Shocked they got this much term for such a low cap hit.

I think it’s a slight overpay NOW. But by the end of it, he’ll be a $5 mil player. This is a nice piece of work.

Ed: I thought he signed for 4.35 per yr.

Wow. I'm actually shocked at that number -- that's a very solid contract.

I preferred 3 years to avoid the Fabbro / Myers / Carrier re-signings in 2 years, so kudos Poile. I was expecting something north of $2m -- in my posts, I normally do 3 x $2.75m, so this is a fantastic price negotiated by Poile.

Really happy with this signing -- can't say enough good things about it. No risk and potential for a huge reward.

He was on pace for 23 goals and 45 points this season over 82 games. If $1.45m is an overpay for that, I'll overpay every day of the week.

It’s not 1.45 it’s…
Nvm I read that as 4.35 per year

So that’s my fault

Yeah, I would have guessed the only way Tolvy would sign for less than $2M would be on a one year prove-it contract. I thought Poile only robbed defensemen's agents this badly.

No worries!

I would definitely agree $4.35m per year would have been an overpay -- but $1.45m is probably an underpay even at his current level.

LMAO, I thought the same thing, when I first saw the tweet. Didn't think there was any way it was $4.35 for the total of the contract.

Must be a mistake. nhl.com is reporting it's $4.35M total.

13.05M$ total 😕

Why on earth pay him 4.35m a year? This league makes no sense.
