Not really. It doesn't take into account guys on 35+ deals who careers were derailed due to the play of other players.

I would be really pissed if Bruins because Savard was injured on a dirty play that was a penalty and now they have to keep playing this game with LTIR and it wasn'a result of anything they did.

The CBA and LTIR isn't about dirty plays and how the injury occurred.

that Spezza deal....don't know much about Chiasson....

What do we think of that deal?

- Giroux_Is_God

spezza has 1 yr left, cap hit 7m but a much smaller salary

so he is kind of a rental player who asked for a trade, which lessened the return?

that is how I see it, could be wrong

I really like chiasson

Andy MacDonald money. Six months ago I didn't know who MacDonald was outside of there was two on the Islanders. I knew who Stralman was but I knew him as this terrible Leafs defenseman.

A nice summation of what the market for D has become.

I don't know if Chiasson should be in the top 6 of a serious contender, but he's a very solid player who Dallas fans seem to covet. I think they could've gotten more though, like maybe a serious prospect.
- JAKEw1234

And maybe a goddamned first rounder....

Seems like every deal in the last week has had some sort of head scratcher feel to it.

A Bobby Ryan trade to Philadelphia would cause the data center that houses this web site to go into some sort of red alert.

If the Flyers tell Ottawa that his childhood bedroom was littered with Flyers memorobilia, that should close the deal!

Ya I'm still confused about the Briere trade. Hopefully if a Gorges trade goes from e3 to e5 we aren't on the bad side of it.

So I could be making a sweeping generalization here, but Spezza was traded for 3 mediocre-above average (but not promising) prospects, a promising young kid, and a 2nd rounder.

That's a terrible haul.

Again.

Throw it on the pile.

It's over, nothing happened. Nothing to see here. Free Agency was a dud this year.
