Puts the Yandle and Ekblad deals into perspective

What a fantastic signing.

 

[JS91]

See, Steven, this is what you should have done too. No hesitation whatsoever.

 

[Lehkonen4Calder]

So Ekblad deal look more terrible now.

 

[Schenn]

Inb4 Kucherov signs for an 8 year league minimum contract.

 

[realgoodleafs]

Amazing summer for Yzerman.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Wish we'd coaxed Yzerman into being our GM when he was available, what a wizard. Fantastic deal, will be a complete steal at the end of the contract.

 

[Sonofamitch]

Interesting to see who is gonna be the odd man out in Tampa. No way they can keep all these players.

 

[Brewsky]

Amazing deal, but now gotta wonder with Drouin, Kucherov, Johnson in some years.

Their window is very small, win now mode.

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Just like Stamkos, Hedman could have gotten 10 Mil at minimum in free agency. Yzerman is working some serious magic by being so damn stubborn this year.

 

[TorontoTrades]

great value on that cap hit.

 

[Hire Sather]

Tampa is the best run organization in the NHL right now. And it all started with the MSL deal.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Kucherov or Killorn up next. I can't wait.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Must be a trade coming up.

Stamkos = Yzerman
Hedman = Lidstrom

 

[Wintersun]

Holy ****. What a deal.

TB is doing soo well.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This goes to show you how players on TB are willing to take less to stick together and work towards a Cup. They're close. Maybe adding another couple of pieces can push them towards one. I'm sure Stamkos and Hedman will win a Cup (or more?) during the life of their contracts in Tampa.

 

[Stephen]

Crazy value there.

 

[kodoshin]

Congrats Tampa fans. Great contract for a great player.

 

[Mitchy]

Absolute steal. Wow, just wow. Hold this W, Yzerman.

 

[aufheben]

Godammnit that's amazing.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

God damn

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Crazy. Man Yzerman is an amazing GM

 

[Stephen]

Puts the Yandle and Ekblad deals into perspective

What a fantastic signing.

Why? Ekblad could very well be a superior defenseman than Hedman.

 

[Riellyfan04]

wow what a deal by Tampa!! VERY GOOD!!!! this makes the ekblad deal look bad!!! googjob tampa

 

[The Underboss]

Wow!!!

 

[Syckle78]

Steve Yzermsn is a wizard. Thank you so much for refusing to move up in the organization so he could take over,Holland you bag of ****.
