Is this a real extension?

Captain Mika, surely.

BREAKING: Rangers, Zibanejad agree on extension, Post has learned, eight years in the range of $8.5M per...A year or two more than NYR would have preferred, but allows the AAV to be workable...Should put a damper on Eichel talk.

Is the source.

The Eichel rumors officially die today. HOORAYY!!!

So there's 3.9million (well, 4.9million with the projected 1mil cap raise) on the books for Kravstov and a 3rd or 4th line center. Though, I really can't see Blais signing for the same AAV as he currently has. And this is all of course if we do let Strome walk.

Yup it’s dead

makar signed 6x9, i have to think if fox gets 9, it’s at a shorter term like that, but at 8 it would be 10+

Hometown discount

makar took a discount compared to his market value and still ended up at 9mx6.

Makar definitely did not take a discount. He’s one of the highest paid defenseman in the league. Less than $8.5 mil would have been a discount. He set himself up to cash in huge again at 26-27. You’re entitled to your opinion as I am mine and I think Fox takes a discount. You don’t have to like it or agree with me, but that’s what I think.

Fox fought his way to NY… don’t see him having all that much leverage in wanting to go elsewhere
