so your tellin me hes gonna wait 3 years or whatever then comeback to the nhl ???

22

no, i’m saying that any player on the penguins team shouolnd’t be worried about having to play playoff games.

23

i’d say its kinda important to protect the future of your franchise especially when hes 18 and tryin everything he can to make plays in the games and dudes r just teeing off on him.

Cairns and Gonchar r nothing alike…they r total opposites so i dunno your point.

24

I was referring to the other post sonny not yours the team isnt a contender this year for shit except the number 1 pick again …Just saying like how nedved was and other people if he retires hes still under contract with his last NHL team til the deal end they own his rights if he comes out of retirement he has to play for the penguins

25

they still own the rights to morozov too so if he comes back he has to play for them.

26

yea and Milan Kraft

27

the pens have a really good bunch of guys if they could just get them to come back for less money than they want. Morozov wanted more than Gonchar did

28

i have a hard time believing morozov wanted more than 5mil a year

29

I like seeing that Carins is a +1 for the year… He doesn’t score much, but at least he is playing good enough hockey that his +/- rating is half decent.

STI - stick to subarus bud, let smokey talk about hockey… ill bet hes forgotten more than you’ll ever know.

Smokey - wtf is going on with Noah Welch in Wilkes Barre, any idea why we havent seen him yet ??

I thought morozov stayed in russia cause the money they get paid there is tax free and he didnt have a contract here

31

actually Gonchar got 3.5 this year but would have over 5mil with bonuses and the way the contract is set up.

Morozov stayed in Russia because he wanted a crazy amount of money and the pens wouldn’t pay it. they still own his rights. if he decides to come back they will get the option to release him or pay him the cash. I believe the same goes for Kraft

32

ya, thats what i thought. also, i thought that it wasnt necisarily Morozov that wanted a ton of cash, but more-so the fact that we wouldve had to buy out his contract…and i think he mightve wanted some compensation for the gauranteed money he wouldve gotten over there.
