Has Bishop been moved yet? same principles apply.
- Tanooki

not the same, bishop is signed this year for 5.95, Andersen was UFA.

Come on Lou. Some things you are hanging on to don't work any more. Give the kid a bonus structure and let's get this done. Every one else in the league does. Not like we are on a tight budget here like with Harold Ballard

same thing, RFA has a pending price tag..meh

Both issues are unrelated.
Matthews bonus structure will not be linked to any trades/UFA signings next two months.

That's what I don't understand. Why do people always talk about him being a backup? He was clearly their starter

They had to make a choice and went with the younger option. He's not a cast-off.

Bernier was a backup when he was signed, and continued to play as such. Andersen has been the guy before
- WingmanWillie

What do you mean?

He was drafted by LA and traded to TO....when was he a backup when he signed?

Wasn't he?

Actually it was used to pick Tobias Lindberg

So essentially, the Sens parlayed Ben Bishop into Dion Phaneuf's left nut

Umm what did i do now?

Absolutely. It's going to be nice having a starting tender capable of playing the majority of games unlike James and Jonathan

Well lets hope.

Going to be interesting to see how that poop show shapes up.

Do they put Lucic with McDavid? Yak with him? Ride the Maroon train that was doing well last year? Save Lucic for Nuge to back up his 13 year old frame?

They are going to be better, a lot better.

People raggin on sweet Lou when there are no actual details out there.

Someone mentioned in a media non-story that Lou didn't care for bonuses in new Jersey and all of a sudden that's exactly what is happening here.

Dog days

I don't mind him instilling that he is not necessarily worth more than anyone else on the team... but then again you don't want to burn bridges this early on. His most important contract will be after the ELC is done, and we're going to want him to take a pay cut then as well

If they sign him when does he get added to the cap?

Maybe that has something to do with it? Ionno.

Shanahan laughed it off and said relax he's going to be signed. So thats what I am doing

The only question should be, do you want it in big bills or small bills

When asked, Auston was basically like, "oh, I haven't even thought about it; I'm sure they're working it out...".
