This is paying to bring Quinn!!!! The 9 million means nothing if it is what brings Quinn, a top 5 D perennial Norris candidate, to New Jersey.
Could also be the greed of the player maybe he wanted 12 million. Players don’t give a shit about the team anymore. They just want the most money they can get. All professional sports players are greedy. These type of contracts are gonna hurt the fans cause ticket prices are only gonna go up.
7 x 9 mill is right around where most people thought the contract would be. Can’t believe that it took this long.
Definitely buying in that they will acquire his brother Quinn
Goose you have to learn more to accurately report. Luke’s agent was demanding 11m a year since the start and would not let him move This is a fine deal and if you don’t get that you need to watch a different spoet
In addition Fitz did an amazing job only going to 9mm. You simply don’t understand what the agents were putting the team through. This whole deal is part of bringing Quinn in as well. One of the most complex negotiations ever.
Let us hope he can help bring us a Stanley Cup. D. Hamilton and Temo M. have not so far. .
Yes, he has to live up to this contract
Kirill got 17, not 16
I like the deal. Luke needs to stay healthy, cap is going up. This is not a bad deal. If he got 10 or more that is pushing it.
the AAV is fine he really progressed when Dougie went down. He's only gonna get better he was I think the youngest player in his draft class. The cap is going up, this contract will age well LGD!
I think in 2-3 years this contract will be a bargain.
You cannot use Kovi's LTIR unless he is gone for the season. New rules. It is not a solution at all.
Kaprizov has elevated all contracts. GMs saw the light yesterday and now more dominoes will fall in the players favor. It’s a brand new world
This is also an investment in seeing Quinn join his brothers. Obviously
