Good deal for what he brings.

 

[Krustchev]

Easy to trade.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Weird, that's less than his qualifying offer

Discount for a team he likes ???

Does this make him a UFA sooner than accepting the QO?

Still RFA next summer

Not sure what happened there. Not that I'm complaining, it's not my money.

The QO should be $2.4M, so why accept a $2.3M deal?

That is really weird. I doubt that he said he is just worth $2.3M.

Exactly, i don't get it.

Like, is there a signing bonus? A no trade / no move?

 

[Guinch]

His qualifying offer was 2.2M actually since part of last years salary was actually a signing bonus
