$5.5M, 5 years

He was on a deal with $6M AAV before that.

Probably a year or two longer than I'd have wanted but that's more than fine if it keeps his cap hit down

it's a great deal, only possible negative if there is a NMC where they are forced to protect him in expansion draft

Yeah thats a good deal for you guys. Really thought he was going to free agency and would be up around 6.5- 7

Did I miss something?

Niskanen won the Stanley Cup with the Capitals last season, his fourth with Washington.

Its not the Ladd deal. I remember posting how horrible that contract was when they signed it, and all the Isles fans were arguing with me.

5 years is a long time for a bust

Does that mean Lee goes elsewhere? And lose another captain

EK says Rangers are going for Trouba. I know they want a center, think they’d have interest in Strome+?

Totally fair deal...

- nyrangers9479

I do not think they'd have any interest in Strome

the Rangers got Strome for probably the worst player in the NHL

Depends on the plus, you talking about a pick or something?

I think Strome is the perfect 3C for us but we have Howden. Maybe Howden 58 Pionk for Trouba?

Full NTC in the 1st two years and the last three he has a 16-team no-trade list. No NMC at all. He's exposable in the exp. draft

guaranteed there's a team willing to include a first rounder for Trouba

great deal

Yeah I was nervous at first, I figured he'd have gotten $6.5M. I was shocked he took a pay cut. That probably bodes well for Belmont, I'm sure he wouldn't have taken less money to get jerked around between two arenas for the last 5 good years of his career.

Its kind of nuts but I figured Lee would be 1st and then they would chose between Ebs and Nelson

I'm not in love with Lee. He's an awesome guy and I like him in that regard but he's 29, slow as dirt, and is a one-trick pony. I'd be super hesitant about giving him more than $7M and even more hesitant about giving him more than 5-6 years.

- nyrangers9479

Nah. I’d think it would be something like

Pick 20
Howden or Lias
Deangelo or Pionk (one of them is almost certain to go imo)

Anything more then that, id have to pass
