Good for Nacho
No way he would’ve got that here.
Hilarious that they paid this for Marty but wouldn’t give Rantanen $12M
that is a lot of money for Necas
So now they get to experience the “no contract pressure, turnovers in the neutral zone, WTF is wrong w/Necas” full experience.
Love the guy, but where am I wrong?
Honestly, not terrible for Colorado. Yes, it’s not much less than what Rantanen got, but he likely wouldn’t have taken the same amount in Denver. The question is whether Necas can bolster his playoff performances, because that is an area in which he is way behind what Rantanen brings. At any rate, good for Nachos.
This number is going to get repeated a lot in the spring.
But good for my dude getting that bag.
I’m glad we didn’t do this.
Maybe it’s worth it for Colorado bc they can pair him with MacKinnon and I’m sure they’ll produce a ton of points but $11.5m for Necas is…. Something.
“Too rich for my blood”
HOLY OVERPAY.
So glad we didn’t do that.
Great for Marty, great for Cavs, good for Canes…. And an amazing “don’t let the door hit ya” from the disaster Bros for Mikko 😂
Very happy with how this whole saga played out for us ultimately
