So much money. G looking underpaid right now.

holy shit

LOOOOOOOOOL Hawks

Well in a world where professional turnstile Kyle Quincey can fetch 4.2...

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Dat Kessel bargain

 

[ShaneB]

Yeah.... My word at those deals. Will see how it influences everything else moving forward.

 

[Red_Man]

Dat Kessel bargain

Dat Patches bargain

 

[Cake Boss]

Dat NORRISSON bargain.

Could only imagine Melnyks reaction after seeing those deals.

Dat Kessel bargain

Nice guy
Trys hard
Loves the game

 

[BigJonsson]

How many of those guys who signed 10 year contracts a few years ago are kicking themselves now?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

The Bravely Default soundtrack is so good.

The Toews-Kane contracts are difficult to compare to others. They have 2 Cups, are in their prime years (26), and are absolute money in the playoffs. Sure other contracts look like "bargains" but they don't come with hardware and their pedigree. Hawks will have trouble staying competitive though with those contracts and Hossa's.

Also the new CBA changed things.

 

[ActStriker]

Jesus at those contracts. At least the Bruins signed Bergeron last year.

 

[KernelPanic]

Dat NORRISSON bargain.

Could only imagine Melnyks reaction after seeing those deals.

Don't worry he won't be the owner forever, probably not for long if us Sens fans can catch a break.

 

[Calamari41]

The Bravely Default soundtrack is so good.

Best overworld theme since Terra

That's fine.

And what the hell is your avatar? Retired Yuko?

 

[CrazedArabMan]

That stings... at least it is only 2 years.... until he resigns again for 6 million a year

 

[Var]

That's fine.

It's Avie from the Doomtown:Reloaded card game that's coming out. Using it until the game releases.

 

[Plinko]

Kane and Toews signed for 8 years, 10.5 million each.

At the very least, one of those years will be wiped out by a work stoppage, so I guess it isn't too bad for Chicago.

I know Green's value has dropped pretty hard right now with injuries, declined offense, last year in contract, etc... but :LOL

Like Washington would take a fringe NHL prospect who may or may not be able to make the NHL. I mean, I would love to do that sort of trade with those types of players since we don't give up much but that ain't happening. Plus Holland only gets fleeced, he has trouble trying to fleece other GM's. Well unless it is Feaster who is too stupid to accept fleecings of other GM's when they are right in front of him.

LOL at Holland. Come on.

 

[Plinko]

Sorry--dp.

I guess to make it worthwhile I will mention how I am in the process of trying to acquire a complete Nintendo 64 game collection. There is some hot garbage in that system's library.

So $44 M of the $84 M is in signing bonuses...

What's funny is that tweet would have been exciting 5 years ago.

Now? "Oh okay."

good, you will love him. I wish the wild re-signed him. He is basically the reason we beat the Avs in the playoffs.

How cone he didn't resign with Minny?

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Just saw this gif over in gaming side, can't believe I haven't seen it before in here or reworked for different teams:

 

[Red_Man]

He better be cheap

Don't think he's in any position to demand a high salary right now

 

[Vman]

How cone he didn't resign with Minny?

No room for him. we basically swapped Vanek for him and we have to many young guys who warrant a top 6 role. And as well as Heatley did on the 4th line for parts of the year we wanted to get a faster 4th going into this year. Dude is nothing but class.

Why

It's my favorite old school system. Lots of good memories, and I missed out on a lot of decent games when I went to college and only had a PS1/2 around. That said, WOW, the framerates on some of these games. Ugh.

Somebody help me out here as to how this affects cap.

 

[A Serious Man]

It doesn't. The cap hit should be $10.5m every year of the contract, regardless of how it's paid out.

Green sucks, I'm glad Holland isn't thinking of giving up anything like Tatar or Jurco for 1 year of him.
