Seems like Pitt's taking on the whole salary. If I'm Toronto and the plan to build it up from the ground again, I'd probably eat as much money as possible to maximize the return.
I'll bet pushing it a year helped make it palatable for Chicago, since Bickell and Versteeg will have $0 cap hits, then. EDIT: Bickell's got two years left.cshea said:Chicago extended Anisimov for 5/$4.55 AAV. Extension kicks in after next season, but what in the world is going on there?

TOR gets 1st round pick, Kapanen and Harrington for Kessel from PIT.
Downie is a lot better. Who's dirtier, him or Rinaldo?PedroSpecialK said:Downie's deal is 1 year, $1.75m - not bad if you're OK with employing a dirtbag.
Just got Rinaldo rage all over again

Phil already ate it all.cshea said:Toronto eating 15% of Kessel's deal. Phil is eating the other 85%.
Try the veal.

Downie hasn't done anything dirty in quite a while, although if you factor in the entirety of their careers, he is. Now he just racks up PIMs b/c he's dumb.
Depends on your definition of dirty. Rinaldo runs guys but it's more stupid hits than deliberate dirtiness. Downie's stuff, you watch what he does and there's clear intent.Greg29fan said:

I honestly don't see it. I'm not super worried about that one.PedroSpecialK said:
I've got an awful feeling that he'll be coming here for like 4 years, $5m AAV or something stupid

Where are you guys hearing this Shattenkirk stuff? Sign me up.

Green was 3rd in p/60 amongst all D with 1000 minutes of 5x5 time. I think he's still got some value as a right shot PMD. Does need to be sheltered, but still has plenty to offer. I'd rather pay extra for a shorter term, like the Wings did.
