WE GOT IT DONE! I WILL TAKE THIS, HELL YEAH!!!!!

 

[Six Assets]

great to have brady signed long term. don't care about the aav

 

[armani]

I would have preferred 8 years at that price, but I think he will still provide equal if not more value as the face of the franchise!

Good job Dorion to get him to sign long-term, now it's Tkachuk's turn to live up to it which I am sure he will!

 

[Dan Patrick]

Overpay but signing him is an important step in shedding the idea that we wont sign our best players.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Who cares about the .2 mill. I’m so excited, this means a ton for the rebuild that we got him long term, and honestly Dorion deserves a ton of credit here.

 

[Akrapovince]

So… holding out worked for GMPD no?

 

[Flamingo]

And feels good to get “wants out of Ottawa” behind us.

 

[SensBrawler]

Thank God.

I don't even care if the AAV is a bit high at the moment, I'm just so thrilled Brady's locked up long-term.

 

[Xspyrit]

 

[Emerica]

AAV is high but we’re a team that is fine with giving players like Del Zotto 2M a year so overpaying Brady by 500k shouldn’t be a big deal. Thank god this is over

 

[Adrianopolous]

Too much money for a career high of 45 points.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Couldn’t care less about the amount, we’ve now got both Chabot and Brady signed for 7 more years which is our clear window. Let’s go!

For real yo.

Amazing that some are whining about an overpayment when we were talking about bridge deals and potential trades.

We've got our captain locked up through his prime FFS. Get pumped people!

 

[Asquaredx2]

Yay

 

[BatherSeason]

AMAZING!!! Now please rid this lineup of Scott Sabourin

 

[The Waffler]

Patience, gotta love it.

 

[JackieDaytona]

Never mind the haters focusing on slight overpay. The sens got their guy signed long term, this is awesome news! Kudos to Pierre dorion for getting this shit done.

 

[Chabottawa72]

just happy this is over now...over payment?...yeah...locked up the captain for 7 years...wooo frigging hoooo

 

[Burrowsaurus]

We’re trading him before that first 10.5 year y’all know it

 

[Alf Silfversson]

I would have preferred a lower AAV but I think 7 years is the perfect term.

 

[Tragedy]

Overpay but signing him is an important step in shedding the idea that we wont sign our best players.

Chabot, Bath, Brady. I think you can kill this notion that Ottawa can't or won't sign it's players.

 

[dmarc]

eff, I'm crying, don't know why, just feels effing good to have a player like Brady want to be here

 

[Tragedy]

So Brady skates onto the ice tonight with the C on his sweater, yeah?

 

[H2O]

No bridge deal is the best outcome here! And I t’s not severely overpaying to a point that it compromises future contracts. Dorion did good.

 

[Hale The Villain]

So… holding out worked for GMPD no?

Dorion compromised on term and money from his 8M x 8YR offer, which was already an overpayment, so I would say holding out worked out pretty well for Tkachuk.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Oh and this commitment is just one more reason to like Brady more than his dipshit brother.

Get bent Matthew!
