good job! impressed with the kid on this. wonder what type of deals landeskog and headbure are getting

 

[devs30rko]

i'm STOKED about this.
think about it. nugent hopkins cap hit is over 3 mil because of his performance bonuses.


so larsson, being the other guy who could've gone number one should hear this and go, i can get that too.


yet no. he impresses, and lou impresses.

larsson does the thing devils mainstays do in taking less money for the good of the team.

lou shows he's still got a little bit of magic in his persuasion skills and getting people to buy into the philosophy here.



BIG praise to the both of them. BIG

Think rko, lou could have just offered Larsson the max deal with the max contract bonuses the day after, but gotten this taken care of a week earlier!

 

[devs30rko]

this really is just a big testament to the two of them. job well done.

This is excellent news.
I'm glad they got it done and hats off to both Lou and Larsson.

I really think Larsson wants to prove himself and by not taking any of the rookie bonuses shows he is more about hockey than just personal wealth.
Looks like we got a real gem without tanking the season last year.

It's amazing. Suck the first half, look like were all set up for first overall. Refuse to tank go on a streak to become the best team in the league the second half, then get Larsson. none of that makes any sense. But the hockey gods were smiling on us
