This is a modest sigh of relief for me. I was worried Murray was going to look for a fresh start elsewhere to try and improve his luck. This incidentally makes it much easier to move Werenski for a top tier forward.
as long as he stays healthy.
He went to Cbus to evaluate his back right before July 1st(as he told) and according to his insta. So this signing means his back was good enough for this money.A fair signing. If he stays healthy it’s good value to the team. Because of concerns about his back, the term is reasonable. It’s also a contract that keeps him a viable trade option. And if kept and he blows a tire, it’s less a disaster.
I still have to believe Ryan, Savard or Nuti is traded before the season begins unless Jarmo/Torts decides the team will bank on icing its best 6 DMen for success.
Missed that. But the thing about injuries to the back is they often come back.He went to Cbus to evaluate his back right before July 1st(as he told) and according to his insta. So this signing means his back was good enough for this money.
Not sure I agree. I'd be locking Zach up for 8 years. Trade Murray instead. He's 2 years away from UFA and is an injury risk.
I'd be excited but you just know he'll be down for the count for like half the season and probably the playoffs if we make it.
One of the most underrated blue liners in the league. Glad to have him for 2 more seasons. Please for the love god stay healthy.
1) Still can't believe the AAV for a guy who's proven he can't stay healthy.
2) Can't believe, if Porty is to be believed, that Jarmo discussed going 3 years.
A very crowded blue line. Only Gavrikov is waivers-exempt and he looked fine as a 6th D in the playoffs. That's still 8 other guys (assuming Werenski signs) and I assume they'll waive Clendening again, though imo he played pretty well in spot duty. Have to wonder if a trade is in the works.
His aav ok with me.
3 years wold have been ok.
He's missed over 40% of the games he could have played in since he was drafted. 7 years and he's out over 40% of the time. Why this team is committing this much money and entertaining that much term to a guy who can't stay healthy is beyond me.
