Do you want to give up next year's 1st and 3rd for him? I don't. I'm not totally sold on him.

So it is my understanding that people still want us to sign a top 6 RWer and a Dman or two??


Did i see ppl yesterday saying that Reinhart should start in Rochester too?

Tanking is not as great of an idea this year going forward as it was last year...

I believe even if you finish 30th, although you still have the best odds of winning the lottery, you can now fall as far down as 5th pick.

What he did was the equivilent to bunting the ball into the air and the catcher looking up and just putting his glove out and catching it.

I felt bad for ARZ... EDM had no business getting McDavid nor Eichel. Buf and ARZ have suffered and deserved it.

I am really hoping that ROR just priced himself out of Colorado and doesn't ACTUALLY want 7-8M per year.

I really hope that he can look around him with Kane, Eichel, Reinhart, Girgensons, Risto, etc and say "Yea I think I can make 6.5M work for 6-8 years financially to keep these guys around"

Unless they are all named Tom Brady, I doubt it. Let's hope so though..its a nice situation to be in to have almost too much young talent.

He already makes $6 million. You have to think he gets at least $7 million this go around.

I wish we could see him play a month or so with Kane on his wing before we give him that kind of money for that long. Hate to pay 7+M for a 50 pt guy.

Scoring is far from the only thing he brings to the table though. He will really help on FOs and shutting down the opposing team's #1 center. If he puts up 50-60 pts and keeps the Sidney Crosby's of the world from eating us alive he'll be worth every penny.

Gionta was just on GR saying when he signed his 3 year deal that Murray said contender within his contract.

I am all for upgrading the talent and ensure moulson and gionta are on the third line

The closest thing to compare him to is the Krejci or Bergeron contracts in Boston.. Similar point totals and "non-stat" factors to be paid for.

They are talking about Kopitar getting 10M per.. Toews getting 10.5M... Getzlaf gets 8.25M.. Backstrom at 6.7.


I guess with the direction of Centers contracts are going.. it'd make sense.

Moulson on the third line? I am confused. He seems like a prototype 2nd line LWer who can pot in a lot of goes that Eichel or Reinhart set up for him.

I am certain that the city will be happier next year with a playoff series than with a lottery pick.
