It's a game worn jersey. It's got a butter stain from the popcorn on it.

Other than Obama, he might be the most overpaid person in America.

Just think, Shelley makes more money than a heart surgeon....

maybe i should have had Shelley screw my leg together last friday....

That's well documented.

If the difference between Carle and Suter is approx. 1.5 million per season, (or roughly the cost of Shelley's cap hit) it's a no brainer to me. Suter does everything better, why not pay the premium and get the superior player?

I like me some Suter.

Suter is the better overall player. But he doesn't do everything better then Carle.

I dunno.

The Pens always seem to get a timely power play against the Flyers in the playoffs.
And usually end up scoring.

*visions of Staal grabbing Carter's stick under his arm and holding it there to draw the PP still haunt me*

He has 51 turnovers to Suter's 39. However he has more hits than Suter.

I think it'll be hilarious to hear people female dog about Suter if he signs here for $7mm and isn't a huge upgrade on Carle...because he won't be. Then we'll hear people complain about paying an elite price tag for a very good player.

Of course, some folks complain about the color of the tape a guy uses on his stick.

Wife is. I'm imported so to me it is meh. In fact I have not paid much attention to college BB since I became a hard - core hockey fan. It will be NUTS here on game day though. If they win it all I am heading for the safety of my basement, just like when the tornadoes rolled through. It will be absolute chaos. Like Habs fans after having their sense of entitlement crushed with a first round loss, only happy. They were burning couches in the streets last week just for making the final four.

Or when Orpik took the dive in front and Knuble got the penalty for cross checking. Never saw a guy go down easier. I hate playing them in the playoffs.

To be fair, it's game issued, not game worn

edit: that should actually make it worth more.

- wilsonecho91



Why? Because he didn't bleed profusely on it so it isn't a biohazard?

Is suter worth 7? Rather have Carle at 5.5.

IMO, Suter's not worth $7mm. I wouldn't like to go above $6-$6.5mm at the most. I agree he's better than Carle, but it's not like the gap between Shea Weber and Johnny Boychuk.

Do you think Burke lost it? Grabovski for 5.5 mil

p.s. I know I am late and comparing apples to oranges but that still makes me laugh

Ding ding ding

Sign Grossmann and Carle. Think about a one year deal for Kubina or look into finding another (younger) big crease clearer if Pronger isn't coming back. Be super sweet if Prongs actually can make it back, then you waive Shelley and do whatever else is necessary to fit him under the cap. Boom. Done. I'm pretty happy with the make up of the blue line.

This isnt a "knock" on Carle but how come he never gets voted to the All-Star game? Do you think people dont get to see him enough to showcase how good his skills are? Do the Flyers do a bad job with their PR to have this guys name out there? I think about what you said, that Suter isnt that much of an upgrade over Carle but I cant figure out why this guy doesnt get that respect.
