They are definitively the two biggest pieces of shat in the league. There’s no question.

I mean, $5.5 is fine I guess. Maybe a little long.

- BINGO!

They probably wanted to give him four but settled on five to keep the cap hit down. I'm more than fine with this. I didn't (and don't) think it was worth giving him a raise given his age, but at 500k less on the cap I'm totally fine giving him the extra year.

Not saying it makes anything a guarantee, but I wonder what this means for Lee. It may not be a "bad" sign, but I definitely wouldn't call it a good one either.

I love this deal!!!! He is going to have a monster season this year. Monster!!

Leave it to b.d. to kill a deal

Additional note... also Eberle signing shows not much trust in Bellows supplanting him anymore. Bellows season in AHL was that catastrophic. #isles

Eberle at 5x$5.5m is pretty good value. Still leaves the #Isles with room to add even if Lee/Lehner return, but the cap space is dwindling. Might mean LL is looking to make trades to improve rather than free agency.

BD is a fat dipshit, Eberle is a RW and Bellows is a LW. A six year old could debunk his idiotic rationale

Bellows was never a 2 way guy.. just a sniper. That will not work in Trots world so he had a tough time adjusting to that role. Seemed to have a good playoff.. hoping he will continue to get better on the Defensive side b/c the kid can still score.

* Full NTC years 1 & 2, Mod NTC in years 3 to 5 (16 team no trade)

Just like Nelson, he gets a full NTC in the first two years and that changes to a modified NTC after that. Good deal, good start to the offseason so far.

Actually I think 2yrs ago, playing on the worlds junior team, they asked him to play a shut down role and successfully did his job, wouldnt call him just a sniper

Can he be exposed for expansion draft or has to be protected?

Bellows is not off to a good start, BD isn't wrong about that. He had a bad year in BPT. That said, the Eberle signing has absolutely nothing to do with that given the fact that they play two different positions.

Bellows was never a high-end prospect, so this shouldn't really be a huge deal for anyone. He's going to need time, maybe this year + another in BPT before he's potentially ready to be an NHL player.

- Hell_Bent

He can be exposed. Only players that absolutely have to be included in the protected pool are guys with no movement clauses.
