The famous Bridge Deal?

 

[trick9]

Phew this is a great deal for now.

He's going to be expensive in 2 years but they didn't really have a choice with their cap situation.

 

[Kolzilla]

I was sweating bullets before this one...
Good deal, Bura is gonna be a beast.

He may or may not. He is still a 40pt player at best .. he needs to have a breakout season in order to really ask for the moon in two years

Definitely.

My point is that this is the deal Kuznetsov signed 2 years ago. I would prefer these bridge deals to have that 3rd year (see: Kucherov) for a team that's looking to contend short-term (and most likely rebuild after that). Capitals didn't really have an option for that because they couldn't offer Burakovsky more salary for that additional year.

 

[paragon]

Good deal for Caps.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Damn that's cheap for a very good player.

He got girardi money

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

wow major steal

 

[Ogrezilla]

solid deal

Agreed.

We could have signed Galchenyuk for 6 years 4.3m two years ago..

 

[Iceman]

Solid deal.

 

[ohmyjlord]

That's a good deal !

 

[HOPE]

i mean its not realy a good deal, it's just a basic bridge deal...

 

[Critical13]

I don't like it. Should have bought a few more years out in the 4-5 million range.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

What's the deal with this guy? Some games you see him and you think he's one of the most dangerous guys out there, but then you see he doesn't produce at a level his talent/play suggests he should.

 

[MrGone]

I don't like it. Should have bought a few more years out in the 4-5 million range.

This is a salary cap league.

 

[Seanaconda]

I don't like it. Should have bought a few more years out in the 4-5 million range.

But the caps don't have the money do they ?

 

[The GM]

Early frontrunner for GM of the year?

 

[RoyalDuder]

Basic bridge deal, I would've shot for $4.5ish for 4-5 years to stave off the big payday

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Good deal. I figured 3.5 was what it would take.

 

[VainGretzky]

Caps have 5.5 mill to sign 7 players . Someone should offer sheet Grubauer
