The Semin hate is strong...

The guy puts up better numbers than Nash and Parise, but HE (frank)ING SUCKS ZOMG!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday QP said it was a good signing. My comment was a shot at him. Who, when news came out the Armstrong was getting bought out said was horrible then went on to say how Armstrong will help the team after he signed.
- mr.peanut

I don't think it is a bad or great signing.

He is a 4th line plug, who has a chip on his shoulder from being released by the Leafs and wants to prove he deserves a better contract.

At best, we have a solid 4th liner, at worst, we have the same type of trash in the bottom 6 we had last year.

*shrug*

Up to $28M in the first 12 months... 2X $12M signing bonus on July 1st this year and next.

Count this player in for not caring if there is a lockout... get paid anyways.

It's disgusting. I for one would forego $28 Million for the good of the league.

Yeah, if it does't work, just (frank)ing waive him. The end.

Looks like Armstrong's signature is pending a physical.

jeez do they really care that much about his handwriting?

Agreed. Never understood the Semin hate. If he were Canadian we would be praising his heart.

you do know your team still doesnt have a goalie right?.....and i mean you signed Jay Mclement....amazing!

Not with Prust. FA is a definition of overpayment, but he will help this team a lot.

Numbers don't lie...he as elite skill. Even Ovechkin wasn't playing well in that system.

But would you be happy with a 10 yr 50-60M deal?

The only one with the giant boner is the agent, any star player will make more than enough money to live a great life on, including the next 5+ generations of his family.

I meant Armstrong would be no better or worse than the guys we had last year, but there is a potential upside.

Not what he said.
- Pecafan Fan

Thankfully there would be a lockout clause that would still allow him to get that money. WTF is that about?

Agreed. Never understood the Semin hate. If he were Canadian we would be praising his heart.
- mr.peanut

If Semin and his agent were smart, they would make a 1 year deal with the Red Wings.

I am sure they will more than make up for it the following contract.

PLAN THE (frank)ING PARADE

Now they just need to work on the top 6 and the D.

It's disgusting. I for one would forego $28 Million for the good of the league.

I'd rather have Parise. Just saying

I said it's a low risk signing. That's all. Never talked about the player.

Moose back in NJ.

You know what would be lower risk?

Not signing him at all. But whatever... done is done and Therien has he new pet player int he dressing room.

It's better him than Engqvist, Geoffrion, Darche and Palushaj.
