These goofballs freaking out about years when he'll 31 at the most....

Good GMs move a contract like that easily. The AVV is so low...

Evolving Hockey loves him, predicted 4x4.8

A 4 by 8? That’s just ludicrous. The chart you posted only says 4 by 4. That’s too high still. They got him right about where most thought.

In a world where 32 year old Jay Beagle gets 4x3m, 4x2.5m for a 28 year old Richard Panik is pretty good. The guy averaged a 40 point pace the past 3 seasons. That's perfectly decent for a third liner.

Meant 4x4.8

This seems.....excessive.

Toronto waived Panik, Detroit waived Jensen, and Chicago waived Kempeny. WAIVER FODDER.

Probably still better than your favorite team LMAO.

Most projections had him making more.

 

[BlueDream]

Lost Bura and Connolly so he’s not a bad replacement.

 

[Plub]

He seems like a Caps kind of player. Big body, physical, skilled.

Big body, yes. Physical? Rarely.

Quite a commitment to a guy who only shows up when he wants to.

That's why he's a third liner. That's why Brett Connolly was and is a third liner. Connolly has never broken 30 points until last year on a play for pay lame duck contract. He's about to get the same contract at a million more per season.

Kempny wasn't waived by Chicago. We was traded to Washington for a 3rd pick

Detroit never waived Jensen

His early days he was a hitting/forechecking machine....

Panik! at the Capital

I’m a Coyotes fan. I didn’t want Panik to come back. I like him okay, but he’s as streaky as they come. Shift to shift, game to game, week to week and month to month. All aspects of his game are wildly inconsistent. He can be really good on all fronts or really bad on all fronts, or good in some areas and bad in others and it changes with the wind. Can be physical and can be soft. Can be good or bad defensively. Can be a force offensively or invisible. You can never tell.

I think that’s a pretty good price point for a really talented team that doesn’t have to depend on him. He can just do what he does and provide the occasional boost. That’s probably enough for Washington. I think it’s a good fit there. Not a great fit in Phoenix where he has to be relied upon. As a second or third wave, he’s probably a great fit.

Four years, gack Lock your top 6 forwards up for 4 years, not the bottom 6 forwards.
