4 years for Jordan is...odd.

 

Unpopular take I know but even at that number, he doesn't have 4 years in him I don't think. At least not at the level of play we expect out of him. He's entering that Justin Williams return to Carolina territory where sure he'll lead us, win faceoffs and generally be a great guy, but it's time. I'm fine for next season, but if we need a spark, his spot is literally the spot to inject somebody fresh imo.

Heard on 100.9 that Aho and the team are closing in on an extension as well. Pesce should be done this week. 

Pesce about to be gone. No shot we can afford him after inking Aho. Could be wrong, but that means our lines are gonna look different quickly.

I think those last two years are going to suck but Jordo should be good for the first two.

It's a deal that almost guarantees he retires a Cane and also provides him a nice parachute when he does.

This. He’s basically getting 5.8 for two years is my guess. Or 11.6 if we win a cup this season.

Those last two years may see Jordo play 4th line C and situational hockey for crucial face offs etc. 

Of course he could surprise us and still be playing at a decent clip in years 3 and 4.

He's steady, a great presence in the locker room and our best FO man.  Glad it got done.

Honestly, I think jordo is 3c until he retires, at least if Rod is still around. We all thought he was done in the Covid years, in yet he’s still proven to be a powerhouse.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
