ATLL765 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'll guess 4 years 13 million. That would make it awfully similar to ones Zajac and Parise had. I think they both were around $3.33M before getting their raises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brodeur14301991 Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) User Actions Following James Mirtle@mirtle Adam Henrique's new deal is $24-million over six years. Interesting comparable with Kadri having similar NHL experience.

Triumph Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 A bit pricey but it will look positively cheap in 4 years when Henrique would have been going UFA. It's much better than getting a bridge contract but I would've liked to have seen either another year or a bit lower AAV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Nothing about Henrique right now says $4 million per year player to me. Lou took a bit of a gamble here. Definitely falls under the "Can't really judge this one for a while" category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Pricey, but Lou paid for the 2(?) UFA years. I hope he earns it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 we have about 4m in cap space now, i dont think they'll use it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Wow 4 mil is certainly more than we all thought. Only time will tell. Welcome back Henrique! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Wow. Surprised he got 4 a year, I was thinking something in the range of 4/12. But I'm not complaining. It 'aint my money and we locked up one of our young cornerstones for the foreseeable future. Color me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely falls under the "Can't really judge this one for a while" category. All depends on whether it hamstrings you from making other moves you otherwise would make. With the cap set to go up dramatically after this year, and only a few players currently on the roster that could plausibly be in a position to demand significant raises in the next few years (Larsson, Josefson, Loktionov and Schneider), I don't see this as an issue.

Definitely falls under the "Can't really judge this one for a while" category. The cap is artificially low at the moment and the Devils only have one forward signed past 2015-16. Henrique would've been UFA in 2017 - cap figures to be at least $75M by then, probably closer to $80M - if it's $80M, a $4m Henrique is equal to a 2.8M player under a 56M cap (i.e. what the NHL had in 2008-09 and 2009-10). It's a risk worth taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 No issue with the contract, especially since it buys a few UFA years at what will eventually be a "low" salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucifersDog Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) So much for Henrique didn't have any leverage. You know who said that. I am glad he signed now do you job Henrique and Zajac.

Derlique Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 In 4 years the cap will be around 80 million. If Henrique can be a 40-50 point player, it'll be a fair deal. I'm happy Lou bought some ufa years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH26 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 eh if Vanderbeek was stilll the owner and there were more $ problems, I'd be worried about the $ but with the big cap and owners who are solvent, I'll take the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
