Re: The NHL Thread
 

this is my point

great signing by the pens IMO, but i'm perplexed by the 1-year

i'm still a little surprised they even pursued a defensman in FA

Re: The NHL Thread
 

And at $4 mil/per. Good for him. Amazing what one reasonably strong postseason can do.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

ahhhh nvm stupid fakes

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I was too. Came out of nowhere. Good signing by Rutherford.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Nisky is going to get paid. But whoever does it will probably regret it in a year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Buffalo needs to spend about $21mil to get to the floor. keep that in mind.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Maybe he feels he'll have a great year and get even more $$ a year from now.
$10mil for Brian Gionta maybe.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Give us all the shitty 2 year contracts!!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

it worries me about the farm system though

it's still clogged up with fairly young D-men, and there's only 1 new spot on the blue line after the erhoff signing

so, when maata comes back, you'd have what?

letang-martin
erhoff-maata
scuderi-bortuzzo

??

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Scuderi :lol :lol :lol

sorry

Re: The NHL Thread
 

i'm thinking more from the pens perspective, i guess 1-year makes sense but i was thinking more along the lines of 3 years...oh well, we'll see

Re: The NHL Thread
 

dude...i know

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm wondering if they move someone like Scuderi (if someone will take him). If not, at least Ehrhoff is only on the 1 year deal.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I dont see Scuds lasting long, he just is not going to fit in, especially at his cost. Theres also been rumors about trading Martin. Erhoff's possession stats are great, and he is a better ppqb than letang and martin.
pp: Hornqvist - Crosby - Malkin

Letang - Erhoff

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol moving scuderi seems impossible

i would not want them to trade marting, i love what he brings

and what would they do with scuds? just cut him i guess? seems impractical with their cap issues, no? just thinking out loud here

Re: The NHL Thread
 

One RT I saw that Caps might be close to signing Nisk. Must be good money because Detroit and Tampa can pay him and are much better positioned to win now.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Gorges to BUF. Poor guy... didn't want to leave MTL in the first place.

Maybe to NYI? Need experience and to get to cap floor

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Gorges had a NMC i believe....Buffalo was one of his teams he would go to I believe.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yep. He did.

EDIT: What does it tell you about the state of the Leafs when Gorges wouldn't waive his NMC to go to TOR but would for BUF? :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Gorges turned down Toronto and accepted Buffalo :lol :lol :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Stastny to STL

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I wouldnt want to move him either, but the return he might fetch could be good for our forward depth. Someone would take scuds. two time cup winner, teams that need to add space.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow. 7mil per but only 4 years. Surprises me.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

STASTNY TO BLUES.

Sad day. But I get it. $7 mil/ 4years. Got paid, good for him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Cammalleri to Devils. 5 yrs/$25

Re: The NHL Thread
 

hopefully Stastny can play goal, or D...or anything that he doesn't already play.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Jussi Jokinen to FLA

Re: The NHL Thread
 

can't wait to see who overpays for Bolland.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Boyle to Rangers

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Brad Stuart to Colorado.....for who knows what yet
