Better hope France doesn't lose!

The worst part of Gaborik on the Kings is this "Gabbo" bullshit. Guys name is GABBY.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

What are people saying? Any kind of consensus?

Mostly that the length is tough, but the cap hit is miraculous. Lower than Clarkson, lower (I think) than Callahan. Consensus seems to be that the window for cups is open and sometimes you overpay one way or another to capitalize on it. I've seen two or three OKC Thunder/Harden references. Few folks looking at the prospect of a buyout/trade around years 4 and 5 and how manageable it would be even with a small cap hit carried over. I think Kings fans are largely happy.

Some consternation RE: what seven years means for prospects. Vey is almost definitely with the team next year but there's no space for Weal and he's probably going to get snatched by another team. And the Russian kids might be without spots ala Loktionov as well. But like....who cares? Win while you're stacked and manage the fallout as best you can.

As long as we win by 2 more than ecuador we're advancing. So even if Ecuador wins 1-0, we still advance by more goals scored and same goal differential.

 

[Cake Boss]

This seems fair... is Kadri's name supposed to be in there, too? Cause then It wouldn't be fair for the Leafs anymore.

Dopey thinks Gardiner is the best dman to come out of the 2008 draft.

Gotta say I agree. I think most people would make the trade of maybe having a tough time rebuilding five years from now in order to have the preceding five years be Cup-favorite territory.

Brooks saying rangers have NOT contacted Statsny. Not sure if true or bullshit to back up the article he just wrote about the Rangers not doing anything but re-signing their own people.

In the end, nobody knows fuckin' anything.

The Gaborik length is fine. In 5 years, $5M in a rising cap isn't that much.

In 5 years he'll probably be retiring anyways. It's a good contract.

BRING IT ON ARGENTINA

-cries in the corner-

At least we made it to the final 16...

Leafs have not contaced McClement
This is okay news, I like McClement but Carlyle was in love with the dude and used him far too much. If he was used 5-8 minutes a night and on the PK it would be fine but there were nights he was breaking 16-20...

So not likely signing Bolland, McClement....I guess Holland is getting a shot, which is great.

 

[Cake Boss]

The Senators are targeting Friday, latest, for a Spezza trade. Why? Because they want to have a first round pick in this draft.

Apprently Dallas is the other western team that has made a serious offer.

 

[MutFox]

Congrats Sweden!

I too liked him, but I'm looking forward to seeing the Leafs without McClement. First step towards a real 4th line.

Boston writer saying that Florida-Montreal have a trade in the works. Gimme Kulikov or Gudbranson plz.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

@MurphysLaw74: Per one NHL source today: "I think Habs are holding back on signing Weaver or bottom 6 D right now so they can get top 6 scoring F."

@MurphysLaw74: Also heard Habs and Panthers talking trade. Wasn't for #1 pick but trying to confirm for what.

I wonder if Flash speaks French...

Tampa signs JT Brown, 2 year deal. $925,000 and $950,000.

Good deal. Kid works so hard, hopefully he can find his scoring touch this year.

You'll get Scott Gomez back and like it.

Renee Bourque will love Florida.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

All these teams with rumors and all we get from Holland is that he likes old guys like Boyle and Cleary...

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Brian Campbell.

Rumor was false.

 

[ZeroGravity]

All these teams with rumors and all we get from Holland is that he likes old guys like Boyle and Cleary...

I'm sure when he trades Nyquist out of the blue you'll have plenty to talk about.

Just wait until he realizes that Handzus is UFA

 

[CrazedArabMan]

And to think that almost happened.

Just wait until he realizes that Handzus is UFA

FUUUUUUUUU

Also Gus officially signed now for 1.85 mil for one year. Actually something I'm fine with.

Edit: I guess it would only be fair that the Sharks got Stuart from us when he was just starting to go downhill, and we would try to get Boyle who is starting to go downhill.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Yessssssss, all the Acids!

BTW I'm going to take him for a trial run here, thanks Quick my man. The Selleck one is a masterpiece

 

[Red_Man]

Brian Campbell.

No need. He's a lesser Markov. Need one of the young guys, or a guy like Gilbert.

Re:

From the outside, my understanding of Mike Weaver situation is he's asking for more $ than the Habs are willing to pay....Let's see how the interview period will go. No door close between Habs and Mike Weaver. #tvasports #canadiens

 

[lamaroo]

Gilbert is a UFA.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Between the Quick contract, the Gabbo contract (sorry KingHenrik, Simpsons reference > Gabby, which is a girls name) and Kopitars future contract... The Kings are gonna drown themselves in buyout potentials.

I'm cool with this.

 

[Red_Man]

Gilbert is a UFA.

Right, I'm assuming it's one of the D guys I mentioned then. No idea what we would give up for one though, and I doubt I'll like the price.

This post is just wrong, Gabby Hayes wrong!
