3 years, 1.5 aav.

Holy bargain

[RizzeeDizzee]

I know that jaw dropping is an overused term, but that is a jaw droppingly great deal for the Preds. He must really want to stay, or think they can win a cup.

David Poile managed to pull off another great extension? What a surprise...

[Axeman33]

This could be unreal value id Rinne isnt extended when his deal expires next summer.

Surprised Saros didn't take a 1yr deal because of this.

Time will tell I suppose. Maybe they all know something we don't.

Geezus, the rich get richer.. This guy seems to be destined for a bright future.. What next?? Ellis signs for 8 years, $5 mill per?? HaHa

[CascadeFilly]

What in the world is Saros thinking? Great, great deal for the Preds.

[Doug Glatt]

Re-signing Rinne to an extension at his current AAV looks pretty doable now.

I am I selling Saros short. I have always seen him as Jonas Enroth part II. Am I being 'size-ist'? I have lots of short friends. I like short people. LOL

Enroth was the young 5'10 back up to perennial all-star Ryan Miller. Before that, he was the starting goalie for the Swedish U20, played in net for Sweden as a teenager then for the national team in his 20's. I see Saros as following this same path (only Finnish) and I somewhat discount him as a future NHL star. It certainly is not fair to just call him Enroth and that is that. Saros is his own person. Am I way off?

Tell me what to think!!

[FantasyKing]

i thought he was getting at least 2.5 . good deal for the preds

[lucafen4]

sick deal for the Preds... what does Poile promise these guys to all seemingly take cuts (well everyone but Johansen)

[als_revenge]

I'm mildly surprised - not so much at the dollars, but the term. 3 years? I thought he'd do 1 or 2 years. But I always thought the Preds would re-sign Rinne to a short-term deal.

Saros hasn't made much money in the NHL - so I guess a guaranteed $4.5 million is hard to turn down.

[Belexus75]

this just means they are not ready to move on from PR...he will resign to and Saros will need to wait 3 years to be a starter.

Free Kenny Rogers chicken??

Saros is now a very enticing trade target for teams needing a goalie. Would love him on the Flyers.
