+ Peter Holland
Probably another AHL signing or Flynn Replacement
how does curtis mcelhinney get $1.7M and antti niemi only $700k
lou lamoriello things
Because McElhinney has a 2 year deal, and did something Niemi couldn't do, and that's crack .900
hey Montreal
You want Borotits?
at this point, sure whatever send him our way we'll give you Galchenyuk
hey montreal
you want ben smith?
at this point, sure whatever send him our way we'll give you Gallagher
mcelhinney doesn't have anywhere near the track record niemi does. neither are good but mcelhinney is definitely bad.Because McElhinney has a 2 year deal, and did something Niemi couldn't do, and that's crack .900

McBackup is 850k per season. Not exactly blowing the budget.

Cam Fowler's extension in ANA -- coming into effect next season -- expected to be 8 years with a $6.5M AAV
at least it's better than

Sharks have signed Marc-Edouard Vlasic to an 8-year, $56 million extension ($7 M aav) and Martin Jones to a 6-year deal worth $5.75 M aav

Botterill seems awesome so far. I'm excited for the Sabres. Throw in Antipin on D and this could be a quick turn around.
Watch Eichel have a banner year and get an 8x11m contract.
We actually have a competent blue line.

Would I rather have signed Hunwick to his contract than Hainsey at his? Probably.
@PierreVLeBrun
Ron Hainsey's 2-yr deal with the Leafs is worth around $3 M per year
GAH
Top pairing dman on the champs.

2 years probably guarantees some young D will eventually push Hainsey out by then.. on the other hand you would be stuck with Hunwick with an additional year while needing that cap space to sign Matthews and Marner.

Lance Bouma signs with Chicago
Yep, Jeff Finger 2.0

Finger was 4 years, this is 2. Hardly in the same class.

Since the Leafs decided to actually use the AHL as a development league, this is how it's gone. I don't think there was ever a chance that these young fockin swedes were ever going to start the season in the NHL.

Canucks sign Patrick weirdcock

The term honestly doesn't bother me too much, it's the AAV. $3M or so is too way much for a #6 d-man on a +35 contract
It's (obviously) not as bad as the Alzner contract but still
Such an overreaction to the Hainsey contract.
Hainsey "at about 3 million" is LESS than want Finger signed for all those years ago. That stiff was making 3.5 million per year.
@reporterchris: Dan Girardi's two-year deal with #TBLightning is official: Two years, $3M AAV.
Bottom pairing dman price is 3M+

Higher salary for one less season. He probably wanted 3 years like Hunwick got.

when the cap was much lower too
'That's the price of defenceman in the post-lockout NHL!' they said
Canucks sign Patrick weirdcock
Of course.

Yeah 3 years or more on a +35 contract would scare most teams. That's what Nonis gave Robidas 3 years ago and look what happened
