Eric Staal to MIN. 3 years. $3.5M AAV.
- MCharisma91

Not bad.

You're right, it doesn't make much sense for the Canucks....but value wise, and skill wise...I do think he was the best available.
- ThePresident

i like the perron deal the best so far

I was disappointed. because I like Lums..
- MCharisma91

It really was disheartening to read that.

But for that money...

What does Garth think?

Per @TSNBobMcKenzie, #Wild sign Eric Staal to a 3-year deal at a 3.5M cap hit. Steal.

If we didn't have Bozak, I would've loved to do this deal.

Is going to be a steal....Vanek is the next steal in my opinion, given the right environment...and linemates.

That would have been decent.

I bet Staal retires after that contract is done.

Little high and too long

That's what she said.

I think maybe I won't even bother defending the Leafs when people come on chirping that no free agent wants to sign here.

Seems to be true, also seems to not be a bad thing when you look at these (frank)ing atrocious contracts being handed out like skittles

Stay the course, Lou

Demers, Martin, Gaustad and Wiz.

Get it done for cheap.

No question if he can sustain that production from last year.

Might be that the Leafs don't want to sign any free agents, also.

Carter Hutton to STL

Heard Martin wants 3M-4M .. I wanted him before I heard that $$$

I haven't seen a lot of bad contracts to be honest.

I'm confident that there will be no wacky tobaccy deals coming from the Leafs either.

I got nothing against IBN .. he's a (frank)ing funny guy on Twitter who rips on people. I follow RumourBreak for the daily laugh . But of course, I stick with the Bob/Elli/LeBrun/Dregs ... I like Kyper a lot. Got that Kessel deal & the PK deal the other day
- MCharisma91

I could be a funny guy all day on twitter too if I didn't have a real job

Ok nvm

Demers, Martin, Gaustad and Wiz.

I wouldn't mind Martin..

edit: stay away from Martin please. If we're going to "overpay" for him.,..might as well throw an extra mill or so and grab Boedker..

What does Garth think?

#RedWings agree to terms with Frans Nielsen on 6-year deal.

IBN called this a couple days ago
- MCharisma91

I predicted this two weeks ago. Not too difficult tbh to predict this.

I wouldn't mind Martin..

Ya (frank) that.. Maybe on a 1 year deal lol..

heard he cleaned up his act recently.. always had the skill, but his attitude/character was (frank)ed.. but if he indeed gotten better, good for him. Hope to see him succeed!
- MCharisma91

I jest, but Kostitsyn .A is the big culprit here of the Nashville fallout. Radulov used a strong small performance to get his return money to the K despite the controversy. Interested to see him this year
