Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Edmonton picked up Scrivens for a 3rd round pick. It might move the Oilers into 5th from last overall, but it doesn't fix their defense. But, does anyone else think that LA gave Scrivens away for pretty cheap???
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

Scrivens will wish he was playing behind the leaves defence.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

I agree. So, did he Jeff Brown someone's wife in LA? Why was he traded so cheap and to such a crappy team??Topper wrote:Scrivens will wish he was playing behind the leaves defence.

Cheap? He returned a draft pick that is probably going to end up in the 61-70th overall range.Tciso wrote:I agree. So, did he Jeff Brown someone's wife in LA? Why was he traded so cheap and to such a crappy team??Topper wrote:Scrivens will wish he was playing behind the leaves defence.
He's unrestricted at the end of the year and has proven relatively little (except that he can thrive behind the league's best defense).
I'd guess that at this point in the year most teams willing to give anything up for a goaltender probably want someone with a longer resume than Scrivens so the market was probably limited and I'd also guess the Kings don't mind giving whatever games Quick doesn't start to Martin Jones who will actually be around next year.
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
He did well in Toronto last season too. Yes, his resume is short, with only 3 years in the league. But, watching him play, I still say that a 3rd rounder was cheap.dbr wrote:Cheap?

** In my opinion, most trades involving goalies under-value the goalie.

Sharks get Thornton (3 years at $6.75m per) and Marleau (3 years @ $6.66m per) deals done.
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
What? Both shorter term and less $ than the Sedins signed for? Another fail by Gillis.dbr wrote:Sharks get Thornton (3 years at $6.75m per) and Marleau (3 years @ $6.66m per) deals done.
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Very friendly deals for the Sharks, to say the least...

Joe and Patrick have won about as much as the Sedins.
Joe has made $76,425,000 in his career.
Patrick has made $61,795,000
Hank and Dank - $36,512,000 each
The Sedins have outscored Marleau by about 0.1 PPG in their career, while Joe has outscored the Sedins he does have the nickname "No Show" Joe for a reason. And he's also made more than twice as much in his career thus far.
We are talking about a few hundred thousand dollars here with the cap going up. If Joe and Patrick played in Vancouver there would be more complaints about their inconsistent play than any players on the team. The biggest difference right now is that in San Jose those two have a supporting cast to share the scoring with, whereas that is really where we are struggling right now.
Gillis failed at nothing here.
*EDIT: I did some quick math on those career totals from capgeek so they may be off a tad. Don't really want to double check but you get my point.

To be clear, if they had signed for $7.1M a year you'd have been applauding Gillis?Zedlee wrote:What? Both shorter term and less $ than the Sedins signed for? Another fail by Gillis.dbr wrote:Sharks get Thornton (3 years at $6.75m per) and Marleau (3 years @ $6.66m per) deals done.

I dont' like giving raises and 4 year deals to players whose best years are behind them.dhabums wrote:To be clear, if they had signed for $7.1M a year you'd have been applauding Gillis?Zedlee wrote:What?

How do you know their best years are ahead or behind them?

They signed $12.2M combined against a cap of $56.8M or 21.4% of the teams cap.
Next year they are $14M combined against a cap of $71.1M or 19.6% of the teams cap.
