We should ask for their 1st 2 years from now instead. Since their just starting their rebuild it'll probably still be a top 5 pick, and it gives us a much better chance at getting that next-crosby prodigy kid who's draft eligible in 2 years.

Aaaaand how do you know there will be a player like that in the draft?

Looking at some of these deals getting handed out today, if anybody thought I supported Paul Holmgren before, I've doubled down.

Ryane Clowe for $4.85 million a season? For five years? For three goals and 16 points?

David Clarkson for seven years? At just shy of $6 million per?

And people complained about Scott Hartnell's six year at $4.75 million? Seriously? David Clarkson's getting SEVEN YEARS.

I think Paul Holmgren doesn't get nearly enough credit. Not nearly enough.

I Admit defeat. Haha hartnells deal looks fine now! This is why you don't trade harts or simmonds

Im with you.

I've ripped Hartnell on here a lot, but for what some of these other guys got in FA, Hartnell is a steal.

Wow, the longer this goes (Besides Razr) I suspect the bigger the bomb that Homer will drop later on.

Not even any chatter about what they might be up to?

It will be a cold day in heck before I watch Coutourier become the second coming of Joel Otto to the Flames!

Still think Nashville will enter this story one way or another.

There is a kid like that. I think he grew up in Crosby's home town, and he's like 15 and was the best player at the U18 tourney this year. Nichushkin was there and he was apparently still the best player there.

Until Hartnell has a bad stretch during the Season. Then the trade Hartnell bandwagon will start up.

So if Clarkson get's close to 6M a year, how does that make Giroux's 8.25 deal look? Had that discussion this morning.

Also, Emery for 1.65M could be a steal. If he plays to the same level as he did this past Season in Chicago. But there will be a different team in front of him, obviously.

With the term and money being given out today homer should be arrested right now! He is robbing people blind. Outside of dmen we have many great team friendly contracts right now. This team is going to be deadly in a couple years.

The one thing with Toronto, they are building a female dog of a team to play against.
