LOL Yes, Melnyk has said some pretty stupid things but I wouldn't trade Melnyk for Wang EVER!
And Melnyk is starting (slowly) to come back in my good grace with the extensions of Lehner, Andy, Mac & Bobby! committing to finally spend some $$$
Now to sign Methot! (although Methot HAS to come down a bit on his demands!!!)

I don't think anyone with an IQ higher than single digits would ever choose Wang over anything.

A half-melted ice cream cone would have been a better owner than Wang.

I love G and am glad he is signed for the long term. I don't think Ryan is elite.

definitely isn't.

Agreed. I'd say he's a very-good to great (when he's on his game) player, but elite is a whole new ball park.

Exactly, thank you for saying that.

People cringing at players salaries makes no sense. Giroux is elite, he should get paid to be elite. Ryan, despite what the haters say, is ELITE. He absolutely is. And he is going to get paid to be elite.

The only time you should cringe over a long term big money deal is when you've given it to a guy who isn't elite. For reference, see what Toronto did with Clarkson. No one would be complaining about that if Clarkson was scoring 30 goals. They paid him to do that, but that's not the player he is. So he became untradeable, and a burden against their cap, since they are a team that continually spends to the cap.

But elite guys get paid a ton of cash to do this. That's pro sports for ya.

Don't misunderstand. when they did the deal I cringed. that much for one player made me wince but seeing the deals that followed obviously shows what the market is. I only care what a player makes because it IS a salary cap world. Back before the cap do you think I cared what Snider was paying the players? hell no, spend away

Ugh, somewhere is a joke about you being a boston fan and your hunger for a preference between types of chicken meat and racism is sitting there.

are you OK with Vinny's salary, what about Streit?
- Symba.007


Other than term I don't understand why people throw Streit contract out as being horrible? The guy had 44 points last season and was a plus player. He's a good offensive d-man and his cap hit is 5.25 million. Statistically speaking Montreal just gave Subban 9 per for 53 points...

What? Is that an attempt to be funny? Because you could have just show a list of the islanders roster and you would have gotten more

Ottawa had to go all in on a star player to attract other star players, but Bobby Ryan is worth this price. That is for sure
