8 years with AAV of 7,000,000 ... steep

what a shocker

 

[Bawston]

Its Tukka time!

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

not surprising. A lot of people will cry about this, but I intend to enjoy it while we can.

 

[Cronuss]

Gross.

Basically Chara/Crosby/Malkin/Stamkos money for a goalie who has only played one complete season?

edit: Correction, higher than Chara money, and he has never played a single full season as a number 1. Our young, unproven goalie, who has never played a full season in his career, is now they highest paid player on the team, higher than our Captain and franchise player(s).

Love the kid, but this is terrible, and is going to **** us for years... even if he lives up to the contract.

I think chia doesn't negotiate at all. Over pays almost everyone

should be worth it though. And it's pretty much exactly as expected.

The big question to me is, will M.Subban wait 6-8 years to become a no.1? Is Rask willing to split/be a backup at 32-34 years of age?

Congratulations on making a new thread about this. It's not like there is another thread were people have been talking about his contract situation or anything.

That being said, even though all along we knew it was going to be a 7 mil cap hit, I really hate it. Should never pay a goalie that much.

 

[Mione134]

Well worth the money.

 

[EvilElf63]

Wow.

No, not thread worthy at all.

HFboards = serious business

Lots of money but I'll take an expensive contract over a never-ending goalie quest in places like Philly

 

[Spooner st]

IMO, Chia's biggest mistake.

 

[Afam*]

I don't like this. Stanley cup or bust now.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Glad we got Tuukka signed, but how could Chia not get the caphit under 7 while giving 8 years?

 

[Afam*]

Tuukka is gonna be ballin

Lmao.

 

[Root]

love Tuukka, too much money.

 

[BeardBros]

PC has lost his mind.

 

[NinthSpoke06]

Not an overpay.

But why the **** can't we get one guy on our team to give us a team friendly contract?
