No it's a huge huge risk and a dumb one.

Unless last year was a fluke...I don't understand why this was done now, since the Sox have control of him for years.

No doubt... to soon to throw that kind of money at a pitcher for that term!!

The contract covers all 3 of his arbitration years and the first year of his first free agency year.

Huge risk for the Sox ..

Getzlaf is close to re-signing so I doubt he's going anywhere...Perry is likely going UFA (if he's not traded).

Dont understand that. Is ANA real thin at Center?

Who cares?

LOL touché on the Cup...and I suppose that Avs team is comparable to this Hawks team in that they've got a ton of firepower.

I may be convinced...depending on the return. He's also signed to a very palatable 3.5 for the next 3 seasons.

He'd be a nice piece to add...so would Iggy obviously...the price would be the big question ?

If the team had it their way they'd retain both. Apparently from what I've heard Getzlaf likes it there and wants to stay, but Perry is keen on testing the market. If that's true, it makes sense for Anaheim to put more effort in retaining the one that's more likely to stay.

No...John STANKS was ULTRA PHUCKING DUMB.

Iggy is too slow, and the Hawks need to give up too much for him. They need to pursue that Thompson kid, or go after a guy like Brassard who is a high speed, high skill level player. Brassard puts Bolland back in the third line spot giving Shaw the ability to fill Stalberg's vacancy on the third line.

Also, they are thin...Getzlaf (UFA), Koivu (UFA), Cogliano...and no big name prospects at C...

Bollig recalled.... there is the big move.

You really want someone with 0 playoff experience and no consistent production to speak of being your second line center in May and June?

Do you throw all that to ANA when you can throw less and get Getzlaf?
- nickmo2699

Before asking this question think of why the Ducks would trade their top line center when they are 2nd in the western conference. No team in the west outside of Columbus and maybe Calgary will make a trade with the Hawks.

I read this earlier, think its more hubris on his part to try and stick with his preseason pick

I've read some praise for this deal, but the chance of Sale being a fluke or getting hurt are high in my opinion...his resume is just too short.

But what do I know...I'm just a fan. And it's not my money.

David Haugh ‏@DavidHaugh

White Sox announce a 5-year, $32.5M contract extension for ace Chris Sale or, as it is listed in the baseball-inflation glossary: a bargain.
- philco28

Sale will receive $850,000 in 2013, $3.5 million in 2014, $6.0 million in 2015, $9.15 million in 2016 and $12 million in 2017

3. gorilla salad

some nasty ass untamed pubic hair that protrudes outta tha panties; an overgrown bush; a muff with a horrendous amount of fur.
Danielle refused to go swimming yesterday because her overgrown gorilla salad was showing.

Alex's gorilla salad is so mangy that she has to get that poop waxed every week.

Why does playoff expierience matter when you have guys all around him that do? I understand what our saying, but Brassard, if available, helps this team because he can play at their pace. That's one of the more important things when considering a target. Iginla has been a great player and has experience, but he doesnt have the legs he used to and this team plays such a fast paced style. If Stalberg and a RFD player gets Brassard your Line-up looks like this.

I want to read that they waive the guy, not return him to the lineup.

I want talent, not staged fights.

The Blues need to concern themselves with making the playoffs.

ughhhhhhhhhh whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

At least try someone else that may or may not be a player. I don't mind Bollig but liked Smith much more and who the hell knows about Morin.
