Glad to see I'm not the only one reposting links from reddit... But that one's from 2 years ago so I didn't.

I don't think Nash is moved this week because Howson is an idiot. Obviously nobody has given into his demands yet or it would be done already. I doubt a few days are going to make a difference.
Apparently though, Nash and his agent are starting to get angry. Howson has been trying to negotiate through the media, so I'd imagine that their next move is going to be them making statement of some sort, either naming the team(s) he wants to go to or just outright saying himself he has no desire to play for the BJs anymore, or both.

That sucks for Jets. Is $4 mill really that big of a hassle for a reliable starting goalie?

They should definitely pay him. They are a team on the rise with an amazing fanbase. They need to do whatever they can to keep their core together and add some pieces this offseason.
This. If they don't want to pay Pavelec, they should send him to Chicago for Crawford+.
Come on, Marvie. You care about the Phoenix "saga". You are the king of caring about things that should not be given a second thought.
You're just afraid that the Nordiques are going to win a Cup before the Habs win another.
I doubt much happens to be honest. That said, I'd love to see some ruling that forces Glendale to re-vote during a normal session and have the deal open for referendum.

I only got to see the Jets a few times but my impression is that he makes a lot of big saves and his D totally hangs him out to dry.

2.125 for a 3rd line center who brings a lot of speed, energy, and great penalty killing to the team, was hoping for a little cheaper but I'll take him at that price and for four years. Nice re-signing by Holland on this one.
There's Detroit's big move this offseason. Now Holland can enjoy his summer vacation!

You shut your mouth!
Who Helm? Because no, bottom 6 energy and penalty killer who has amazing speed.
Better hope they land one of the two big FAs otherwise this upcoming season may have more crazedarabman rants than ever before
Kypreos just said on Sportsnet that Gillis is leaning towards keeping Luongo if the offers don't improve. I don't think he realizes that if Gillis doesn't trade Luongo, Schneider will go to arbitration, agree to a one year deal, and then become a UFA next summer. I guess Kypreos is unaware what a bargaining tactic is. Assuming Gillis sees Schneider as the goalie of the future, it makes sense to negotiate a new multi-year contract (and trade Luongo) as soon as possible.

Awaiting Heretic and Dastardly to dance around only to realize they will have to trade him at the deadline when the Ducks are out of the playoff running come February. <3
I hope you guys sign Huet to fix your goalie problems!
Also HELM!!

i like the helm deal. maybe a bit high to start, but hopefully a bargain later in the contract.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Wow--I'm incredibly hyped about that Helm deal as it's way lower than I thought it would be.
This guy is, to me, one of the top 3 most important players on the Wings. He makes things happen on the ice, he never stops skating, and he's a constant shorthanded goal threat on the PK. Points mean nothing when it comes to what Helm does on the ice--he breaks the game open and he's one of the few guys on the Wings that can do it.
That's a fantastic signing at a cap hit of just over $2 million.

But you still exist
This has got to be one of the dumbest fucking posts you've ever made, and that's saying something.
If Winnipeg doesn't want to pay $4M for Pavelec, why the fuck would they want to take on Luongo's albatross deal as well as a bum like Raymond in exchange for their best player?
You son of a *waves fist angrily in air!*
And woohoo! One more year! In all honesty, I kind of wanted him to retire. Too much heart for this team. He deserves a cup. We'll see what changes the Ducks make in order to make this happen...
$4 million for Pavelec isn't terrible, so I don't see Winnipeg struggling to sign him. The KHL could offer him more, but I'd like to think that the NHL is where he wants to be, added with his success in Winnipeg. Unless there's something I'm missing.
It was awesome seeing him finally raise the Cup over his head in 2007.

His career SV% is .907 and GAA is 2.99
I understand he's been on some pretty terrible teams, but it's still a risk handing this guy $16m over 4 years, or whatever he's asking for, and hope that he starts playing like a #1 goalie.
It was a tear jerking moment for sure. Even today watching the Stanley Cup dvd bring a tear to my eyes.
WUT????
If they dont want give 4M for a goalie then why the fuck do they take Luongos contract.
TABRIS
Hardly. Luongo plays on a better team, is 8 years older, and has a TERRIBLE contract.

Jets won't let Pavelec and Kane go, even if they get Luongo.
Fair enough. Atlanta and Winnipeg haven't been amazing, but I think Pavelec's established himself to be capable enough. The question now is if he can improve and maintain his play. I'd risk the $4 million on him for 2-3 years. There's been worse contracts out there.
Dreger on TSN said there's no problems between Kane and the Jets, but that could simply be the PR machine churning. I won't believe it until I see anything other than speculation, I suppose.

No hes not. One plays behind a deep Stanley Cup contender and president trophy winner and one plays behind a mediocre fringe playoff team with almost the same stats.
Edit: woops always get Helm and Hudler mixed up, isnt he a UFA as well?
CrazedArabMan
Member
Yeah, you can take Hudler if you want, sure he put up a decent amount of points but he is still too small and easily pushed off the puck and is prone to a large number of mistakes and he is going to want more than what we are willing to pay him (that is going by what most are reporting considering Holland offered him a contract and he turned it down).
