Not going to happen in Detroit either. from Fibbs.

$10 says the Sens finish higher in the standings than the Meh Things next year

Hope Sens fans boo him like he's at the ACC.

dom, who's taking over Yumchah mantle as Red Wing hater in the East.

 

Valtteri Phipoola goes to Tampa Bay.

 

Tend to agree. He was the biggest fish in the FA pond though. And its not a 7 or 8 million hit. They were paying Grabovski 5.5. Hope Clarkson is a better value at almost the same dollars. Bolland and him are a huge upgrade over what we had last year.

 

Henry, you mean datsuck

 

Damn, Sens get Bobby Ryan. Like I said, they will finish ahead of the Meh Things.

 

Wow, Ryan with Spezza is going to look good.

 

Whaddya know, B's sign Iginla to a 1 year deal.

 

Jerome Iginla, bandwagon jumper.

Interesting contract. Base of 1.8 that could go as high as 6 with performance bonuses. Does that mean Boston has to stay at least 4 million under the cap, just in case?

 

Leafs sign Bernier. 2years at 5.8.

 

Not sure how that works. It's 1.8 plus 3.5 bonus for games played plus another 500K for points and playoffs.

 

I could be wrong, but I think the Blackcawks just signed a "brand name" "decorated" goaltender.

 

Is he still gonna be booed?

 

Read that any bonus money he earns is carried over as a 2014-2015 cap hit. So they could be paying him next year even if he's not there.

IMO he's washed up and won't help the B's much.

 

So, Iginla is the new Hossa? Jumping from contender to contender until he gets his Cup?

 

With Lucic and Krejci/Bergeron, I think this just may work. He's not the super-elite player that he was in his prime, but Iginla can still be a good player with the right linemates, methinks.

 

The way I'm reading it, he's a 6 million dollar cap hit regardless of how much he actually gets paid. He may only get paid 1.8 million but he's still a 6 mil cap hit.

He could be a good replacement for Horton in the short term. He may be a better player than he was for the Pens if he's playing in his natural RW position.

 

All he needs is that nice shiny 12 year contract

 

That's the secret to breaking the curse! Look at Hoss now: 2 Cups.

 

Well I finally got a straight answer to how the bonuses for Iginla count towards the cap. Apparently it's 1.8 mil this year and whatever he earns in bonuses counts against next year. It has to do with bonuses, over 35 contracts and a 7.5 percent cap cushion apparently.

^ see post 38295.

 

They signed Khabibulin.....again. Why, I don't know. I'd rather have Emory back for another year.

 

Emery

 

What doesn't make sense is that Emory signed with Philly for $1.65 million. Khabibulin signed for more with the Blackhawks.


I'm sure Ray saw more potential for him to play with the Flyers, now that Crawford has solidified himself with a Stanley Cup in Chicago.

 

fixed

 

Gosh, you're really putting your money where your mouth is with that bet. You play penny slots too?


As they say, familiarity breeds contempt. Now that Teh Count has let us be back in the same division, I expect nothing less, so bring it bish! First order of business: grow a pair of man~'s.

Oh, and that's the last time I take you up on your "sweet" tickets next to April.

Yea Chris....he'll be like Rodney Dangerfield-no respect!

 

 

It will be interesting to see Detroit's style of play in the Eastern Conference.

I suspect, they will do quite well. Because, many (not all) of the East's teams will be run ragged trying to chase the Wings around.

 

It will definitely be interesting to see Detroit and CBus bring their Western style play to the East

 

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

 

C'bus already sports a mostly EC castoff roster, so same diff.

 

True, they've been picking up eastern conf scraps for years

 

Good riddance, and don't come back!

 

 

Yeah, like I'm gonna trust a Canadian with a name like dom when it comes to hockey talk.

No thanks, I'll keep getting my info from a man whose name and heritage screams hockey knowledge.

Yummy, is Bollig preparing to kick Beibers ass? According to him, Beibs is more hated in Chitown than Raffi Torres.

 

He sure got off the LA bandwagon and onto the Chitown bandwagon fast :gheylaugh:

 

Overblown. Yeah, so the bandwagoner stepped on the Hawks logo...it's a big no-no/cardinal sin...But, not the first time someone accidentally did that when visiting the Hawks room.

Whatever, slow day in hockey news, I suppose.

 

Still, Beaver is an @$$clown. How he calls himself an "artist" blows my mind.

 

Rumor has it that it was more than stepping, I heard he Taylor Swifted right across the logo.
