Edmonton doesnt count

I honestly have no idea what Bryz will show up. The one who got a 50 million payday, or the one who is embarassed he got bought out.

Thing is, if he puts up decent numbers, and keeps his mouth shut, he very well could make it back.

Toronto is gonna have to eat close to half the contract to move him. Hes a decent 6/7 guy but contract sucks
- Bieksa#3


For sure he is over paid. But the market for half decent dmen that can move the puck is really inflated. Even at that, is contract it is to high. But I don't think 50% to high.

But maybe if I knew more about hockey I'd be running a team compared to posting on a msg board.

High contract plus lower cap.

Still a good player though.

It's the same old story.

If team X didn't sign him for what they did, numerous other teams would've been happy to do it.

It's just annoying being team X

For Edmontons sake and his own, I hope he can play like he did in Phx. But their D play tells me otherwise.

there are a million deals like this,... but at the time nobody said bad deal. It was fair value.

Like I said a million deals like that.

Doubt they move a d man. As mentioned earlier it will be for a 5th or 6th rounder or no name prospect and leafs eat about 2 mill per on the contract

Yep. Their D is really bad.

It'll really show what kind of puckstopper Bryz really is.



Hope he's prepared.

don't think you can trade an ufa signing that quick. Not sure,......

I think he was black listed because of his role in the union.

You realize we have at least three guys on this team (including Phaneuf) who can and/or have cleaned Scott's clock? It's funny that the greatest highlight sabres fans can take away from a game is botched hits by their goons. Enjoy the cellar...youll be there for a while.

I'm not sure Phaneuf could take Scott.... Orr and McLaren would obviously beat him like a rented mule... Oh, and Kessel has made Scott his biotch already too... so there's that

And? Teams are still gonna be reluctant to spend 4 mill on a 6/7 d man.

Depends on the team and their needs. On some teams, he might be a 3-6 guy.

We've yet to see the highlight of Phaneufs career yet, hell it may of already happened...

but we all know Scott trying to beat up a little guy, and almost laying out Phaneuf will be his only highlights.

Can think of atleast 3 teams in the NHL that he is a top 4, and if I gave it any real thought, it would likely be closer to 6-8 teams.
