I think no Olympics and younger guys stepping up will help him in the long run. If the 3 amigos (Tin man, Boils, and Blue chip) take a step back though it may not end well for the General.

I hope so but I have my doubts. He took less money on a bridge deal in order to break the bank with his next one. Since the then, he won the *Norris *(f.u. crims) and has taken over as the number one D. I think he is looking at north of 8 million, and will get it. Tough position for Bergevin and it will be very interesting to see how he gets through it.

He has no choice really PK's getting his $$ this time. Radio heads are saying numbers north of 9mil/8yrs

Yes.

It could actually work to Bergy's advantage. Now hear me out, he can say that since he "won" the Norris* in a half season he should only get paid half of what a full season Norris winner is getting paid.

This will never EVER happen again.

Nvrmnd offer sheet....what if MB shocked everyone and traded Suubby-doo's rights for a boatload of players and picks? Do they really want to pay him north of $8 million considering CP as arguably the best GT in the league is only making $6.5? If MB was gonna give him the money it would have been done...whats so hard....$8-8.5 over 8 years. No brainer.....something smells on this one.

Give him his 8, he will never be a cap hit issue.

The cap is going nowhere but up.

Also,it ain't our money Luc.

I don't think they are wrong either.

Will be interesting to see if any of the rumoured deals involving roster players will be made. I think Georges and one of Plekanec or Eller get moved this weekend.

How about his playoff performance? Worth anything?

Gorges and Pleks are not gonna be moved.....Eller, maybe.

Would have to be less than Doughty if that's the case.

I don't think 8 is the number and the cap implications for next season are there. I also wish I had Molson money.

You've probably given him enough money.

I missed your jumping in front of a bus post...

7.6 x 8 years for PK IMO
