Weekes was right

 

[Edenjung]

Good for him.
And the team.

 

[BKarchitect]

Predictable. They didn’t trade a bunch of stuff to rent a top flight defender in his prime. Just took some time to flesh out the details.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I think it was Saturday I watched a bit of the Vegas game and he f***ing sucked.

That's 1 period, maybe a bit more, so that's miniscule and everyone had looked that bad at times.

He'll get traded in 3, or 4 years for nothing

 

[JKG33]

The salary cap doesn't exist. Love to see it

[God]

Shockingly low AAV.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Like that deal for Vegas a lot. Especially with how he's stepped up this year.

 

[AcerComputer]

I believe CGY tabled $7m x 8 years, which he almost signed. So he got a bit more with VGK.

 

[Some Other Flame]

That's pretty close to what the rumoured Calgary offer was that Hanifin rejected - 7.5M x 8yrs.

So much for he only wanted to sign with Tampa

 

[HitterD]

Shockingly low AAV.

Really? I think the flames offered him $7.5/yr for 8 years, this is pretty close to that. I never expected him to get $8million or above, this seems right on value for me.

 

[DJN21]

injured next Jan....back for the playoffs. Rinse and repeat.

 

[TLEH]

Caps not real.

I think he could've easily gotten 8-9 on the open market.

 

[duxfan1101]

So is Marchessault as good as gone?

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Steal. Low key one of the best D in the league.

 

[Freudian]

They're the true Whalers.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I knew it was coming but I’m still mad about it.

 

[Bcap88]

7.35 of stones 9.5 used yearly

 

[TheBeard]

Really? I think the flames offered him $7.5/yr for 8 years, this is pretty close to that. I never expected him to get $8million or above, this seems right on value for me.

The difference in money is probably the difference in taxes he won’t have to pay.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Pretty solid for both sides. Likely he could have gotten more AAV in free agency but he gets the 8th year here. Not sure he would have gotten $8m but it’s possible. Seems like he’s in a place he wants to be and his game he rounded out the last few years. Hes a good #2 so this is gonna be the cost for that going forward.

 

[Aoko]

Well, there goes the dream of Tampa signing him in UFA.

These bozos really couldn't outbid Vegas. Yikes.

 

[5 14 6 1]

So assuming a cap of 87.7M next year Vegas now has about 6.6M in room with Marchessault, Martinez, Stephenson, Carrier, Amadio and Mantha as UFA.

I'm guessing they re-up Marchy and the rest walk. That's a big chunk of their cup team changing next season.
