So the Preds are inserting Neal and Ribeiro into their locker room. They must have great faith in Weber's leadership ability.

If only the Preds would insert VL's corpse into their locker room.

At least Vinny's corpse will show up to meetings and not cause trouble.

Doesn't matter, according to capgeek. Any ELC under age 20 is eligible to slide.

then why is laughton not eligible? did he sign after he turned 20?

Preds signed Roy AND Ribiero?

They really, REALLY were not going to to take Vinny unless we ate 50%, huh?

Since they donated what is roughly the net worth of the franchise to Shea Weber, I'm not sure that franchise is in a position to throw around money.

To be fair, at no point was I not expecting a decent sized contract coming back.

I would have done Vinny + 3rd for Stalberg + 5th/6th. I probably would have even eaten 900k of Vinny's deal too (20%)

I think he cancelled his gym membership and moved five states over and legally changed his name.

Man, thought for sure that guy would get blacklisted this summer, after the way Maloney aired all his dirty laundry in the open like that.
- Tomahawk



and i just saw this..


Neal also could be a wienerly presence around team staffers, media and even some teammates. Rutherford did not deny that played a part in the decision to deal him.

"Everything comes into play when we're looking at possibly moving a player," he said.



should be a fun locker room

Stalbergs deal isn't really that much better. I would do VL for Stalberg straight up though

When Fisher went down I thought Lecavalier would be in Music City by now.

I just don't think Nashville wants the term, no matter what.

Getting Party Boy Ribeiro on the Steve Downie contract (1 yr/1M) is not a bad play for them, unless he doesn't behave.

And then, that gives Lavvy the opportunity to resuscitate dry island.

It's better enough for the Preds.

They signed Jokinen, Roy, and Ribiero to deals that combined equal what we pay Vinny
