    Unbelievable. Talk about team friendly. He’s gonna be more than worth every penny.

  2. MightyMiami

    Wow. What a steal. That’s a guy who loves it here, knows his value, and doesn’t give a fuck about the open market.

  3. WildinBham

    I like that AAV to be honest. I’m not totally in love with the term, but I get it. He’ll be a solid 3C for a long time.

  4. Quackmotard

    Solid for him and the team. He’s a very underrated player imo, knows his role, versatile

  5. dakotahjohnson

    5 years is a tad long imo but to lock him in at 2.1 was worth it. Minimal cap effects if something goes untoward in the later years

    $2.1 million AAV for a defensively responsible center with 17 goals on the season. Oh and hes a shootout king. I am stoked by this

    “Freddy, if you score one goal tonight, we’re moving forward with the deal”

    Was hoping for $1 x 8 but I suppose this will do. Billy G strikes again.

  9. technobeeble

    Love it. Good deal for both sides I feel.

  10. Submarine_Pirate

    Jesus Christ Billy does it again. Freddy, fire your agent dude. You’re worth more than that.

  11. Gullible_Flounder877

    Hell yes! Let’s Go Freddy!!!

  12. Wildguy2298

    Must like playing here, and that is fine with me.

  13. Nazerys

    Good for him but I was hoping this team didn’t need Freddy in 3 years. 5 is a long time.

  14. MothafuckinWizard

    Wife just said she would buy his jersey and i said babe he can go get more money if he wants to hes too good for us. What a sign.

  15. dakralter

    Love the deal. Even if he eventually gets put in a 4th line role towards the end of the deal, 2.1 million won’t be tough to swallow once the Parise/Suter buyouts clear and the cap goes up.

    Hopefully a Gus extension is soon as well.

  16. Hotel_Putingrad

    Is that just the shootout clause portion?

  17. MrDrProfPatrickJrSr

    What an absolute steal. Best news I’ve heard in a while

  18. OlGrizzzzzzz

    Bill G getting things done. We have some GREAT contracts!

  19. Force_Radish

    Freddy seems to have a little more pep tonight

  20. _BeerAndCheese_

    Very solid deal! No way anyone anywhere else could get him for less.

    I was very doubtful of him at first, but the points he’s secured for us in the SOs alone is worth 2 mil.

    Just went from six to midnight. When will Billy get his extension?

  22. Panarin10

    Holy shit this is an incredibly team friendly AAV. What a lad.

  23. ClairvoyantArmadillo

    What the fuck. Holy shit what a fucking steal. Good god.

  24. IamKEIL

    That’s awesome. Did Gaudreau sign this in-between periods in the locker room or while he was on the bench?

  25. AwesomesaucePhD

    Does this affect signing Filipino Gustavsson?

  26. Wait he didn’t actually sign it on the bench right

  27. jonn_jonzz

    That’s my dad you are talking about.

  28. Tiger5804

    This is the type of deal championships are won with. There is more work to be done, but stuff like this and the Hartman deal are the reason we aren’t rebuilding despite 14M cap down the drain.
