I actually think Nash and Crosby could be very, very good. Nash is LW/RW and he plays with a tough forecheck...
- MattStrat

I’m not interested in Nash at all, living in north NJ I catch a lot of Rangers games, he was not impressive this season and has been trending down for a couple years. Personally I think he’s been overrated for a while

he hasn't been the same ever since he left Columbus.

If we’re talking about dmen, why not bring cole back? I’d rather have cole at 3.5 mil than De Haan or JJ at the same price

I don't think Cole wants to sign somewhere to be a healthy scratch all year long.

Madden says Jack Johnson has already agreed to a 5 year deal with the Penguins and cannot be made official until July 1.

It's Madden....but still...holy balls this could be really bad.

Someone give JR his meds. The only way I take him for 5 years is if its a 1.5 cap hit you know something tradeable.

Yikes! I believe it when I see it.

The F group still needs some upgrade, pretty vanilla.

DeHaan may be the best name in the fa market for D... 5 mil or more from someone. JJ at a 1 year show me for 2-3 would be preferable.

De Haan is gonna get paid a lot more than JJ. Or at least he should.

Good god, this day went from promising to a dumpster fire real quick

GMJR- "We're getting closer on a Sheahan deal"

Honestly would rather just have been saddled with Hunwick. JJ for five years until he's 36 is a Judas bullet of a contract. How could JR (frank) things up this bad?

Sorry is off subject, but curious:

What did you all think of Sheary? Sad to see him go, or just a Crosby/Malkin tag along?

Sooo... do I have an actual fan? Lol

Seriously. Do I want JJ at all? Obviously no. But if they were intent on signing him, a 2 year deal with higher cap hit is at least better than any cap hit for 5 years. That term is completely absurd.

Johnson at age 26 wouldnt be too bad...not so much at 36 however haha.

Seriously I can't believe GMJR would double down on the Hunwick mistake. Even at $2M....Johnson for 5 years is a terrible idea. And if it's a 5 year deal, that signals to me that they see him as a top 4

It can't be that term. That's (frank)ing ridiculous.

I always thought teams and players couldn't talk about specific contract details? Not that I think no one does, but weird Madden would have a specific length.

This is bad, no matter how it shapes up in terms of dollars. A bad dollar amount would just be icing on the cake.

GMJR has made some questionable moves in the last 18 months. I think he is starting to overstay his welcome.

edit: he now just tweeted it.

Unless it's one of those deals you sign for 2 years and then when the next lockout happens, you use a compliance buyout on him and clear him.

Nail Yakupov? Cheap. Stick him with Geno. I think Geno would welcome the mentor role at this point in his career

I heard about the trade of Sheary and Hunwick and it was 5 minutes of pure happiness. Then, I hear about Jack Johnson getting 5 F'n years and I want to cry like a baby. FVCK!!!!!!

I'm just praying it's 5 years because we're only paying him 2 mil.
