Hey DB how about a hockey post. Just once. Show us what you got. My bet is it aint much.

Ya I just don't think they want to sign up for another 6 year weight around their necks. Geez next year they finally get rid of Tucker's $$ etc at 2.5. With a Trade they are out in 3 on a lower overall number. Buyout does free up more per year but they don't need anywhere near Liles full salary gone to make it work.
- D.Lemieux

we have no idea how much they need.

Franson wants a long term deal according to reports. And if he's looking at Bogosian's contract, and their comparable stats, he's probably thinking that looks pretty good.

Beggers can't be choosers. I'm assuming Liles has no value!

retain salary, and keep the prospect..... or lower it considerably. That's WAY too much.

I'll bet two of us do. The other is behind the bench.

but that is selective.....

like I said, that same coach behind the bench played Gardiner for 27, 24, 21 and 25 minutes in the last four games of the boston series. So, he's the man!

that theory only applies to bozak

that's exactly where I was going with that.

the guy who already discovered a better partner for Franson? don't think so.
- Big_Lightnin

ya, 69 games from total played in his career... not from now.

he's no longer waiver exempt.
- Big_Lightnin

You think HB will help out with the bet when HH doesn't honor it?
Like suspend his account for life?

Can't wait for xmas to come!!!

Yea... we're gonna go ahead and keep Finn.

does Dozzer know about the bet?

Yea... we're gonna go ahead and keep Finn.
- Feeling Glucky?

yup.

trade them Franson for Strome instead.

problem solved... a 2 of them actually

does Dozzer know about the bet?
- Big_Lightnin

Not sure but someone should bring him up to speed!

OK so let's split on they made each other better. And should be playing every (frank)ing game together this year.
- honesthockey

I think they complimented each other. Fraser gave Franson the ability to get his offensive game going by being solid on the blue line and in his own zone covering up for Fransons lack of speed and at times poor positioning. Franson provided the offensive threat while Fraser covered his ass.

Yea... we're gonna go ahead and keep Finn.

haha I agree, I was just making a template. I don't see any other way around it.

we have no idea how much they need.

- Big_Lightnin

I see what you are saying but we can guess at some reasonable numbers for the 2 guys left. I also think Bog has proven more than Franson plus to keep someone in the Peg for that long you have to pay a premium. I used to live there,I know of what I speak.

Franson would sign a deal like shattenkirks for sure. IMO

He's also closer to ufa age then Bogo was......with trouba in the pipe, I think they also shot themselves in the foot. Bogo's a good young d-man, but he should've got a bridge contract.

keep $1.5M salary. take back somebody with a 900k cap hit who won't make the team.

nearly $2.5M savings for trading team.

done and done.

- mykokes

nah I don't mind it. He's gonna be their #2 next year, if they gave him a bridge he'd go WAY high in 2 years.

look at Montreal - sure they got a nice deal on PK for 2 years, but now he's gonna cost $7M+ to resign next summer... bet they wish they'd gone like $4-5M for 5yrs like he was asking.

Wheeler's contract is the one that I'd be worried about if I was as Jets fan...

<------
- joel878

Wouldn't he have to clear waivers to go back now? Pretty sure. No way that would happen.

Any guess at what the cap may be next year??

Anyone making predictions?

- honesthockey

first of all, its big D

get it right.

second of all, i was talking hockey all day while you were flipping burgers.

now before you return to the burger king night shift, here is my 2 cents on a hockey comment for you...

use tape on your stick.
