitals got Orpik over the same five-year term.

Ridiculous.

 

[Mikeaveli]

Stralman at 4x5 >>>>>> Niskanen at 7x7. Praise SFY.

 

[Fred89]

SFY

 

[Look Up]

9.1/yr for both Garrison and Stralman.

Yzermagic.

 

[DFC]

Wonder if Callahan helped us out here.

And for those more familiar: What's Stralman's skating like?

 

[ThunderAlleyNomad]

I'll admit it. I had temporarily lost faith in the Yzerplan.

I feel shame now.

Carle - Garrison

Delighted! We have a legit top 4. Doesn't seem fair!

 

[Necropolis]

Just an awesome deal. So relieved that we didn't sign Niskanen 7x7.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Wow. Awesome WOOOO

Main boards slow on this one

 

[Quinn Coin]

Fantastic deal for you guys. Strålman is great. You're getting a very solid defender who shows up big time in the playoffs. Didn't produce much offensively, but he didn't get any PP time with Vigneault. He does have a nice, hard shot though.

 

[Look Up]

Shows you how important the moving of Purcell was. Stralman signs for same that Teddy made.

Main boards slow on this one

A few threads popped up but they were deleted for some reason.

 

[nilssont]

Stoner 4x3,25 >>>>>> Stralman 5x4



Anyway congrats on this

 

[Alivesi]

Main boards slow on this one

They had a thread open as soon as it was reported but they deleted and haven't posted a new one yet, weird.

 

[Bolto]

Good deal SFY!

Now let's get a backup goalie. Who's available?

 

[Alivesi]

As per @Real_ESPNLeBrun, Stralman deal is $22.5M over 5 years, not $20M.

 

[Butchered]

Still think TB is in it for Niskanen as well. I think there's a legit chance he ends up in TB. Deal is being reported as 22.5M over 5. Still a fantastic signing in comparison to Orpik.
