Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] Matt Murray signs extension (4 years, $6.25M AAV)

[Love]

LMAO

 

[Muffin]

Oof no wonder no one wanted to trade for him if he was looking for that contract.

 

[wonton15]

Wow. If Markstrom gets less that will be comedy

 

[Blacephalon]

We have money?

 

[Rob Brown]

Ouch

 

[OilerTyler]

Not like Ottawa is strapped for cap space

 

[780il]

Wow that’s a lot

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think this is a reasonable gamble for Ottawa. If Murray rebounds, that's a really good deal to get him at that price. There is obviously risk with it, but I think it's a worthwhile reward.

I'm just surprised he got it after seeing what Holtby got.

 

[HHHJM]

Man, I do not see that end up well for the Sens and I love Murray.

 

[6ix]

Based off his recent play, that’s too much. But he’s young still and could bounce back.

 

[MMC]

This helps them hit the cap floor so I'm not surprised.

 

[HarvP19]

Too much money. should be 5 x 5

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Horrible, horrible contract.

 

[Michoulicious]

Not cheap, but well. Melnick can pay that.

... right?

 

[Tkachuckycheese]

Heavy backend like they were saying players may transition to

 

[Love]

So if Murray gets over 6 does Markstrom get over 7?

 

[Suntouchable13]

A lot of oof this off season.

 

[Boud]

For 4 years I'm willing to take that bet but it's definitely rich for my liking.

Best case scenario was a 3 year deal IMO.

 

[koyvoo]

$6.25M AAV?

A little heavy, I’d say.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Thats way too much.

But who cares, Ottawa doesn't spend to the cap anyways

 

[Merrrlin]

Too much money. should be 5 x 5

Should be 5x3 IMO.

[The Kingslayer]

Nobody:
Eugene: $6.25 milli

 

[Beauner]

Literally every Penguins fan knew it would be over 5. Everyone on HF balking at $4/$5 mil AAVs were absolutely out to lunch.

This is still a little high. No way the Pens would have been able to fit that

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Ehm, okay?
