#26, the sickest of 'em all.
Two years at 650k is awesome!
cost controlled for the next 2 years is very nice.

I agree that it's ridiculous the terms aren't released immediately. What's the point?
hopefully the other non-Stepan RFA's - Miller, Fast, McIlrath, Bodie -
sign quickly like these first 4 (Etem, Oscar today, Hellberg, Hrivik last week)
“@PLeonardNYDN: #NYR deal for Lindberg is two years, $650K per. Etem signed to qualifying offer of one-year, $850,500 #NHLâ€
i dunno, maybe it's ridiculous that obsessive fans feel entitled that the terms be released immediately. What's the point?
Lindberg will be a steal at this amount, particularly in the second year. Hopefully Etem is a steal at $850 too.
Miller and Fast both received Q/O of around $900k (miller a bit higher).
I guess the fact they have not signed means Gorton is trying to negotiate something longer giving them a little more $$ and buying up an arbitration year?
2 yrs @ $1.4 for Miller, 2 yrs @ 1.1 for Fast??
Just throwing a guess out there.
Etem is RFA again next year? Wish we got him for more than a year. If he breaks out we're in deep ****.
Lindberg contract is a steal.
Don't think so. Even if he breaks out with a 20-20 performance next season he still wouldn't get more than 2.5 on a bridge term due to his lack of a track record.
Look what Kreider got posting similar regular season production coming off his ELC.
I don't think we'll have 2.5

Both these comments are right on the money.
Lindberg's contract is a steal, plain and simple. He better get significant playing time up here.
And Etem is a case where I feel like he'll break out and we'll have another guy we need to deal with next offseasno on our hands. This could get ugly, Hayes and Kreider will likely both get huge raises, and Etem can be a wild card as well. Well, I hope the front office knows what they're doing...
Lindberg and Bourque combined make less than Glass...
Again, very close to spelling the end of Tanner Glass... Fingers crossed?
Remember that Etem could be extended in January if they start to see some solid play. buying out RFA and UFA years is possible, but again, Etem has no track record, so he's only going to be worth, at most, double what he is paid now.
If everyone breaks out the way we're all fearing, someone like Nash becomes expendable.
Why are we fearing that young players with potential may break out and become solid NHLers? That's how organizations build wlnning teams (including the Rangers). Much rather have to trade Nash to keep a bunch of breakout players than have to fill out the roster every year with has-beens hoping to make a comeback or players who "just need a change of screnery" to "regain" or find their potential.
I realize you're worried about the salary cap, but that's something that we can worry about next summer--after a bang-up season. There is only so much you can do about that now and I think the organization has done what it can do at this point.
