Kessel extended, 2 years, 1 way, $800k AAV (1.6M total)



Thrilled we locked him up for another 2 seasons. Hopefully he can develop into a full time top 4 defenseman.

    Can’t hate on that. Young d-man that generally played a solid game for cheap. Not sure why anybody would have an issue with this deal.

    He will be an RFA with arbitration rights in the end. Kinda expected aav and term, but I’m not complaining. He popped this year when he played with the big club, and hopefully 800k the next 2 years could offset some of the larger contracts.

    Solid signing. Easily slides into the third pairing next season and hasn’t looked bad on the second pairing at times.

  4. Is he Scandella’s replacement or does he crack top 4 next year?

    They could do a lot worse than 2 more years of Matt kessel.
