Johnny Gaudreau signed for 6 years, $6.75/year, according to Bob Mckenzie. A full million less than I expected.

New precedent for 'all-star' nhl players after their ELC? used to be 6x6 set by alllllll the Oilers 1st overalls and forsberg.Tciso wrote:Johnny Gaudreau signed for 6 years, $6.75/year, according to Bob Mckenzie. A full million less than I expected.
Oh, good to know, my apologies good sir!Mëds wrote:No. I'm not.Strangelove wrote:
First off, aren't you one of the whiners who complain about a bleak future?

Unfortunately it was either overpay Sbisa or let him walk (thanks to the his previous contract).Mëds wrote: I don't like the contract he gave Sbisa AFTER we saw what we had there.
Well even if you're right, that's only $600K, look at the other great contracts I've pointed too...Mëds wrote: I didn't like the contract he gave Dorsett, thought it was a 25% over-payment.
"down the line"??Mëds wrote: I think Sutter's contract and NTC is going to hurt us down the line, hope I'm wrong, I wasn't against the trade for him, just didn't like the extension.
Kassian subsequently went unclaimed on waivers.Mëds wrote: I also didn't like the trade for Prust, but that's because I liked Kassian, and I still think that's a trade that the Canucks are the losers of.
Good form ole boy, takes a 6'7" man to admit he's wrong!Mëds wrote:Quite right. I didn't consider that.Strangelove wrote: Thirdly, the correct math would be $5M + $5M - $4.394166M = $5.605834M
(Guds cap-hit right now $3.5M + Bo's cap-hit $894,166 = $4.394166M)
Meaning, even if you're right about $5M each, the extra cap-hit would only be $5.605834M (not $10M).
If Markstrom turns out to be merely a 1A goalie, we're not going to spend $4M on a 1B.Mëds wrote: And if Demko isn't ready, and Markstrom can't handle 50+ games, then I will bet that Miller is extended for 2 years.....and he won't come cheaper than $4M.
I just don't think we are going to have LOTS of cap room.
Again, it's not a full NTC "down the line".Mëds wrote: Sutter may or may not be overpaid. I do think he's been given too much term though. The fact that he was given a full NTC makes me think he should have seen $500K less.
Well I've already apologized for lumping you in with Lumpy (aka Blob).Mëds wrote: Who's bitter? Calling a spade a spade isn't necessarily bitterness.
Yeah, like I said, I liked Kassian, I understood the trade, just didn't like it.Strangelove wrote: Kassian subsequently went unclaimed on waivers.
Prust looked like he had one more good year in him (until that brutal ankle injury).
One year later, Kassian is lucky to have a contract (took a pay-cut) and Prust looks done.
Seems ludicrous to whine about this trade, Benning had to get Kassian away from the kids...
Well you should buy it.Mëds wrote: This was just a case of Benning seeing this as addition by subtraction.....I'm not buying that here.
I'm just not buying the addition by subtraction.Strangelove wrote:Well you should buy it.Mëds wrote: This was just a case of Benning seeing this as addition by subtraction.....I'm not buying that here.
He went unclaimed on waivers, end of story.
After a year of trying to trade him, Yakupov got a 3rd, welcome to the real world.
Prust would have likely given us a great year if not for that injury, just the way she goes...

A RHS who can slot onto the top 6, help on the PP and can be trade bait at the deadline.
I say put in a claim.
Edit: Teemu Pulkkinen also on waivers, 23 year old RW skill brought up in the Red Wings organization. Another good option.
Willy wants his mini me Linden Vey back asap. No body rides the stache like LindyHockey Widow wrote:

The fact we have not released either Ruutu or Skille tells me we have put in a claim for someone and are waiting to see if we get them before we decide on the PTOs, both of whom practiced with the team today. Of course we could sign either one after the season starts as they are effectively not on our roster until signed.
Good insight. You could be right although he is a smurf and a RW.Hockey_God wrote:Hockey Widow wrote:vic wrote:PA Parenteau on waivers...1.25m for one season, UFA next.

You don't need any inside connections to figure out GMJB has put in a claim for mini mite Seth Griffith. Jimbo drafted him in 2012 and he played a couple years in London with Bo. He looks like he is on the cusp of becoming the next Patrick Kane...or Ryan Shannon.
