That’s fine and makes sense. EA GM in me wanted it at the baked in “yes” discount at just shy of 2 million but whatevs. He means a lot to this group and helps keep dad vibes in check. When they gave him the C there was no way he wasn’t getting resigned
Well deserved! A great leader on and off the ice. I’m happy he’s back for at least another year!
The money obviously in inconsequential, but really thought he should retire. Would’ve liked to see a young guy in his spot
I imagine Zemgus is gone, which is fine.
I want a solid 4th line but I also want room for guys to have a chance next year.
Not sure how I feel. On one hand, his locker room presence is great and is a clear leader. On the other hand, he’s starting to look really slow. I’ll be curious on his role in the lineup this year.
One last shot at the playoffs for him. Hope he can stay healthy.
Not surprised, great leader and trying to give him one last chance to make playoffs with this team!
I dont really know where he slots in anymore…he did not look great this past season
nice! he definitely looked slower this year but i was hoping for a deal like this, the locker room loves him and we finally have playoff expectations, which i’m sure he’d love to help break the drought before he’s done. he’s also only 16 games away from 1000, and 8 points away from 600
$2.5 million is probably a liiiiiitle more than what I’d pay for Okposo, but the one year deal is what’s important here.
