even with the 2nd pick, theyll be stoked. pick grigorenko. id actually take him regardless.
if he was to turn into the real deal, a big, strong skilled center could end up bein way more valuable to us than another smallish scoring winger.

ben37--great location. hes ridiculous and the best player in the game right now.

Question: why would you all keep drafting forwards with your high picks and not a (frank)ing Dman? When will you learn you have to have defense as well?

And to another poster: No way in Hell you get Ryan Ellis for Hemsky

Depends on what he's looking for though... If he expects a multiple year contract at 5 mil per, he's nuts...

besides... the size of the hole that would need filling would be so small even you could fill it.



...with your penis that is



cause its small.

No D-man deserved to go before Hall or the Nuge. We drafted D-men with our other picks.

I'm just kidding big boy.... but seriously.... Hemsky isn't a big hole to fill at this point.

Yeah, I agree... And he's injured far too often. If we sign him to anything over 3 mil, we're (frank)ing ourselves.

Is it possible to give him an incentive laden contract, say 3 million base, 1 mil. if he plays 65 games, 1 mil. for 70 points etc.

I don't think you can do that... I think those kinds of contracts only exist for entry level deals and 35+... I could be mistaken though.

Yeah, that's something I'd imagine they're looking into. As long as they have money to re-sign the guys that count, that's my main concern.

I didn't think you could because you rarely hear about it, I know Sutton has a games played bonus for next year but he is 36 I believe. It's too bad because this is the perfect situation for it, gives hemsky the chance to earn the money he wants, but has to prove he still deserves it.
