@RealKyper
Crazy hearing today of 100M+ being thrown around by #NHL teams in last ditch Parise/Suter effort. Shows how desperate teams are 2 get better

Insane.

 

[Plinko]

Insane.

I'll bet Detroit is one of those for Suter. Desperate.

 

[OnPoint]

Insane.

If one of those is Buffalo I'll be deeply embarrassed

Spoiler

It's probably not

 

[SpacLock]

I'll bet Detroit is one of those for Suter. Desperate.

Scary.

Wild has 100mil on Parise I'm sure.

St. Louis Blues ‏@StLouisBlues
The Blues have signed D-man Jeff Woywitka to a one year, two-way deal.

THE FLOOD GATES ARE OPEN

 

[Solo]

Overall, I'm not particularly happy nor am I particularly upset about the Habs' signings. Boullion signing was good. Armstrong signing is "meh" but short term and cheap. Prust's is too much but again, still not big money.

Habs still need a top 6 winger. Pretty much means Jagr or Semin out of the UFA pool.

 

[Smiley90]

G/Briere, Crosby/Malkin (sometimes), Kopitar/Richards... Staals are good, but not THAT good. I know there are even more I'm missing (can't name Van's #2), but I'm about to take a big practice exam and this STILL jumped out as an exaggeration.

Sedin/Sedin?

 

[jred2k]

The combined amount of Suter's and Parise's contracts could potentially be worth more than all contracts signed yesterday. Approximately $190M in contracts signed yesterday.

 

[SpectreFire]

Oh hells yeah. Ebbett and Pinizzotto are both back.

 

[cube444]

Sedin/Sedin?

I believe the discussion was about centers so whomever is the #2C in Vancouver fits the bill.

 

[Marvie_3]

Oh hells yeah. Ebbett and Pinizzotto are both back.

I never thought I'd ever see someone excited about an Andrew Ebbett signing.

 

[KernelPanic]

And if lupul repeats, he wouldn't even be a #1 winger

What are the chances of that happening with Carlyle as his coach ?

 

[Smiley90]

I believe the discussion was about centers so whomever is the #2C in Vancouver fits the bill.

Ah sorry, thought it was duos. But yeah, Sedin/Kesler (Hart/Art Ross & Selke) fits the bill.

Also, yeah for Ebbet, uuuuuh for... that other guy.

I never thought I'd ever see someone excited about an Andrew Ebbett signing.

He had some oddly good advanced stats (zone starts/opponent quality/corsi) last season, PLUS more depth once Raymond is gone. -please make it happen Gillis-

 

[Curufinwe]

You'll get Nash and his bloated deal and like it.

Nash might seem like a relative bargain if Parise gets a ridiculous 12 year, $100 million contract.

 

[MrToughPants]

Good pick up by the Flames.

Hudler $16M/4years

 

[Wendel Clark]

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger
Jiri Hudler agrees to 4 year, $16 million contract with Calgary Flames. 4yrs x $4 mil.

;s

 

[KernelPanic]

The Braintrust strikes again !

 

[Razorskin]

The Hudlers, they laugh at you!

 

[Marvie_3]

Nash might seem like a relative bargain if Parise gets a ridiculous 12 year, $100 million contract.

Parise's cap hit there would only be .5M over Nash's. I'd take Parise at that price 100 times out of 100 over a lazy player like Nash that's only hit 70 points once.

Good pick up by the Flames.

Hudler $16M/4years

Somewhere, Plinko is crying alone in a locked bathroom stall.

 

[dem]

Hudler

Oiy Calgary
Oiy

 

[SpectreFire]

I never thought I'd ever see someone excited about an Andrew Ebbett signing.

He was a pretty decent depth option for us, could play up to the 2nd line in limited instances. Doesn't hurt to have more center depth.

The Hudlers, they laugh at you!

 

[lupinko]

What are the chances of that happening with Carlyle as his coach ?

