I am getting the sense the "new" regime is committed to not overspend, did not get involved with the likes of Poulliot/Raymond at the steep price and picked up 3 solid players at a very good cap hit, I like what I have seen so far

You have to realize too...with money for RFA's being factored in...right now they probably only have about 3M available...

So...there could very well be trades in the works as many have suggested

5 years for 27.5 mill for Brooks. Good deal for Brooks, not for Wash.

Seeing on HFboards Orpik got a 5 yr deal? There is no way this can be true

27.5 mil Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ha

Man with some of this crazy money getting dished out, we got the deal of day. Top 2 or 3 dman for 4 mil.

Kuli holding out for every penny. I hope Pens don't over pay because he's worth more here than anywhere else.

and got $27.5M !!!!

Greiss signing mean the end of Zatkoff/Vokoun? Or is he a legit option at #1 goalie and have something bigger in the works with Fleury?
- YouMeAndDupuis9

I don't think that he's a legit #1, but he might be. I will say this, if the plan is replace Fleury with a Hiller or Reimer or one of those "average" guys who have some questions, Greiss is a much better looking backup than Zatkoff.

27.5 mil Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ha

Holy ^%*#.....and to think we got Ehrhoff for 4. Unbelievable. Im beginning to warm to the idea of UFA day more than the deadline with GMJR.

Just wow on the Orpik contract

Yea I'm thinking hes a great 1B goalie. .920 save % last year. If we bring in Hiller at $3 now...I'm happy with that tandem at $4M.

I don't even know how to respond to that...

Someone nominate his agent for "Agent of the Year"?

Where the (frank) is the top 6 help?

Hemsky gone to Dallas that desire can die now
- Reverend Killtaker

Thank God. We already have two of the most fragile players in the game ... didn't want to add a third at a cost of north of four million.

Not only that this day is far from over, you can bet your plasma grenade on that(that joke was in honor of the recent Killian ban)

Well i guess pens r done for today jr to speak at 3

If we would have gotten Hemsky on that steal of a contract, i'd call this FA day complete. Still need forwards as of now...there is a trade coming, imo.

This is for Bartley to go along with his 197 hits Comeau has 53.0 CF%

Where the (frank) is the top 6 help?

GMJR said top 9 forward...and 4th liners

Orpik will be 34 at the start of the season... an old, beat up 34... And he got 5 years!
