Not at all. Its 2012. That is totally acceptable these days

I'm bored

Contracts have been inflating. Players with similar numbers are easily getting 4 mil+.

Its funny, fans here have been defending Gagner for weeks saying that he is underrated. Yet when it comes time to pay him, he suddenly isnt worth as much.

Makes no sense.

I am simply looking at Duchene's new term. 2YR $7M. Gagner vs Duchene...I think we all know who we would pick between the two regardless it's apples and oranges comparision. If Duchene got 2YR $10M, then that's the going price for a centreman. All depends on market value, with the salary cap going up, yes, teams breaking their banks is not a rare event.

In fact I wonder whether the contention is term: I'd say Gagner probably either wants to be locked up long term or be able to walk as a UFA in two years time.

EDM better not let him walk for free. He gets traded ASAP.

When's Clouts back again? Saturday?

Who knows... where is Starbuck and Lahey?? How long did these people get banned for?

More until it gets lively again:

Sell the farm for yandle.

Gags, 1st 2013 and a prospect not named klefbom +

An elite offensive, puck moving dman at a very reasonable 5.2 for only 3 more seasons would do wonders for this team. The money makes absolute sense and can easily work.
Said assets goin the other way are either average or unproven.
We get drastically better immediately, and long term.

Funny that anyone thinks staying away from a player of yandles caliber and contract is the prudent move.
'Lets stay mediocre and watch the kids run for the doors. Another lottery pick is good for the team'

Lame duck whitney, question mark petry, rookie schultz, smid, schultz and potter/sutton.

Be prepared for having one the worst defences in the league again, and thus in the running for the lottery...again.

Losing sam gagner as the main piece in a deal for an elite defender is an absolute no brainer


People have to stop thinkin picks are still the answer. The core is in place and now we have to build around that and move forward. Schultz was a great start, but is still completely unproven and a rookie. Even in 2 years the chances of him being keith yandle good are incredibly slim.
Even a 60pt (!!??) gagner isnt worth a true top pairing puck mover

Your definition of selling the farm is very different than mine. One current prospect does not equal selling the farm.

They throw in a middle pick

I'd do it, but like you said, it can't be Klefbom.

If we could do it involving Hemsky a 1st and a prospect or two I'm ecstatic.

Your idea is good in theory. But just remember, "In theory Communism works. In theory"! -Homer Simpson, 1994

Ouch...

Judging by what other fans on here say about him, he should be a 2.7 M 1 year player.

You know I have no clue... I found it in one of the older threads and simply used it to decorate this one up a bit... I mean it was getting kinda dry here... Where the (frank) is StarBuck??? He is always good for some entertainment??? Lahey on holidays too or?
