The term stinks, but that's the only way the AAV was kept lower than the AAV on his last deal.

Shouldn't surprise anyone that pays attention and it's a good deal for the short-term for sure. Hopefully, towards the end of the deal, it isn't buyout proof because I'm not super confident that Cizikas will be close to the same player then as he is now.

I think Zeeker still has about 3 real good years in him. Then the declination will begin. Not saying he'll completely fall off, but that's when we'll start to really see it.
It's a good deal for the short-term definitely. I don't think it's a bad deal at all. It shouldn't even handcuff the team later on. I think he'll still be serviceable towards the end of this contract.
Now let's get Sorokin & Beau done, see who Lou brings in to replace Leddy and get this season going.
What's going to be the parade route?

I think you and I had discussed that Casey’s deal will have extended terms and a Lower AAV’s. The cap freeze for the next couple years dictated that.
In terms of Casey’s deal, he probs gets 4.5 to 5 for 3 years in the open market and Lou pays him basically the same in total for 6 years. In year 4,5 or 6 the cap should go up. Casey stays where he and his Family want to stay/play and the Islanders keep the core player/s they want. Key to this is the players want to be here and love playing for this organization now.
It doesn’t happen without Lou turning this shat show around.

I really like this deal for us. Zeeker won't need to play he has for us the whole contract. That whole line is going to be done sooner than later. He can easily become the third line centre ( so long as skating keeps up ).

The 3rd line center thing didn’t work four years ago I doubt it’ll work three years from now. Guy is not a 3rd line center imo. Love Cizikas and this deal makes sense right now with the low aav but I think we’ll be looking for a way to shed his salary rather them move him up the lineup four years from now which is fine we’re in win now mode. Also, I can see cizikas working within the organization when he’s no longer playing.

Found big foot. How they taught him to play goalie, let alone skate, is amazing.

I never bet on my teams for fear of jinxing them, but those are damn good odds!!

Fortunately he doesn't have to play 3rd line center b/c we got JGP and Brock as 2C/3C.

Another #Isles contract that was agreed to but still on the "to be filed" list: Anthony Beauvillier has a three-year deal, believed to be worth around $4.1-million per, source said. @LPGeek posted on it a few days ago.

Bunch of other deals are done but not yet filed, of course.

The guy can certainly cover the top of the net.

Maybe Charles Wang wasn't totally crazy with his Sumo wrestler idea. After all, the shape of the goal is more horizontal than vertical.

I think that's a pretty good deal. He got less than a $500k raise

I didn't think Sorokin would get up to $4M, but I'm happy with that one too. All good news so far.

Sorokin's about $1m more than I'd have thought. But...Cizikas is about $1m less, so it all evens out. The others so far are all around what I was expecting/hoping for.
