Offseason Notes JUNE
The
Vegas Golden Knights have announced a contract extension for goalie
Frederik Andersen. He will make $5.97M per season for 5 years. The 28 year old netminder had a solid season for Vegas, playing the majority of games for them and finishing with a .921 save percentage, a 29.81 GSAA and 3 shutouts. What will Vegas do with Marc-Andre Fleury? The 33 year old will have three more years of a $5 Million cap hit but he has clearly been replaced as the starter.
John Tavares has signed a seven year extension with the
New York Islanders at an AAV of $5.66M. There were some rumours that he would test free agency and maybe go home to play for Toronto but in the end he gave the team that drafted him a stellar deal and commits to them for the rest of his prime. Tavares had 68 points last season.
Boston's
Torey Krug has agreed to terms on a five year $6.35M per year deal that will include a No Trade Clause. Krug has established himself as one of the premier offensive defensemen in the league and had an incredible playoff run as well, with 22 points in 18 games.
