I expected 4x4 so this is good.

 

[Clare2904]

See ya Sherry

 

[Shaffer]

Good deal imo.

 

[Clare2904]

Could be a tad better at 3m but it is what it is. Glad you are sticking around Bryan.

 

[Son Goku]

3.5 is good these days for a top 9 winger.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

That's a solid contract coming in under $4 million, imo.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Excellent deal. Very happy.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I don't love it, but i don't hate it either.

Its an ok deal.

 

[Stad]

Good deal IMO. He's an underrated key part of this team with what he brings and can play anywhere in the lineup. I'm super happy with this.

 

[RizzleMcRib]

I'll take it. 3.5 for a player capable of putting up 45 points is pretty good.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Good deal and term. Can't help but love Rusty.

Just keep him the hell away from Sid and he'll be gangbusters.

 

[Clare2904]

So that is one t-shirt I'm keeping for next season. Just need to see now what I do with my #58 & #81

 

[thecore]

Fair to both sides. Definitely means no Hags resign though, IMO, even though we already were leaning towards that.

 

[KIRK]

That's all ya got?

I expected more from you.

At least this . . .

 

[turd]

I don’t think I’m a fan of either the term or the dollars here. Quite the gamble.

Keep him off the LW too.

He's a RW. Play him there.

 

[KIRK]

Term worries me less than the dollars. And, it's not the dollars per se. It's that JR needs to make some moves to create sufficient cap space to augment the mix.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I honestly don't see any drop in his play when he plays either side. As recently as the stretch run last year he looked great playing LW with Brass and Kessel until Sully nixed it for God knows what reason.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

More than anything, this suggests to me that JR's aiming to move a big contract this summer.

 

[Turin]

He’s worth it. Now frick off Sheary. And probably some other people

 

[KIRK]

More than anything, this suggests to me that JR's aiming to move a big contract this summer.

Any preference or preferences?

 

[ImporterExporter]

Said it all year, Rust wasn't going anywhere. JR knows what he's doing. Bye Sheary......

So...........

 

[Bryan Rust]

God is good
