Confirmed with Link: Nick Paul signs 2 year deal (1.35M AAV)

[Sens of Anarchy]

2 more years to freedom

 

[RAFI BOMB]

Great deal. I am confident that he will far exceed the performance expected from that kind of compensation.

 

[Icelevel]

So now we know why DJ liked paul so much. He’s 6’4”.
Thought it was his play.

Not against size myself. I’m a fan of Paul.

 

[Wondercarrot]

Nice, like me some Nick Paul in the lineup everyday.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

They back loaded his contract yes one even this small lol

That’s not a sens thing. It’s happening everywhere now

 

[Liver King]

Niceeee

 

[Masked]

That’s not a sens thing. It’s happening everywhere now

The players probably prefer it because they're more likely to get the season after next paid in full compared to the upcoming season.

"The Ottawa Senators have signed forward Nick Paul to a two-year contract, the team announced Wednesday. The deal carries an average annual value of $1.35 million, with Paul receiving $1.2 million during the 2020-21 season and $1.5 million in 2021-22." Did not see the details here so I copied and pasted them.

 

[DrEasy]

The last remnant of the Spezza deal still lives!

Replying to myself but basically he even has some Yashin DNA in him if you think about it.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Good stuff, I still think he has some unrealized offensive potential as well.

 

[aragorn]

Good signing. I wonder if they will try him at 4th line centre at some point this yr or just keep him on the wing & let him take the occasional faceoff?

Be cool to see Paul - Brown - Batherson for a bit at least

Yashin deal is finally starting to pay dividends.

It's a line that had some good success in Belleville, it would definitely be interesting to see what they could do at the NHL level. And they have plenty of other players that could make up other decent lines. Would also be interested to see how Sokolov turns out for them & whether he makes it to Ottawa this coming season or spends it in Belleville. He's another guy who could add some offence to a line, would love to see him play with Norris & Formenton to create another potential very good line.

I am sure he would be slated to start in Belleville... to learn the structure and to see what his pace is like... We have him.. I would not have picked him there but we will have to see how he translates from being an older monster in junior to the pro level

If the reports from @BondraTime are correct about losing a bunch of weight and really improving his skating, we might have something with Solokov. Good boom or bust pick just as Jarventie is a great boom or bust pick. God I hope 1 goes boom.

Jarventie is an August BD I believe... He just turned 18... better chance for him to go boom imho. Sokolov may be that late bloomer hidden gem .. we shall see. I am skeptical of the double over ager shining in the CHL. I also think I would be more positive on Sokolov if we didn't draft 2 more of them.

 

[Que]

Man am I ever happy for this kid. A well deserved contract. He could be a real late blooming gem for us.

 

[DueDiligence]

Nice. He’s developed into a very nice bottom 6 player. Between Paul, Watson and Chlapik that’s a very nice energy line.

Those guys can actually play. Good move by the Sens.

 

[DueDiligence]

Meh.

Again? What moves of the Sens do you actually like?

Everything after him really makes me question our scouting staff.

 

[Sensinitis]

Nice! Him and Watson should make two 3rds of an awesome 4th line.

 

[BondraTime]

Everything after him really makes me question our scouting staff.

We had a great first two rounds, possibly best in the league, and then possibly the worst in the league from 3-7.

Took a while to realize what you were talking about.... but holy crap you're right

Or lack thereof.
