Giroux has a real go-getter attitude. You could say that he really likes to grab the bull by the ass.

I think you mean bull by the horn... Oh you... I see what you did there

no

This is one of the problems with the league. People trying to justify a bad contract by comparing to another bad contract. Both of those are horrible horrible deals.

Dion should be paid 5-5.5
Orpik 4

Niskanen ....I don't even know where to begin with this one

Corey Schneider re-signs 7yrs 42mill 6mill cap hit

I hate Rielly because he can't just spell his name "Reilly" like every other Reilly ever in the history of anything.

Corey Schneider re-signs 7yrs 42mill 6mill cap hit


- dmarsden2988

wow he got more then quick

10.5 a year! WAY TO MUCH. Kane and Toews are awesome, no doubt. But 10.5Million for 8 years straight?!!! Holly crap, that is almost 1/3 their salary. I expect a big name or two leaving next season via trade. Maybe Sharpie... Great players, but way to much to be spending on two guys. I thought 7.5 a year for Suter and Parise was scary, can't imagine what Hawks fans are going through.

Not really. Every year the contracts go up, it's the NHL's version of inflation. You can't compare a guy that signed his contract 2 years ago to a guy that just signed his today.

Forgetting all that, he didn't get more than Quick. Quick's contract is worth $58M to Scheider's $42M. Schneider just has a higher AAV.

Please explain your logic.

Longer deals tend to be more cap friendly and on top of that as pointed out he signed 2 years after Quick's extension

Miller gets more than quick
Lundqvist gets alot more than him too

Please explain your logic.

It's wrong, nevermind

I didn't realize Quick's contract dropped that much at the end.

Two best players in the game. Yeah I'd be bummed out too.

Not really...
Higher AAV means he got MORE money over SHORTER period of time.

That's what I thought, but not in this case.

Quick's on a 10 year deal, he makes 7 for the first 7 years, and then he'll likely retire.

You cannot discount the cheap years...
With cap recapture penalties and all, it's not valid

So, you think it's a good deal? 21 mil for 2 players?

Ok? It still doesn't change the total value of the contract. And Quick's is higher and was given during a time when NHL contracts were not, on average, as high as they currently are.

It's better than the alternative.

over the next 6 years, Quick will make the same amount as Schneider will in the next 7.

Who knows what Schneider will get after that.

In the first 7 years of both their contracts, Quick gets paid more per year.

It's better than the alternative.

Giroux has a serious case of man hands

It's better than the alternative.

Playing with each other?

According to Sheriff Shanny- Toronto's acquisitions this off season should be viewed as accomplishments... So I guess Phaneuf stays
