That’s future captain Victor Hedman to you!
Glad to have Heddy sticking around, losing him after Stammer would have made this sub explode.
Listening to JBB interview yesterday he seemed pretty confident this would get done, but I am pleased they got it done the very next day. Happy to have Heddy back. Still trying to disconnect my emotion from the right business move for 91.
Would’ve liked to see a slightly lower aav but glad he’s sticking around. The cap is predicted to rise a lot the next few years so it should be fine
That’s my captain
Excellent, now to see what final touches JBB is going to make with the remaining cap space. Or maybe there are no moves coming and he holds onto the cap space for future trade purposes, who knows, but it’s going to be fun to watch.
While it should have been 91 and 77, at least we get to see Heddy retire a Bolt. Our next captain for the next 4 years. Well deserved.
Maybe Stamkos comes back for 1 year and they retire together. That’d be cool
not to rehash the stamkos stuff, but this must especially sting because like hedman, he arguably took a discount and probably expected to be repaid at the end like this. as cold blooded and frugal as jbb was with stamkos he had no problem giving hedman the cushy retirement contract.
obviously thrilled for hedman. guy can still play even if he’s older
O Captain my Captain
Surprised he’s getting a raise, but good for him. I’m glad one of the boys gets to retire a bolt.
Leafs fan, I love Hedman he’s so good. Captain no doubt, the cut-throat decisions and ignoring of “loyalty” is the killer mindset teams need to have. Sucks to lose Stamkos but team is better with guentzel for sure. Love to see NBA style moves and drama in the NHL from one team
Happy with this move but is 8mil too much or just right? Certainly not a discount not that we expect him to take one.
Exact contract Stamkos got? Oof that’s a slap in the face to stammer.
I love this. Just sucks we couldn’t keep Stammer too. Ain’t gonna complain though. Give the C to Heddy
McDonugh is going to be the new captain guys hate to break it to you, downvote me all you want.
