Suzuki Signs 8 Year Extension @7.8 Mill

[Stinky]

Suzuki will be more important to the Habs that that lily will be for the nukerz

Only 500K less, and they didn’t buy a single year of UFA.

Yes but Pettersson is more established than Suzuki.

My whole point is that he is paid above his current performance, which is fine on a 8 years deal, as long as he improves.

 

[GEEMAN]

It's a smaller gamble. As long as he keeps performing like he did in the second half, it won't be an issue and might evolve into a bargain. I don't hate it, i think it can be a good deal on both sides, but he's being paid like a ppg player.

only way it backfires is if Nick plateaus at the 50 point range ....not happening

With Cole getting feeds, he should get 70 points this year

The " safe Dano play " is gone .... HE IS DA MAN

Pettersson just signed for less than that. (Yes I know the length is different)

Heck of a player, never scored at a point per game clip yet. I'm sure he will... but he has yet to do it.

And yeah, not buying any UFA years allowed the Nucks to get him cheap.

I'm not that literal. He's a 0.93ppg career player. And had a 0.97ppg season 2 years ago. He's in that category.

Oh, well sure then. It's easy to be right when you don't have to literally be right.

Either way, the only reason EP signed that "cheap" was that he didn't sell any UFA years. He would have got 9m+ on an 8 year deal.

Doesn't matter anyway. The Canucks lead the league in rake stepping and they've wasted the careers of better players than Petterson before.

Sorry if I don't think that a difference of 2 points over a season changes the nature of my argument. But otherwise i agree.

Mostly the deals aren't apples to apples...
