    Dude must have bought Steve’s lunch when they had that road trip from GR or something, this seems a bit high

    Eh, probably a hair more than I’d have liked, but it’s fine. He’s a useful player who isn’t a black hole on offense and brings some speed which is lacking throughout the roster. I think he and Motte could be a duo that makes the opposition work a little harder if they play together.

  3. mentalicca

    There were games last year where he looked on the cusp of breaking out. This seems to be a do or die contract.

  4. Busy-Drawing-2576

    him and Ras both getting a little above market value.

  5. redlion1904

    Damn, good for him but feels a bit high.

  6. Confident-Secret8962

    was hoping he’d sign for 2 mil exactly or slightly below, this is an overpay by 275k or 300k at most and people are freaking out lol. Never change.

    This does open the second buyout window since OP is spreading misinformation on the internet. You get the second buyout window regardless of if the player is awarded a contract or settles, as long as they sign.

    He had a nice season for us. Probably our 2nd best skater behind Larkin. He hits and blocks shots. And he’s only 24. I think in 2 years when this contract ends he could do exactly what Copp does for us now, but cheaper and probably better.

  8. wiffleyoshi17

    If he can snag as many goals as Fabbri and continue the all around game, this will be a great contract. We were paying Fabbri 5 mils

  9. I know a lot of people here couldn’t care less about JFV, but I’m happy about this. He’s been one of my favorites since the Mo-Jo Show.

  10. VHDLEngineer

    I didn’t think they’d go over one year or two million. I was definitely underestimating that one.

    Now leaves 17,648,194 for Berggren/Raymond/Seider. I doubt we see Raymond and Seider both get eight year deals unless they use the buyout window or make another move now.

    That’s a faith contract. Do you believe in Joey fucking Veleno?

  12. patjs92

    I don’t hate it. While it’s a bit high I do buy Veleno having a little more offensive game he’s yet to tap into.

  13. Agreeable_Abroad_82

    With Fabbri traded, they sorely needed to keep at least one solid eyebrow set on the team. 10/10 signing.

  14. bestprocrastinator

    Feels like a tad rich for him, but not problematic for us rich.

  15. GiantDongDK

    No biggie. Gives Veleno a chance to prove his mettle. If he can play as well as he did at certain points last season but more consistently than this is a good deal and two years is nothing. Not like it’s stopping us from signing some game breaking player still sitting in FA. Could see him topping out at 40-45 points and If we get that out of him I think it was a great signing, not just good.

  16. BeautifulPlace2Drown

    Good news. Now we just have to tie up SeiMond

  17. Jesusberg

    I really thought it’d fall in the 1.8-2.0M range, but it’s no big deal. If it wasn’t for the Mo and Raymond extensions, I don’t think anyone would really care about the number. It’ll be interesting to see what happens now, though.

    Wouldn’t say 8-year deals are completely off the table, but they’ll have to shed salary to make them work at this stage.

  18. KJTheDayTrader

    I feel it’s a bit too much, but for two years, it’s whatever

    I feel it’s a bit too much, but for two years, it’s whatever

    Prepare for Joey Poison revenge tour. Eyebrows included.

  21. onbiver9871

    Wait, is this settled before the hearing? Or they got to arb?

    Either way, not bad IMO. Two more years of JFV (or a half a season and a trade lol).

  22. No_Pride2506

    Feels like an overpayment. I’m surprised he got two years.

  23. mrwolfisolveproblems

    This team needs defense, and he’s a solid bottom 6 forward who can back check, win puck battles, etc. Obviously it would be good if everyone subbed for less, but I don’t hate this deal.
