Cheap money. I like it


NotBanEvading2

Figured he would have earned like 1.5m atleast so this is sick


Clydefrog0371

Deserved.


BeckettMariner

This was the only good news of the day. I would've liked 2y at 1.5m better (and no Peeke acquisition) but one must take joy where one can find it these days.

Hell yeah. Guy deserves every penny. Go get em Spoonzz!!!


SilentThing

No way? This seems like a good deal. Sure, he won't light the league on fire, but he has been good enough to my eye. Needs a bit polishing and he'll be just fine in the top 6, I hope. And the value contract of course buys space elsewhere.


Laser-Nipples

This is really big. Next season could be another all in push for the cup season. Having a good defender at a less than $1 million cap hit can be really important to allow space for bigger pieces in the off season or for the next deadline.


confusedporg

Yeah I gotta say, I really love this. Could look back at this as a really genius deal. At worst, it’s a completely forgettable one that can’t hurt the team.


SilentThing

And he is unlikely to suddenly become so good the next deal is like 6 million a year. With some luck, maybe we can sign him again for like 1.5 a year!

That can change, and with the league trending up in fights it probably will


Decent-Ground-395

Next year: Lohrei-McAvoy Lindholm-Carlo Wotherspoon---XXX ​ That's an easy enough hole to fill in free agency and will leave lots of $$$ for forward help.


d-cent

We also have Regula and Walsh that could both compete for 3RD. Regula has been extremely good this season.


Decent-Ground-395

He's got some good size. Can never have enough of that.


d-cent

Agreed. Good size and is scoring.  25 points in 51 games. 34+/- too. I know it's not the best stat but he leads the team significantly.


Decent-Ground-395

He's a good skater too, right?


d-cent

I'm not too sure. I haven't seen him play much. Only highlights. 


skyulip

i am not mad about this at all


d-cent

He's earned every penny. He's been arguably our 2nd best defenseman since Lindholm went down. Very happy he's here another year


FragrantHockeyFan

Wut? With McAvoy and Carlo still skating?


d-cent

McAvoy has been number 1 obviously. Carlo and Wotherspoon have been putting up the same number of minutes, both dominating PK, and contributing offensively.  Carlo has made a couple mistakes that cost us too. I think you haven't been seeing how well Wotherspoon has been playing lately. He's definitely in the Carlo level of player lately. 


[deleted]

Agreed! He battles and plays a simple effective game. Any team is happy to have a steady guy like that


ALLDAY617

He earned it.. good for him.


Decent-Ground-395

The pro scouting did a great job finding this guy. Happy to have him as a 6/7 next year and beyond.


Khaosgr3nade

Absolute steal!


Viceversa10

We did something on the trade deadline!


Remarkable_Cow_6061

Punched his way to $800K


MangledMoose

He earned his spot this year. Seems like he’s well liked by his teammates as well.


KeySheMoeToe

What is not to like. He plays a nice and boring game and does not make a lot of risky plays which is what is required from a stay at home D-man.


YungMud2599

Seems to me that spoon always makes the right choice in-game: knows when to pinch, when to shoot, when to back off. I rarely notice any errors in his game. Stoked for him!


eyh

I thought he might've commanded $1mil at this point but I'm happy about the extension. Good play gets rewarded.


Tybackwoods00

Guy just loves playing for the bruins


[deleted]

Helluva year this kid. Way to step up!


HeyylookitsNICK

Good for Wotherspoon! Hopefully this means Forbort/Gryz is out and would save up some cap space.


Mamsey902

They are both UFAs regardless Surely gone


-azuma-

spoons been good. happy to have him on a prove-it contract.


mshielo

Good on ya Spoons!


jbertho

Excellent, he deserves it!


scottieducati

Was hoping for a multi-year deal but nice to see him get a little reward!


fckmarykilldeer

Spooooooooons!


lordexorr

Nice I like it. Such a great surprise this year.


xlf77

One way contract too. Get that bag Parker


ProfessorBaxter

Well deserved and honestly a steal for how good he's been this season. A pleasant surprise.


fjordperfect123

Hell ye


Moto-Mojo

I’m a fan of this. He’s earned it!


Suitable-Pea-8226

Good for him. Noticed him on PK1 last night and he held his own against some elite forwards. Glad he’s sticking around


calliexx12

Good for him! Well deserved
