Spooner signs for 1 yr/$2.85M
- Thread starter Titoschew
- Start date
Stings a bit given his lack of 5-on-5 value, but it won't kill them - certainly preferred over a 2 year deal, and especially (gulp) the $3.85m figure.
He's probably worth almost that just for his PP ability. If he can give them anything at 5 on 5 it'll be a good deal
I've heard rumors Boston could have potentially gotten him a bit cheaper on a 2 year, but didn't seem to have any interest in doing that.
I still think it is < 50/50 he is on the team by December, if not by training camp.
Money is basically fair for what he is

Money is ok. I don't like the idea of him playing for the Bruins and want either Czarnik or JFK in his spot. I loathe the player, and he's only good on the PP. I don't see a role for him long term, and really want him to be traded like yesterday.
Still, good to avoid arbitration. I would imagine it would have gotten very nasty in that hearing.

In the current iteration of the NHL and the way the game is played (centered around speed, skill, quick transitions from D-O, etc.) it's frustrating to watch Spooner play when he is in the lineup. His level of timidity is mind-numbing at times.
Hopefully he can be traded and JFK will get a long audition in camp to take the third center's spot.
