Don’t know if I’d go that far. The Hossa pickup certainly seems to be working well. They’ll be a real playoff threat when Sid comes back.

does anybody else think we should extend his contract this summer for like 6-7 years and give him 25-30 mill? he would take it in a heartbeat, and he has slowly progressed into a point per game player on a team with virtually no true star power…

keep that C on his chest too, i like the way it looks on him.

Pommers?

I don’t think he is worth that much yet… Tho I agree that we should lock him up now, while he’s still cheap.

i disagree… i think he is definitely a 3-4mm/year player. worth every penny. he should get a roy-esque contract.

:doh:

I misread it as 6-7 mil / year.

Yea, I agree.

I just don’t have the faith that mgmt will ever see it that way, or sign off on it. He’ll prolly end up being another star-to-be that gets to walk away.

yeah pominville is looking real good this season, but we’ve seen that before. coughcoughvanekcough. I would agree tho that locking him in at 3-4 mil would be a smart move.

well, not that anyone will remember, but you heard it first here… could you imagine what a steal it would be to have a ppg player locked up for that long at 3-4mm/yr??? seriosly. even if he was a 50-60point/yr player with a consistent 20-30 goals, its still a good deal. i guess i just dont see where the risk is…

im barking up the wrong tree. anyway, gotta win this one, otherwise its all a waste (more than likely)

im not saying we give him vanek money. half of vanek money, to be exact 😃

this also isnt a flash in the pan this year, he had 34g+34a for 68pts last year, and put up good numbers in his rookie season (including one of the most clutch goals in the post season).

i just dont think the situations are even close to comparable.

yeah i tend to agree with you, and like I said, for 3-4 million a year, yeah we should definitely sign him. I was just kinda saying “Hey, hes good, but look what happened when we gave vanek big money”
