Term is a bit long, but who tf cares anymore. He’ll be a good asset in the system.

Not too keen on the length (will be 34 by the time it’s up), but 4.5 is solid for a defenseman like him.

Awesome signing!

If anyone has Kyle Dubas’ office address I’d like to personally mail him a bouquet of flowers.

Great fucking deal

Hopefully he can move Rutta. The Rutta signing was questionable to begin with. But he seems completely unnecessary now, with Graves here.
I also assume that if there ever really were any serious discussions about Karlsson, it was clear it wasn’t happening so Dubas went out and signed Graves and Jarry.
* And I realize Graves and Rutta don’t play the same side. But that’s almost $3 million for a 3rd pairing d-man. Just doesn’t seem worth it. And Rutta doesn’t have a NMC, so he’d be easier to move.

The exact Dman the pens have been lacking for years, big physical stay at home guy. And with the cap going up the last couple years of this contract 4.5 isn’t gonna be much of anything to offload

Damn, I was not expecting that! Finally got some muscle on the back end. Great signing

Damn. Sure, big D so I like it. Assume the rumours around EK65 will now vanish

Graves to Yager for the goal.

He’s a solid guy, but it just seems like a little overpay and a little too long of a term for me to not have any reservations

You got one of the best defensive dmen in the game, take care of him for us

Very nice. I was at his first ever NHL game so I’ve always had a soft spot for him. Term and hit both seem reasonable.

Yes! This is exactly the type of defensive player the team has been lacking.

Hextal didn’t leave Dubas with much other than a small prospect pool and a pile of trash contracts. The only way to make this team better was to be very aggressive with free agents. He’s doing amazing considering what he’s been given.

Dubas going off
