if this means the Rags aren't going to be boring as hell to watch this year with Breadman, Kakko, Trouba, when they're on NBC Sports every day I'm fine with it.
When you're on a rebuilding team you have to give at least slightly more, it's really a fair deal for both IMO.
Ya good point I would think closer to seven for him. I just hate giving out long term for d-men. See: staal, marc
I feel like he could've asked for more and just went to FA instead, seems like he wanted to be there and you had to give a little more. It's only 7yrs, there's no way the cap doesn't rise enough in half of that to make it seem like less of a big deal.
Damn, what a fall from grace for Neal. Two years ago he’s on cloud nine with Vegas and an awesome season. A year later he’s traded 1:1 for fucking Lucic. Incredible stuff.
