I believe that Gaborik's 7-yr deal is worth around $4.9 M or $5 M a year. I am working to confirm.


Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun · 25s

Yup, the AAV on Gaborik's deal is $4.9 M

That's actually really solid moneywise, but like 3 years too long

Yup. Gaborik is a good player, but I'm not sure about locking him up for that long...or rather, being locked to him...

AYFKM?

i've wondered this every day for over a decade, even though i stopped reading his drivel a long time ago.

dramaccio takes a lot of poop.

- hammarby31




perhaps my point was too subtle for internet text. what i meant was, when panotch shovels poop, no one turns it into a sexist jab that he had to have been (frank)ing someone to have gotten his job (as the initiator of this conversation did),

my point was NOT that my hockey knowledge is so hipsterishly excellent that i'm the only one who notices that panotch is full of it.


edit: and i lied about that being the last thing i was going to say about the subject. so sue me. see if i care.

Gaborik making Umberger money. Can't wait to see RJ go off for 13 goals in the playoffs this year!

i missed your intent, as others have indicated what it was, but didn't bother to go back and edit my post.

i'm not litigious, so don't worry about it.

Pretty sure once we see year by year breakdown of Gaborik deal we'll see a 7th year with least money in order to bring down AAV



That's what I'd like to see. I'm sure the first 2-3years could be around 7 per
