Barzal signs 8 year extention

  1. We kept our franchise player. Everyone saying 9.15 AAV is a huge overpay but the cap is rising so I donā€™t mind it

  2. Holy shit they actually did itā€¦ they got a star player to sign an extension. And at a reasonable deal.

    Lou probably just saved his job with that move.

  3. this is the longest contract the Isles have given out since DiPietro right? Obviously a bit different with the 8 year limit these days

  4. Good deal for both sides! Barzal gets security and a payday, Isles get their franchise player for basically the prime of his career and they can build around him once this core ages out in a year or two.

    And now we can all exhale that our star is sticking around.

  5. Thrilled! I had a feeling when he said he was hoping to have an extension done by the start of the season, that it was basically a done deal.

  6. A franchise player saying he wants to stay and actually means it, you love to see it

  7. I love watching Mat play. I am really glad I get to see him do it as an Islander for a long time.

  8. Time will tell deal. Guy has unbelievable skill and does things no one else can doā€¦ but it often doesnā€™t lead to production. Hoping it will be a steal deal 3-4 years from now if they can get a wing for himā€¦ but has the potential to be a huge commitment for 60 pts a year and a pass first mentality.

    -Would we be happy if another 15-20 goal 35-50 point guy had this deal? Probably not
