Confirmed Signing with Link: [WPG] Adam Lowry signs extension (3 year, $2.917M AAV)

[scarbrow21]

It’s a great deal for the Jets, Lowry is one of the premier checking line centers in the NHL. Calling him a “bottom six” center, while perhaps technically accurate (especially when you’ve got the Jets’ forward depth) - it really doesnt illustrate Lowry’s full importance. It’s basically Tierney’s deal (just to compare to another recent signing) plus an extra year and Lowry is flat out a better hockey player than Tierney.

Frankly there’s probably a bunch of centers who are considered second line centers by their respective teams that I’d still take Lowry over in terms of overall impact in the ice.

Most underrated piece of the Jets puzzle IMO. He's a premier defensive C who drives a line. I'd actually be interested to see the results of him between Ehlers and Laine

 

[SLAYER]

Nothing catastrophic, but seems a bit high for a #3 C that has 0 G 2 A in its last 17 games.

Nice sample size ya got there.

Lowry brings way more than scoring to the team, I'm very happy with this deal.

 

[YP44]

Good deal, especially on a 3 year term.

 

[McDLT]

Less term and AAV than I was expecting. I thought that it would be closer to 3.75M for 5 years.

What do you mean? Thats his stats in the last playoffs, no sampling here, I just used hockeydb. No need to get defensive!

If we think about 25 y old #3C, I think the habs / sharks / sens had better deal with Danault / Tierney / Pageau on their RFA contracts... But nothing catastrophic, like I said.

Maybe he'll do a Eric Haula of himself and prove me wrong, but I don't see it.

I've wanted this for so long. Lowry over Little any day of the week for me.

Lowry will be 25 for basically the entire 18-19 season which means when he hits the end of his next contract he will have only just turned 28. If he stays healthy and maintains his role on a powerhouse Jets team, he’s setting himself up to get seriously paid the next go-around as a big, sought after center with what should be all kinds of playoff experience against the best lines in the NHL.

It’s a smart bet on himself and a good deal in the meantime for the Jets who need to be wise with their spending.

Seems odd to comment when you've never seen him play.

 

[robertocarlos]

He was injured the last 17 games. He put in one great playoff game, over and above what could be expected with his injury (he hit them hard), and that win enabled the Jets to get past the Preds. That alone was worth $3 million in gate for the Jets.

Seems a bit passive agressive?

Great signing, really happy with this one. GG Chevy

Didn't know he was injured? That could explain his lack of production in the PO, then.

What injury did he had? Can't find anything about it.

This is real life and not the reality of EA Sports. Why comment if you obviously haven't seen the player in action? Lowry is not comparable to the players you list.

Nothing 100% but believed to be a separated shoulder that he hurt earlier in the year, ended up re-injuring it around March/April

Yes he is? How is he not a comparable to Danault/Pageau?

Don't know exactly but it was mentioned on the Jet's board. Could be just a sore body that needed rest. As an example, Armia was not the good Armia but we found out he played with a bad knee after the season was over. I don't understand why these guys don't rest when they are hurting.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Making the Radek Faksa deal look even better than it already was!

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Good for the Jets.

 

[Saitama]

He didn't want to outright call you clueless

 

[jetsforever]

Good contract although the term could be a little longer
Happy to have another RFA locked up

 

[Walt22]

Great signing.

 

[Skolman]

Fair deal for both sides

 

[Flyerfan52]

Good contract although I'd have liked to sign him longer.
That's 2 of the 3 big 1s with arbitration rights signed before their dates. Now Chevy just needs to sign Trouba before his. Tanev & Dano are minor pieces so let the arbitrator decide if they even merit their qualifier.
& please sign Morrissey long term so we can count on him being in the fold. The sooner the better as he'll only improve.

There's about $18 million left now with about 4 earmarked for bonuses. Chevy & his team of #s crunchers will have to be creative.

 

[PhilJets]

Very good signing

Lets go Trouba!

 

[General Disarray]

Isn't this kind of steep? Not saying he's not worth it, but can the Jets afford him? SHouldn't they be trading these kind of players while keeping the core like how the Hawks got rid of Shaw when the time came for a raise.
