Whitney with the HUGE overpayment. Dallas desperate?

 

[CREMSteve]

edit - beaten badly

 

[Marvie_3]

9M over 2 years for Whitney and he's 40 years old? :lol

He put up 77 points last year.

 

[Heretic]

Don't know anything about him. I remember the name but all I did was see his high PIMs.

Goodbye Parros then =(

 

[cube444]

He put up 77 points last year.

For sure but I don't remember him doing much in the playoffs.

 

[Kifimbo]

Whitney with the HUGE overpayment. Dallas desperate?

Dumb for both sides IMO. Why did Whitney choose Dallas ? He doesn't want to win another Cup before retiring ?

 

[ShaneB]

Whitney is one of the most underrated players in the league. Definite huge loss for Phoenix, and odd for him to go to Dallas as well I guess given he could've went to numerous places.

 

[sefskillz]

konopka and clutterbuck on the same team is gonna be great

 

[Cake Boss]

For sure but I don't remember him doing much in the playoffs.

He doesn't have to worry about that in Dallas.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

YOU GET NOTHING. YOU LOSE.

WE GOT MONSTER LIKE MARVIE SAID!!

Hahaha poor CrazedArabMan =(

Ducks aren't going to do shit so I shouldn't be laughing. Heck, with my luck, we'll lose Teemu and Bobby...

In all seriousness, I'm glad with the Monster signing, heck anything is an upgrade to Conklin as backup, so overall it actually is a really good signing and he seems really excited to come here.

 

[Marvie_3]

Dallas? Playoffs? LOL

Edit: Damn you Cake Boss

Close to retirement. Who could blame him for taking $9M this late in his career?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

You can afford to overpay a brah or two when you are at the cap floor.

 

[cube444]

Dallas? Playoffs? LOL

:lol Fair enough. So why would he sign there and not for a chance at Cup?

 

[sazabirules]

:lol Fair enough. So why would he sign there and not for a chance at Cup?

Money and the owner is a friend.

 

[Alucard]

I'll 1-up you.

NHL GM approaches Shero...

"I've got Martin, Kennedy, and Lovejoy available. Whatta you say?"

NHL GM:

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Tootoo to Toronto??

 

[Kifimbo]

Close to retirement. Who could blame him for taking $9M this late in his career?

I doubt Dallas was the only team willing to give him millions. Why not take "only" $8M over 2 years and have a chance to win something (at least make the playoffs).

 

[Fei]

I know this is still up in the air with the CBA, but I just saw the cap floor is $54.2M. Only 11 teams currently meet that. :lol

 

[MrToughPants]

:lol Fair enough. So why would he sign there and not for a chance at Cup?

9 million reasons why.

Fuck the Cup when you can get your balls cupped everyday with that cash.

 

[Syph Medwes]

Guys, I'm scared. I have a bad feeling about Holmgren doing something stupid.
Just resign Jags and then shut the phones down!

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I doubt Jagr will resign with the flyers. Rumor was if he did that lavy wanted to bury him on the third line. I doubt Jagr will go for that.

 

[Plinko]

So glad Detroit's not going to overpay for Parise. That's outrageous money.

Bring in Semin.

 

[Kifimbo]

Fuck, the TSN stream switch to the Euro game.

 

[Alucard]

Chip Alexander ‏@ice_chip

Hearing if Canes' free-agent bid for Parise fails, will further pursue trade for Nash. Apparently offer for Nash has been made.

 

[Fei]

I doubt Jagr will resign with the flyers. Rumor was if he did that lavy wanted to bury him on the third line. I doubt Jagr will go for that.

Jagr will go wherever he gets the most money. Just like he did last year.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Jagr will go wherever he gets the most money. Just like he did last year.

I doubt he'll get the most playing on a third line...

 

[cube444]

Fuck, the TSN stream switch to the Euro game.

TSN2 has the UFA show.

 

[Fei]

I doubt he'll get the most playing on a third line...

Yeah. I guess it depends on whether Holmgren and Laviolette are on the same page there. I'm just saying Jagr's going to chase the money like most of the older players who already have a Cup.

 

[Marvie_3]

So glad Detroit's not going to overpay for Parise. That's outrageous money.

Bring in Semin.

I'd rather pay for Parise. Semin is a bitch.

 

[Fei]

Brad Boyes to the Islanders. 1 year 1 million.

 

[Syph Medwes]

I doubt Jagr will resign with the flyers. Rumor was if he did that lavy wanted to bury him on the third line. I doubt Jagr will go for that.

Yeah I doubt he'll be back too but I can only hope haha.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Islanders sign Brad Boyes (1 year, 1 million).

 

[cube444]

So glad Detroit's not going to overpay for Parise. That's outrageous money.

Bring in Semin.

Are they officially out?

 

[Alucard]

Jagr will go wherever he gets the most money. Just like he did last year.

Fuck him. Guy has become a greedy shithead.

 

[Kifimbo]

Brad Boyes to the Islanders. 1 year 1 million.

Wow, this guy fell hard in the last few years.

 

[Merguson]

Eklund: Adam Burrish a Star too, DONE (E5)

Official: Adam Burish signs with San Jose

Then he changes it to .... Adam Burrish a Shark (E5)
"4 years. Sorry talking to a source. Heard Stars, but said Sharks"

 

[Marvie_3]

Burish to the Sharks


I was hoping to see him back in Chicago so he and Sharp could play practical jokes on Toews some more. :lol

 

[Cagey]

Hedberg reportedly returning to NJD.

Rich Chere ‏@Ledger_NJDevils
Can't understand why Devils fans are so nervous today. The entire fourth line has already been re-signed.

 

[Marvie_3]

:lol

 

[Cake Boss]

Fuck man, would love if some team totally unexpected comes and gives Parise whats hes asking for. Ottawa please, better than trading for Nash.

 

[Plinko]

Are they officially out?

Nothing official but the fact they aren't visiting makes me believe they aren't.

Sorry but 24 mil in 2 yrs is outrageous.

 

[KernelPanic]

Fuck man, would love if some team totally unexpected and gives Parise whats hes asking for. Ottawa please, better than trading for Nash.

You could give him the entire Mint, he'd never come here anyway.
12M bonus ?? Fuck that

 

[DopeyFish]

Holzapfel has signed with Pittsburgh..

Who the hell is holzapfel?

 

[Plinko]

I'd rather pay for Parise. Semin is a bitch.

Don't care. I'll take a team like that until the CBA puts a limit on these ludicrous contracts.

 

[sazabirules]

Holzapfel has signed with Pittsburgh..

Who the hell is holzapfel?

Young AHL center.

 

[Merguson]

Matt Carkner signed with the Isles, 3 year deal.

lol colorado

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Fuck him. Guy has become a greedy shithead.

No, fuck you. You'd still take Jagr if he signed.

Wow, this guy fell hard in the last few years.

What is this guy's story? I see a 33 and 43 goal season then he drops to playing like 50 games and like 8 goals tops. Was it injuries or something else?

 

[Marvie_3]

Nothing official but the fact they aren't visiting makes me believe they aren't.

Sorry but 24 mil in 2 yrs is outrageous.

So you don't want Suter then who wants $28M in the first 2 years?

 

[Cake Boss]

You could give him the entire Mint, he'd never come here anyway.
12M bonus ?? Fuck that

You never know brah. Spezza feeding you pucks, Karlsson setting you up, up and coming team, good coaching, offensive system etc.

It ain't my money so easy for me to say YES.
