- Cheeseballin

It's a race to the bottom and the Oil will take less if the Devs take Hemsky

Not true at all... looking at Calgary and NJ I feel a lot better about are team.

Love your avatar

its a shame that hes going to be a star in the KHL. poop like this should get you blacklisted from leagues around the world until his NHL contract runs out.

Whines about money forces his way out of atlanta really, signs the longest contract ever then just quits because he misses mommy russia? leaves the devils is a pretty bad spot too

Rico's trades lol?

-Kovulchuk to the KHL

-In turn Russia signs over 67% of it's land mass to the USA.

-Kovlchuck's salary is then used to build a bridge connecting Alaska and what is now the 51st state of America.

-President Obama trades his last year in office to send Patrick Kane to New Jersey to compensate the Devils.

-Chicago players get free lifetime passes the Disney.

How did I do?

uh oh

What type of purse do you think Myers will carry in training camp? I'm glad the BIG players in buffalo are so gritty. I hear that Hecht is opening a store in Hamburg Germany that is going to carry a line of men's handbags. Special mink fur linings for the Feminine male
- MrSquirrel

You looking for one just like it ? I know Mr. Hecht and his family personally . He is an outstanding human being no matter what you think of him on the ice and your remarks are totally in bad taste.

uh oh

better watch what I say,NSA might be tuning in. [/img]

Agree, this guy was a douche bag from day 1. Too bad, he has all the talent in the world with no heart.
- leonwaldo420

No heart? Where the hell did you come to that conclusion? Becuz he's russian? Clueless

Hecht bashing was so misplaced. He was a solid player right till the end. Never hurt the team at all and was very good defensively.

i dont understand why people respond to him. hes a bigger troll than todd

No one wants Vanek for $7 mil for ONE season when they can wait and get a better deal for him next season. STOP!
- Panthers88

Ya but one of the benefits getting him this season is exclusive rights to signing an extension with open market competition. Plus i'm sure NJ. Wants to compete immediately after signing clowe/ryder n martys last year

Huh? Math is hard. They just cleared $6 + million in cap space.
- truthbluth

Yes but they don't have any actual money. They are verging on bankruptcy.

uh parise and suter

most say clarkson could have gotten more than he got in toronto

lots of people mang

I beg to differ.
Rask just got 7mill per.
Vanek will be getting more.
- BuffaloHardHat

What Rask signed for has nothing to do with what Vanek will sign for. There are no comparables to use whatsoever.

They took a pay cut from the previous deals they were on? All of the people you listed still got raises. Some not as much as they could of because they chose where to play. Vanek will get a raise.

What!? how's a 13 yr 98 mil dollar contract with 35 mil being paid in the first 3yrs a pay cut?

And Clarkson took less money in T.O for a max length deal. Once all these other 2014 ufa's like Kessel, Callahan, Brown etc. Re-sign Vanek may end up being the best or second best FA available.

- Otsegolectric

Because he just quit on his team. No Heart. Don't care where he calls home.

Vanek will get a contract of 5-6 years 35-45MM

Why the Frank would we do either of those trade Vanek is older then every single player you suggested and Larsson and Henrique give your Franking head a shake we could get a much much much larger return then Thomas Franking Vanek for those 2 holy Frank I cant even think those offers are so stupid

- Marshalle

Maybe he was just homesick, wanted to be with and see his family more. IF that is the case, then I cannot blame him at all.

If he did it only because he is going to get a raise of 10MM per year, then I can agree with you.
