Re: Frank is signed!

Absolutely love this deal. We just locked up a top 10 goal scorer for the better part of a decade. The annual salary numbers look sort of odd....would like to know the logic behind it. I believe its lockout protection. The small numbers (5.5M) occur in years when a lockout is possible. At least tha...

Re: Is Lehtera a #1C?

No, he's not. I personally don't put Stastny with Tarasenko because I didn't think they looked good at all together when they played last year (maybe due to Stastny's injury though) and in the past Stastny has played his best with a big winger (Stewart, also Jaskin to a certain extent last season). ...

Yeah, ROR's contract made me worried that we would have to go up to 8 for Frank.

Re: Frank is signed!

According to Tom Timmerman, we have 1.2M in cap space (assuming Rattie and Lindbohm are on the roster) and still need to sign another forward. MPS' deal was for 1.4M, and if I'm not mistaken don't RFA contracts have to be a certain percentage more than the previous contract was for? Which would mean...

Re: Frank is signed!

Yeah, I have a feeling in a few years with salaries going up and everything this deal will look like a steal. If 7.5 mil in the NHL is considered a steal in a few years then the NHL will be in financial trouble and heading for a lock out. Maybe not "a steal" but good value none the less, ...

Re: Revisiting fast and reckless

The best game I've ever seen this team play under Hitch was that home opener against Detroit in the 48 game shortened season. That's the game film Hitch should be looking at! 8-) That was a great game. Tarasenko's debut scoring 2 goals and we scored 6 on the day Stan Musial passed away. I'll never ...

Re: Allen Signs 2 year deal

2.2 in the first year and 2.5 in the second year. This just makes me laugh at the Stars goalie situation. We have two better goaltenders than them (IMO) at half the price. I think that's a bit of a stretch. Lehtonen is top 15 in the league and widely considered one of the better goaltenders in the ...

Re: Oshie traded to Caps

So I take it we are keeping Bergy at this point? Haven't heard his name once and it appears he'll have to go on without his bestie TJ. Possibly, and I don't hate it either way. He can stay and play 3rd line or if we dump him we free up a spot for one of the kids. Weird to think that he is the only ...

Re: Oshie traded to Caps

For What it's worth, here's what a Hawks fan (Illinik )posted at BT on the trade. As a Hawk fan, I think you got equal value. Oshie never did a thing in games that count against the Hawks. Yes, he was one heck of a shootout performer, but that doesn't help squat in the post season. Troy Brouwer wil...

Re: brodziak

Solid signing--great 4th line center. People at the Asylum are complaining that "this means Brouwer will get pushed up to the 3rd line". Brouwer has 122 goals in the last 6 years. Why the fuck would they think he'd be a 4th liner? He even scored 19 in the shortened season. He scored more ...

Re: brodziak

I like Brodziak, I just hope it didn't cost too much. We have too much money in the 4th line already.

Re: Oshie traded to Caps

Mike Colligan ‏@MikeColligan 11m11 minutes ago #Pens considered package for TJ Oshie this weekend that included significantly more than ultimate return from #Caps (Brouwer, Copley, 3rd) All we heard coming from the Pens rumors was Sutter...and IMO there is no way a package revolving around Sutter i...

Re: Oshie traded to Caps

Brothers, I'm probably the biggest Oshie fan on this site, but I like this trade for several reasons. First, Troy isn't some 3rd liner, as he has three 20+ goal seasons under his belt, 2nd/3rd liner would be fairer statement. That said, he brings several things to the table that TJ didn't; Size, as...

Re: Oshie traded to Caps

The thing thats going to suck is that Oshie is going to put up career high numbers next year playing with Backstrom and Ovechkin and we'll have to listen to everyone say how bad of a trade this is.
