  1. In 2-3 years, this will be the best contract in hockey if not next year. I was a little worried about Forsling, Reinhart, and Montour all being UFA’s but this is a huge step in the right direction if we are trying to retain all three guys.

  2. I would lay down my life for bill Zito.
    Best GM in the league and we are spoiled

  3. Zito lays an egg on the Golden Goose! 5.75?!? Thats free-er than Tarasenko was comparatively. He’s worth 9. Hes the best actual defender on earth. I figured theyd florida him down to like 7 or so. But 5.75? Free. This is outrageously good. Cup contenders for the foreseeable future.

  4. Anyone that understands cap-fu better than me.. will this deal hurt our chances for Reino’s extension? 

  5. With the amount of buy in these guys have I wouldn’t be surprised if Zito had very candid conversions during negotiations about what hey could all get paid to keep the core together. Forsling taking a team friendly deal puts the ball in Reinhart’s court to do the same

  6. I’ve been debating who to get on my next jersey

    at this point I’m gonna get Zito #20
