I like this deal. Good that they got their best defenseman locked up for the next 4 years at a reasonable price.

Now if the Canucks can sign Hughes for a similar amount I will be very happy.

Reasonable contract and term? AND he's a RHD? Wtf?
At least he'll be able to afford a computer now so he can see how ridiculous his contract should have been.

Based on my poor math, that leaves around 5M of capspace to sign Copp.

I send Vesalainen down (waiver exempted) and Niku on waiver/traded (too many Dmen).

Really interesting trend some players are taking this year with the flat cap. That's the third higher end player in a few days to take 5-6 mil in a late RFA contract but keep it at 3-4 years to be able to still get a big UFA deal.

It's quite the gamble as they perhaps could have gotten more term and if they decline or get injured they probably gave up a lot.

Flipside is if they continue their play (no improvement even needed) at 28-30 (Pionk will be the oldest of the three), they'll likely be able to get a large 5-6 year deal in a larger cap environment.

Good on them for betting on themselves.

Pretty similar to what Krug got, even though I hate this guy I this is fairly reasonable.

Just how bad was the Pink for Trouba trade for the NYR? Not only did they give up a better defenseman at more than $2M less AAV, they gave up a 1st round pick, used to select a future top 4 D Ville Heinola. Just poor cap management by the Rangers and more short-sighted, instant gratification that has plagued this organization for decades.
