Better question, why did you read the article and then take it seriously?

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.

oh i seee what u mean now

I wouldn't give up Larsson for Vanek straight up. Ridiculous.

Poor Schneider

-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?

We can only hope

- Rseen

You say that now...

"There aren't many UFAs available that compare to Kovalchuk right now."

Ya think?

"I'll take Adam Henrique and Adam Larsson please."

Laughter.

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

That's your opinion and I respect it. I think otherwise.
Vanek will get 7 or better per after this contract.
He is one of THE BEST net front guys in the entire NHL.
If not THE BEST!
I don't want Vanek going anywhere. I will be saddened the day his talent leaves this organization!
Saddened!!!

Dear lord I hope that is sarcasm!

Why would it be? He's great in front of the net, and with the ridiculous contracts as of late, he'd probably get 8. Nobody said he's WORTH that much, but he'll get it.

Bryce Salvador and Travis Zajac straight up.

Not a chance. No way is he getting paid Crosby/Malkin/OV money...
And there is NO WAY they are getting the return that Garf is thinking either.
He's a decent player with absolutely NO defensive skill set. He is a one dimensional player.

@TH2NSTATSGUY: Kovalchuk & Clarkson scored 27% of the Devils goals over the last 2 seasons.....now it's up to Clowe & Ryder.”

Good luck with that

You're pretty delusional if you say that. He's not going to get any Selke's, but he's not a defensive liability. Also, like I said, he's not worth the money, but he'll get it. I assure you. Also, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY said we could get what GARTH is suggesting.

is Vanek actually Malkin in disguise?

Sabers need to trade a scoring winger.. ie Vanek
Going to need a miracle to make the playoffs in that division next season.

I'm with ya. Very under-appreciated.

Funny how Bruins and Leafs fans very rarely crack on the guy. They know his worth.
