Goon Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 That's why I put it in apostrophes. 39 isn't old in general, but it's old in sports. I sometimes wonder if 39 is the new 29? Jagr seems to keep clicking along and still better than a lot of 30-year old players in the NHL right now at 42. Quote
Goon Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 http://ndgoon.blogsp... (Goon's World) Ha, that was a good one. Patty goes +30 in his sleep, no matter who is on his line they will be +20 or above. Thanks, I am glad I could make you laugh, but Marchand is a good player even though he's kind of a crap head. Quote
siouxweet Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 I thought it was an excellent move when I saw they resigned him, and then I saw the timeframe. 7 years is a heck of a long time to commit to someone that 'old'. Hossa still has 7 years left on his contract with the Hawks, hockey contracts are the dumbest in any of the sports. Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Hossa still has 7 years left on his contract with the Hawks, hockey contracts are the dumbest in any of the sports. The MLB contracts of Prince Fielder, Josh Hamilton, and Albert Pujols are holding for you on line two... Quote
cberkas Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 The Penguins hire Mike Johnson Portland Winterhawks coach as the new head coach. Quote
siouxweet Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 The MLB contracts of Prince Fielder, Josh Hamilton, and Albert Pujols are holding for you on line two... they will have to hold, I'm on line one with Rick Dipietro's 15 year contract and line three with Ilya Kovalchuk's 15 year contract as well.

sioux rube Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 The MLB contracts of Prince Fielder, Josh Hamilton, and Albert Pujols are holding for you on line two... Don't forget about that former catcher in Minny. Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Don't forget about that former catcher in Minny. C'mon, Sal Butera's contract wasn't THAT bad! Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Interesting that I'm watching ESPN right now as the gang is discussing the Omer Asik trade. He'll make almost $15 million this season for the Pelicans. Quote
siouxweet Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 so Kane and Toews are both seeking $12 million per year in their new contracts. Hawks choices-keep one or keep both at that mark and destroy any further chance of winning a Cup as the team would have to be dismantled. Quote
farce poobah Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 so Kane and Toews are both seeking $12 million per year in their new contracts. Hawks choices-keep one or keep both at that mark and destroy any further chance of winning a Cup as the team would have to be dismantled. capgeek.com The cap rises by about the same amount that the salaries for these two would rise. But yes, I agree with your central point ... a top-heavy roster can't consistently contend in the new NHL. (Example: Pittsburgh ... superb top 6 players ... then a steep fall off.) That's just the reality ... less spent on the top 6 means a team with better depth. Quote
keikla Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 so Kane and Toews are both seeking $12 million per year in their new contracts. Hawks choices-keep one or keep both at that mark and destroy any further chance of winning a Cup as the team would have to be dismantled. I wonder if they are trying to approach it together (like Parise and Suter), especially since they have the same agent. As good as Kane is, Toews' intangibles make him worth more in my opinion. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 To me it looks like it's time to be a LAK fan. All their guys are locked up at good cap numbers. Quote
scpa0305 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 To me it looks like it's time to be a LAK fan. All their guys are locked up at good cap numbers. Wait until 2015-2016....then Kopitar will get a big deal. As someone previously noted, the team caps will be increasing by a significant amount next summer. CHI simply needs to make it work this summer. Also, they'll both come down a little, Bowman is a great GM and he'll figure something out. Quote

Goon Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I read that the cap this seasopn is going to be 69-70 million. Quote
Ray77 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Free Agency opens up today at 11:00 am...any predictions? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Free Agency opens up today at 11:00 am...any predictions? Surprises, lots of surprises. OK, OK ... too easy. Buffalo has to spend $21 million just to get to the salary floor (not the cap). 2014-15 cap is $69 million; the floor is $51 million. http://www.capgeek.com/ Quote
SiouxScore Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Free Agency opens up today at 11:00 am...any predictions? My guess is Vanek and Willie Mitchell to Minnesota and that Niskanen will get the biggest deal of all the free agents. Quote
I Ranger Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 My guess is Vanek and Willie Mitchell to Minnesota and that Niskanen will get the biggest deal of all the free agents. Niskanen was back in Virginia a couple weeks back and said he would like to play in Minnesota and would be willing to take less money to do so but money talks and I can see him taking the biggest offer as well.

SiouxScore Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Niskanen was back in Virginia a couple weeks back and said he would like to play in Minnesota and would be willing to take less money to do so but money talks and I can see him taking the biggest offer as well. The Wild beat writer Michael Russo wrote in his latest article that the Wild aren't going to make an offer to Niskanen. I think they wanted him on a shorter term like 3 years and he can easily get a 6 or 7 year contract from someone. Russo mentioned Tampa Bay and Washington as destinations that make sense and I think Detroit has him pretty high on their list as well. Quote
