2009 NHL Draft/FA thread

LOL @ Antropov commanding $5 million. Sather told the press “a snowballs chance in hell @ that number, his agent needs to be more realistic” and got Antropov’s agent all fired up.

Hossa rejected a 10-year deal from Detroit at $3.5 mm per.

lol @ 5 million.

double lol @ snowballs chance in hell

I’m glad it’s not some stupid long contract, on the Canuck’s behalf. They would’ve been out of their mind signing a 10 or 12 year contract.

Stupid move. 10 yrs on a consistently good team? He’d have a chance at a good 4-5 cups before his contract was up. Does he really think he’s going to come across a better deal than that?

my guess is the Kings would beat that offer

GO! GO! GO! Free agent market is here.

There was a deal that almost sent Heatley to the Oilers, however it was struck dead last night. If the Sens didn’t deal him by 2 minutes ago, they were responsible for his $4 million dollar bonus. It’s pretty safe to say that if they are shelling out $4 million, they are going to keep him.

ARHHHHHHHHH NOON NOON NOON

Sure teams can ‘beat’ the offer monetarily but on what other team will he have the chance to win it all more than Detroit? Definitely NOT the Kings.

actually they have until midnight tonight to get a trade done before they have to pay the 4 mil bonus

^^^thought so…

I thought the $4 million bonus for Heatly didn’t take effect until 11:59PM tonight? Is that not correct?

:wave:

no, definately not. I was speaking solely monetarily.

My bad, I read my 12:00’s wrong.

LOLLLLL

Sitting next to a glassed up nitroinsane.

  1. Cammalleri…lol…agreed…All we need is another under 6’ foot 170 pound forward!
  2. Sabres lack a true #1 & #2 D-Man!
  3. Hecht, Lydman, Tallinder…good luck finding anyone to take on their contracts
  4. Sabres need a veteran/gritty forward (Mike Knuble/John Madden) and a blue collar d-man who you want on the ice with a minute left and up by one goal (Jay McKee/Greg Zannon).
  5. Play the kids…Gerbe, Myers, & Weber!
  6. Enough already…knock down the rest of the fucking aud! What an eye sore!
