Great move. He’ll probably suck in a few years but we’ll deal with that down the road.

 

[wej20]

Love it.

 

[Jacob]

Oh praise be to Allah.

 

[Clare2904]

I love Horny

5.3 is a steal when you compare to some overpaid donkeys in the league

 

[ImporterExporter]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MOVE.

Cole and I have been on board this train for a long time. That's a very, very good deal for us.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Yesssssssss!!!!!!

 

[Giskard]

Great extension! And thanks to the VGK to help make this happen.

When that tweet popped up on my alert this was my reaction in the office:

 

[orby]

Great news, hope we win at least one more cup with him. #72 rules.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Great AAV. Too much term to my liking though. Hopefully he doesn't slow down like Kunitz.

 

[PensandCaps]

Under 5.5..

Amazing. Great deal.

 

[HandshakeLine]

He's celebrating by having some Gravlax and punching a Polish tram driver.

In related news: Hornqvist has reported he's seeking a restraining order against ColePens prior to signing his extension.

 

[Zirakzigil]

About as good as deal as you could expect

 

[cheesedanish87]

Its gonna be a compliance buyout after the new CBA.

But its not my money, so i guess i'm ok with Horny at 5.3 til the new CBA comes.

 

[Tom Hanks]

My favourite player in the NHL.

In his postgame interview on Friday when they asked him about the Brassard trade, he said something like "That's why this is a great place to play" so I started getting my hopes up right then.

This is glorious. Gives us pretty much the whole core + Brassard this year and next year to make a serious dynasty bid. Love it.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Sid, Geno, Phil, and Horny all offer such different, valuable things.

Incredible that we have all 4 signed for the next 4 years on such reasonable deals. Horny re-signing for that price is borderline worthy of sainthood. One could make the argument that the prime window added a couple extra years today.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Another instance of the Pittsburgh media being wrong. I hope they say Brassard isn't going to extend and then he signs for this exact deal.

 

[Killswitch7187]

This is a great day for Penguins hockey.

GREAT day.

 

[wej20]

Pens should be to competitors for the next 3 years, having Horny here for those years is a huge plus.

 

[harmonica]

Great move. He’ll probably suck in a few years but we’ll deal with that down the road.

His game around the net actually should allow him to last longer than those that require speed and their hands to put food on the table. Plus he is in incredible shape. In my book he definitely is good throughout the term.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

YES!!!!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!!!

YOU made my f***ing day with this new cole...

 

[Sideline]

I love Hornqvist more than anyone here and I will fight @ColePens IRL to prove it. Thank you Old Man JR.
