As per Dreger kessel gets 8 years 8mil deal.

Lot's of cash.

[XPOFAN]

I think this will look like a bad deal sooner rather than later,

[habsforever]

It could. That's a lot money for a long time.

It's just a feeling, but he doesn't strike me as someone who will stay good for 8 more years.

I agree and good for him is 30 goals 80 points per season. He is getting paid like a superstar now in a big hockey marekt. If he doesn't bring it all the time, he will hear about it.

PHI signs Hal Gill to 1 year deal with an AAV of $700K

[DonKay]

That's also a hard contract to move if anything comes up and both parties want to part ways

I guess teams haven't learned from the Luongo one.

8mil for 8 years for a guy who has never scored 40 goals and has had one 82 point season.

"Oh shit, I was wrong about Kessel leaving Toronto for nothing... better switch gears and call it a mistake to resign him!"

My thoughts. This is WAY too much money for kessel. Nonis is a moron.

[worm]

8 million for a young top 10 scoring UFA to be.... sounds reasonable

people are going to lose it when subban signs

LOL seriously get a life.

Was I wrong? Some what. The rules changed. The leafs could offer him a contract that no other team could.

Subban has won a Norris. kessel has not won a thing.

I won't be happy if PK gets 8mil.

Everybody says everybody is overpaid.

Kessel is in line with his peers (adjusting for inflation).

Nash, Parise, Gaborik, etc

Sure they are all over-paid. I just don't think phil should of gotten that much. he's a 6.5-7mil player imo.

How many guys in the league are making 7.5 plus a year?