Still likely, it was more of Lupul's past health problems that resulted in limited ice time in Anaheim than Carlyle.

 

[CREMSteve]

Excellent signing by Calgary!

 

[Revenant]

He was a pretty decent depth option for us, could play up to the 2nd line in limited instances. Doesn't hurt to have more center depth.

Going for the presidents trophy champions three peat!

 

[Razorskin]

Hudler

if he gets 50 points it's worth it, guy looks inconsistent though.

 

[Plinko]

Parise's cap hit there would only be .5M over Nash's. I'd take Parise at that price 100 times out of 100 over a lazy player like Nash that's only hit 70 points once.

Meh. Good pickup by Calgary.

More money for Semin in Detroit.

 

[Cake Boss]

Happy hangover day.

 

[SpectreFire]

Gonna start up a banner farm of our own and eat into Crazedarabman's monopoly over it.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Semin has to go to Detroit now.

....NEED MORE SIGNINGS

 

[Curufinwe]

Parise's cap hit there would only be .5M over Nash's. I'd take Parise at that price 100 times out of 100 over a lazy player like Nash that's only hit 70 points once.

But Nash only has another 6 years left on his deal. These contracts that go into the 2020s are ridiculous.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Meh. Good pickup by Calgary.

More money for Semin in Detroit.

Yup, no more happy Hudler. Though I thought he would get 5 million on the market, 4 million isn't actually that bad.

 

[Marvie_3]

But Nash only has another 6 years left on his deal. These contracts that go into the 2020s are ridiculous.

Parise is still a better all around player and I'd rather have him.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

NHL.com better use the headline "IN THE HUD".

With 29-year-old Wideman and 28-year-old Hudler, the Flames are getting progressively younger!

 

[Plinko]

Parise is still a better all around player and I'd rather have him.

You're only saying this because the Hawks are in on Da'Quan.

 

[Marvie_3]

You're only saying this because the Hawks are in on Da'Quan.

I'll still say that after he re-signs in NJ.

 

[zedge]

Good pick up by the Flames.

Hudler $16M/4years

Holy shit..

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Parise and Suter are holding this whole show up.

 

[CREMSteve]

Holy shit..

The Flames' roster actually looks pretty solid right now.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Holy shit..

Congrats on getting Huds for 4 years....

I'm sorry. You'll be happy with him until you realize he is slow and gets knocked down if a fly lands on him.

 

[Marvie_3]

Parise and Suter are holding this whole show up.

Exactly. They're kinking the garden hose.

 

[cube444]

@markhmastersBeing told Parise will talk to reporters here in about 5 mins
4 minutes ago

[Plinko]

Parise and Suter are holding this whole show up.

Yep. Getting boring.

Once those dominoes fall, I expect Semin's signing and Nash's trade to happen soon after. Just a matter of when.

I know Marvie's hanging all over Eklund's site right now with his insistence that the Hawks are in on Da'Quan.

 

[Tabris]

I kinda wanna see TOR and DET improve this year or at least get some more exciting names, even though I hate both teams, just for the entertainment value from 24/7.

 

[Marvie_3]

[Smiley90]

why is this a gif -rubs eyes-

 

[Revenant]

Marvie you jerk. Almost looked crazy by spitting out my water

 

[Plinko]

I never cease to be amazed at Marvie's collection of quality gifs.

 

[Plinko]

So Hudler is confirmed to have asked for $4 million from Detroit. Not surprised they said no.

Stay in NJ, Parise.

 

[Cagey]

Worst 5 minutes since the first period of Game 6 of the SCF.

“I’m just excited for a chance to win some games,” Crabb said. “I’m just excited to get in there and get on a team with a real good chance to win and high expectations for them. I haven’t really played on teams in the past that have had this high of expectations for winning and it’s going to be fun to be playing for a team like that.”

I love Crabb already. I guess he didn't have that opportunity in Toronto.
