I like it for the Peg, yes it's a big hit but with players at Buffs age wanting term it's a good deal. Buff had a lot of leverage in negotiations I believe due to the teams circumstances. Every player signed for big money into their mid to late 30's is always a risk. He's versatile and put him in front of the net if he loses a step.

Now the Jets should move Trouba for Hamonic and they should be in the playoffs next year. Signing Trouba long term could be a gamble they cant take.
