I wouldn't even be that mad.... We have the space and he'd be pretty awesome. It's definitely an overpayment, but whatever. I don't expect any better at this point.

I dunno, I read that and my Islanders rash started to itch.
That's just the chlamydia.
I hope it's someone that has no chance of actually signing him. Like the Islanders. But it's looking less and less likely that the Canucks can get him at a reasonable price.
Would laugh if it was Philly. They still need to sign Voracek and somehow find another dman or two.

Resigning Voracek will cost about 4. Doan would be 7. That would take up our available cap space. Then we get Pronger LTIR and then we get 2m from Schenn's hit going down to 1m on the first day of the season. And we don't NEED another D-man since none seem to be on the market. We have three rookies who all played solid minutes last year that will be back.
7m for Doan is WAY too much, but it's also WAY better than trading for Nash. It's probably even SLIGHTLY better than trading for Bobby Ryan. So if that's the ONLY stupid thing Homer does I consider this a solid offseason.
Man, Perry and Getlzaf are going to want huge wads of cash next offseason... I'm thinking we might lose them now...
Oh and I voted again from work, Dastardly! We have over 150 computers here and I'll try to vote on every one of them! Going to try ninja my way to the site and vote before anyone sees what i'm looking at!

With all these huge contracts I'm wondering when roster size minimums are removed. 3v3 is the future.
Sounds like a Philly offer.

Jamieson can't even afford the team I doubt he can afford to give Doan a comparable contract.
More like Sather, he loves dem big overpaid players.
Scott Howzen next up on Ottawa radio.

I don't know if this off-season is just an exception, or if it'll start becoming the norm with paying $7 million+ for star players. I really just hope it's an exception.

Yes because he's done that with players who would be 35+ contracts in recent years...
Time to face facts. Rangers are a lot better giving out contracts these days. Sather wouldn't offer Doan more than 2 years at most.

3 Months exactly till first Habs / Leafs game
It would be godlike if both Rielly and Galchenyuk made their respective teams. Hopefully Orr makes a comeback and keeps Prust in line.
This offseason is boring as hell. Almost nothing is happening.

Maybe if both teams keep them up for the 9 game stint, and an Orr / Brown and Prust fight needs to happen first night.

LolFlorida, we can help you.
The list is a bit deceiving for FLA we still have Kulikov and Versteeg to sign combined should be for about 6-7 milli. Combine that with Huberdeau and possibly Howden we have definetly passed the floor.

Looks like Zemgus Girgensons is not going to Vermont, signed a contract with the Sabres instead.

Both prospects will injure themselves and be out for 8 months or more, again.
And then we spend the next 5 years arguing which of the injured prospects had more potential.
Let's see Jamison put up the cash first. The guy who wrote the article about Jamison having the money is completely full of shit and has written several articles about a Coyotes sale being almost done in the past. There's still going to be court cases over the referendum signatures and a gift clause challenge so this is far from over.
No....no we don't.

The local attorney seemed to think that Goldwater had no shot at winning the signature court case.
The local attorney? Is that like the local sheriff or local schoolmarm? I'm not a lawyer but given the shady way Glendale has tried to push all this through and them having all the incentive to reject the petitions for any reason they can think of, I think they have a shot.

I don't know--the article says it's Andy Gordon, a Phoenix-based attorney who has performed lawsuits based around the referendums before, so my guess is that he knows what he's talking about.
Free Tim Hortons for a year as a signing bonus?
