[Friedman] Mason Appleton and WIN avoid arbitration with a 3 year deal. $2M, then two seasons of $2.25M (2.1667 AAV)

was not expecting an aav over 2, good for mase
Great deal for both sides!!
HUNGRY FOR APPLES?!

I like it. He’s a dependable player with some size and can slot in almost anywhere in the lineup, if needed. I wouldn’t expect him to play top 6 time long term but certainly middle 6.
Having a guy who can play those positions at that AAV should give us room to sign a big splash guy down the road
I didn’t think we’d be going to arbitration with a guy we traded back for from Seattle. Happy with some term here
How do you like them apples?
I think he can live up to 2.16 per, I like it
Anyone know if this takes him to UFA once it’s over?
If he has seasons like 20-21 this will be a very good value contract. If he has seasons like 21-22, it will not be a good value contract. I would put money on 20-21 being a better predictor of him than 21-22 though.
Hungry for 3 more seasons of apples!
A slight overpay in my opinion, but I’m happy to have him for three more seasons.
Friedman looks like a Jets fan who’s been staying up waiting for Chevy to do something.

I like Appleton. He’s not an elite scorer, but he tries hard and plays a good 2 way game.
I’m glad we got him locked up for a couple.
Someguy-Stastny-Appleton if they resign stastny
I miss the chaos line.
