Happy Canada Day, hockey fans! Let's see which GMs make the decision that gets them fired in two years today.
That contract is a heck of a lot better than the Backes or Beleskey deals. It's not great but pretty solid as far as free agent deals go. Much better than the Yandle contract, for example. Similar players.According to @KevinWeekes via twitter 16 minutes ago:
"Unofficially,what I'm told is Shattenkirk signing with @NYRangers 4yrs 6.9 Million per year. @NHL @NHLNetwork ."
This made me spit coffee out my nose. Holy heck. Overpayment much?
Fair point, thank you.That contract is a heck of a lot better than the Backes or Beleskey deals. It's not great but pretty solid as far as free agent deals go. Much better than the Yandle contract, for example. Similar players.
$4.5m per according to Aaron Ward.Alzner to Montreal on a five year deal.
Jaffe says he left money on the table to play for the hometown team.I think that's a real good deal for NYR.
I would hazard a guess Buffalo offer him similar AAV for longer term.Jaffe says he left money on the table to play for the hometown team.
Yeah you're probably right. They needed him and didn't have to overpay in years.Shattenkirk deal is a great deal for the Ranger's even if its expensive. They're making all of the right moves right now.
Is Jagr a reasonable target? Top 6, veteran leadership for the youngsters, familiar with the city/team?Vrbata to FLA
Hartnell to NSH
Cammalleri to LA
Some of the vet wingers off the board. Marleau, Jagr, Vanek, Iginla still out there.
Well, yeah, it's insane, but mostly because you're signing him until he's 130. That's locking up a lot of post-peak years.Tweet not rendering completely but 8x10.5 extension for Price. Starting in 2018-2109
I hope not, he was awful the first time here. He might still be able to score a few points, although I would't count on him going past 40 in this system.Is Jagr a reasonable target? Top 6, veteran leadership for the youngsters, familiar with the city/team?
Word on twitter is that with the structure of it, Marleau can play 2 years, get paid out, then get traded to Vegas and retire. No idea how that works though.Woof. High number with Matthews, Nylander and Marner due for extensions over the next few seasons.
Are they just tossing Vegas in there with the Coyotes and Panthers as teams that eat contracts?Word on twitter is that with the structure of it, Marleau can play 2 years, get paid out, then get traded to Vegas and retire. No idea how that works though.
