Good sign
Whoa
4M aav is a bargain these days
Fantastic!

Return of the Mac!
4.1 should age fine. Great deal
Three years at 4.1 million.
4.1 is a steal.
McDonagh deserves so much more credit as a shutdown defender than he gets league-wide. Really happy we got him back and get him for another 3 seasons for that price.
N 🧊
MORE MAC TRUCK!
I love waking up to this kind of news!! #GoBolts
Looks like Yanni’s deal…. financial certainty until the end of the multi-year contract or they choose to retire. Good for all…
4 shcmil me likey
love this deal. hope mcd asked for a full nmc lmao
Sweet.
That’s a happy Christmas deal for both sides!
Yes!!!!! Love Mac Daddy
Mac truck is one of the best defensive defense men in the league. I wish he got the same recognition as Slavin and got to play in the 4 nations tourney.
This is fantastic. His family and him clearly love it here and he’s a warrior. Sure, he’ll slow down as he approaches 40 but his compete level won’t drop.
Incredibly common JBB W
$4.1 million for a reliable Defence Defenceman who plays with a D first mentality is great.
I can see him being still a Top 6/7th D when his new contract is done.
Obviously the only question mark is the staying healthy part as he gets older.
Always liked McD as a defenceman with his Hockey IQ for defending. The stat year hes been having is just the cherry ontop.
~$2 million saved which hopefully can be used to extend Moser.
