Confirmed Signing with Link: [WPG] Patrik Laine re-signs with the Jets (2 years, $6.75M AAV)

[JetFan4Ever]

Yes, the wait has been painful. Great deal for both sides. Let him put up 50 goals each of the next two years and collect the money on next contract. Jets will be willing to pay up!

And then there were 2.

Solid prove it deal for the Jets.

 

[Sky04]

whoa that was unexpected.

How crazy is it that with all that cap space in Colorado, Ranta is now the very last high profile RFA to hold out?

Because Coloardo wants to be smart with their cap?

 

[justafan22]

If I was a jets fan I would've liked to see a 3 year deal but it's fine.

Not great, not awful. It's fine.

 

[Devilsfan92]

I'm surprised he signed before Conner.

 

[BruinsBtn]

There was just no way they were going to pay him long-term until he sorts out his play in his own zone.

 

[Cellee]

Boom

LFG

 

[Royale With Cheese]

2 x $6.0 would have been ideal from a Jets POV, but this isn't a big overpay. Glad it's done.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Smart deal for both. Jets need him from game one and Laine need to prove that last season was a one off.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

F$%^ YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Torontoborn]

Congrats Jets fans, Connor is next.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Good stuff. Great for WPG.

 

[ffh]

Rather qualify laine at 6.75 then tkachuk at 9.00

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I actually like it for both sides. IMO this puts alot of pressure on Laine to excel so he can cash in on a big contract after this.

Let's see what hes got!!.. bettin' on himself.. I like it

 

[GoodKiwi]

This is a win for Winnipeg in my opinion. Very well done.

 

[CupsOverCash]

I think it's a decent deal for both sides. They get him cheaper than he wanted and for him he can try to prove quickly that he deserves a bigger deal.

 

[JT Kreider]

Where should Laine be going in fantasy drafts now? Late 2nd round?

 

[Whileee]

I actually like the 2-year term, though I would have preferred a slightly lower cap hit. Let Laine blow up with a 50 goal season or two and then get his big long-term deal when the Jets have more cap space.

 

[SCP Guy]

If Laine wants the BIG money (like 6 Mil isnt lol) he better prove it in the next 2 years...

 

[antiqueslivers]

Winnipeg is going to bleed on the next deal

man if he can make a case for the blood letting then it flow my friend let it flow!

 

[Opado]

Noice!

The breakdown per year hasn't been reported for Laine

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Fair deal.

 

[AKAChip]

Praise be.
