Seems they call Tabris for advice now. :/

Or Paul Holmgren.... UNLESS THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON!?!?!?!

 

[SpectreFire]

At least the Italians are losing today.

Racist

 

[KernelPanic]

I am fucking pissed as hell, I can't find a single positive about this fucking deal.

Most Sens fans don't consider Foligno good enough to be top-6, and we have the biggest bunch of pussies on defence (except Cowen). I can see why they made it. We've got a bunch of forward prospects who have a shot next year and should be better than Foligno.

 

[Tabris]

Penguins got bounced due to goaltending, with the type of goals MAF and Bryz were letting in, even a strong West defense wouldn't have done jack.

 

[Marvie_3]

Speaking of Canada Day, why do Canadians have British monarchs on their money anyway? Shouldn't they have Canadian royalty like Rick Moranis on it?

 

[KingHenrik30]

Rumor is Prust to MTL. 4 years, $2.5M per.

He scored 5 goals last season.

Wow, do you even watch hockey? You're so clueless.

:lol

Is that more or less per goal than Gomez?

 

[Kifimbo]

He scored 5 goals last season.

Still more than Scott Gomez.

 

[Cactus]

So, Montreal is paying $5.3m for their fourth line..?

 

[CrazedArabMan]

He scored 5 goals last season.

Intangibles!

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

That has to be fake for Prust, Montreal can't be that dumb after the whole Gomez fiasco.

 

[SpacLock]

He scored 5 goals last season.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they're stupid enough to pay that for him. We only wanted him so he could stop people from picking on our vagina-esque team.

 

[Marvie_3]

:lol

First question was an honest question. :lol

Better deal than Scott Gomez.

It doesn't become more correct the more you say it.

 

[KingHenrik30]

He was seeking at least 2.2, so it wouldn't surprise me that somebody would over pay for him. However, anything over 1.5 for that guy is a waste. Fuck him, greedy prick.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Deal is 4 years $10 mill

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

He was seeking at least 2.2, so it wouldn't surprise me that somebody would over pay for him. However, anything over 1.5 for that guy is a waste. Fuck him, greedy prick.

But how can anyone pay OVER what he was seeking? I know the teams clawing at each other to pay such a sweet deal must have been immense but still.

Edit: MONTREALOL! No words

 

[Marvie_3]

Suckers. We kicked the British out centuries ago.

But how can anyone pay OVER what he was seeking? I know the teams clawing at each other to pay such a sweet deal must have been immense but still.

Maybe someone matched his asking price and the Habs had to bump their offer up?

I know I get that, I am not the biggest Foligno fan but seriously is that the best deal we could have got for a 24 year old 47 point player with grit and nastiness to him playing 3rd line 2nd line minutes with barely an PP time that? Once again our pro scouts need to be fired and Murray's obsession with local players needs to stop.

With Foligno, Carkner and Konopka gone, we lost alot of grit and became as soft as the Leafs.

 

[cube444]

He was looking for at least $2.2M/per and that's why the Rangers let him hit UFA.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Ha Kuba was a Panthers draft pick.His size is welcome though.

Campbell-Kuba

Kulikov- Gudbranson

Jovo- Weaver

I like that line-up.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

But they're paying OVER what he was seeking. I can't see the demand to do that.

 

[Giard]

I think they keep her on our currency only for historical purposes. Here, in Quebec, most people want nothing to do with the British monarchy.

 

[Alucard]

Renaud P Lavoie ‏@RenLavoieRDS

Nothing official yet, but Brendan Prust is close to a deal with the Canadiens.

 

[SpectreFire]

Suckers. We kicked the British out centuries ago.

You're missing out brah.

 

[MrToughPants]

Murray's a fucking piece of shit.

 

[Tabris]

Here are my ideal signings for the Canucks (all dependent on price/years, otherwise not interested):

Doan: 2-3years / $10-15m
Garrison: 5years / $22.5m
Jokinen: 2 years / $4m
Salo: 1 year / $2m

All the other players (Parise, Suter, Carle, etc) will be way overpriced.

 

[cube444]

But they're paying OVER what he was seeking. I can't see the demand to do that.

That just means there was a number a teams trying to sign him so it became a supply/demand thing and his price went up.

Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

That's just insane people would pay 2.5mil for 5 goals. We should have people knocking down our door for Kennedy then if they will pay that.

 

[Zombie James]

Like #Flyers the #Wild have thrown the kitchen sink at Parise/Suter. Going rate on all #NHL offers are now minimum 12 years between 80-90M

Yow.

You think Jokinen will only make 2M per year? You're dreaming. Based on what teams are throwing around today, he's going to be closer to 4M per.

 

[Marvie_3]

Well at least Quebec finally did something right.

You're missing out brah.

Hey, you finally posted a decent beer.

Doan: 2-3years / $10-15m

Salo: 1 year / $2m

Both of these guys will get a lot more than that.

Hearing some scuttle that #pens could front-load to get Parise or Suter, not likely both. Would not mesh with what I had heard previously.

Pens now willing to front load for Parise?

 

[Tabris]

Yeah, that's why I said I wouldn't want them past those prices. I don't want to sign anyone to a price higher than Bieksa/Hamhuis. We're a "You take a discount to play with us" kind of team and I rather not sign anyone than ruin with that.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

The calgary signing the other day is starting to look like a steal if this is how free agency will be. Fuck.

Lol don't expect him to use it at all, even in the playoffs Karlsson was more physical than him.

Seriously. HE CAN CARRY THE PUCK! HE CAN SHOOT! HE CAN SCORE! HE'S WORTH 4 MILLION, AT LEAST!

 

[ZeroGravity]

He's getting paid 3 million for the first year haha.

So Shero used to bitch about front loaded contracts and now he's all for them?

 

[lupin23rd]

Can he POSE? If so, start the offers at $5M.

 

[Alucard]

Rob Rossi ‏@RobRossi_Trib
Told #pens have gone BIG on #PariseWatch but not sold that decision will be made today; club feels good about talks.

Shit. I'm assuming the strategy is to go all-in with Parise, and go after Suter if this doesn't pan out.

 

[Cactus]

Prust reminds me a lot of Mike Brown...who's earning 737,000.

 

[Cake Boss]

Murray's a fucking piece of shit.

Fucking Colombus's bottom pairing dman.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

That's the NYR method of bargaining, perfected during the Avery and Lundqvist negotiations.
