Chabot signs a new 8 year, 8 million per contract!

We've been through a lot.

This is thread worthy.

I personally am sitting here absolutely stunned that they inked him to that kind of deal. Below value IMO and the term is wonderful.

Unreal!

I just saw it online almost yelled at work so awesome

My buddy texted me to tell me and I legit didn't believe it.

Yup no complaints there. I didn't think there was much chance he'd go elsewhere, but nice to see it actually happen

No back or front loading, no bonuses, no lockout protection. And Melnyk can trade for picks in 4 years (10-team limited NTC in the last 4 years).

Yeah, please no.

Great deal for everyone. Furthers the notion that Eugene will be selling

Brady Tkachuk on Chabot’s new deal: “It’s an awesome day and we know he’s going to be paying for a lot of dinners now so I’m very happy to be a close friend of his.”

I imagine Brady will get something similar. Probably in the $6-7.5M range.

Same exact contract IMO.

Ohhh, I dunno about that. Chabot has elite potential. Tkachuk has 'star' potential and plays a much more physical game. But I Brady has two years to prove his worth. I think he ends up closer to $7M.

The thing that's gonna make Tkachuk so attractive is that he plays the game the way you need it played to win in the playoffs. Not only does he have excellent skill, but he plays with a chip on his shoulder, he appears committed and he's Cussing HUGE - and he'll only get stronger.

I think teams who realize they need to get over the hump to win a championship will be killing themselves to get this guy - and I also think he hits 30+ goals because he's so big and so aggressive that if you're not a big, burly D-man, you will lose the battle with him and he'll get prime scoring opportunities.

We'll see, I just want to sign him long term when the time comes, I don't care if it's 7 or 8, but I have a feeling it'll be a big contract.

In 2 years' time $8M will be the new $7M anyway.
