REally ? I must've missed one of your tweets.


D-men with talent do get paid more.

Gorges sucks and stil lgets 3,9M a year.

overpayment of 500/750k

Gorges was used as a top 2 defenseman and was a leader for block shots among the league. Craig Rivet used to suck. Gorges was kind of good, at least at what he does.

Agreed. 3.5M for a guy who plays with different, lazy and inconsistent wingers every other game, then brings it in the playoffs... I am fine with 3.5M. Slight overpayment, but nowhere near what others are getting.

He sucks and he better bring it up a couple of gears.

3,5 is a minor risk.

He asn't played one game yet out of that 4 year contract... maybe fans should chill the (frank) out before claiming this as one of the worst contracts ever

Georges had no place being a top two defenceman in this league.

He played with Subban.

Daigle.

Eller sucks. 26 points and 3.5 M

Gorges was 5th in the league : http://espn.go.com/nhl/st...fensive/sort/blockedShots.

Still pretty good.

Eller sucks. 26 points and 3.5 M

Good rebuttal.

Maybe PK will take less to keep Larry happy.

Yes, good at blocking shots and pretty much NOTHING else...

It was funny when ASP said it a couple of minutes after the signing..


Now it's just plain pathetic.

He played with him for most of the season. The others you mention barely did last season.

Thanks for prooving my point that Eller's contract compared to other players around the league ain't that bad of a contract.

I used Gorges as an example (and Emelin) because they signed their contracts with MB

Try to follow now.
