14 years 110 mil

I think that is more per year then suter

plus he gets 68 mil in bonuses

Bruce Webber was on GR saying it was slightly lower but all that contract stuff there is so much involved in it. Either way they have to room and would hope the money to keep him.

If we got Doan, Statsny (by trading stafford) and Ryan (by trading ennis), would we be much better or closer to being the San Jose Sharks? I'll hang up and listen.

the NHL standings and geography.

it's tough for a harsh-weather small market city to be attractive to UFAs unless they're contenders. hell, even huge markets like Montreal and Toronto are unattractive destinations unless they're good teams.

Cant argue either point, but with guys like Doan, Buffalo is an attractive destination due to the family environment both the city and team possess. And Doan certainly comes off as a family first type guy. That may not appeal to all players, but it certainly has helped Buffalo land and keep the players they have

i think either way the preds match this ...... i think they ve been hoping / dreaming of a team dropping a large offer sheet / contract and they simply just match it. Because now they have a top 3 NHL D on there roster for 14 years!

and it was smart for the flyers because now no east team can get him ..... but if the preds decline to match. The flyers are in some cap trouble! and just imagine what Claude Giroux is thinking .....if weber got 100 million. What am i worth?

if you look at how the played when healthy and the moves they have made you have to think they are moving in the right direction to become a contender as well

absolutely.

I think this year they are a fringe playoff team with the young kids they have growing into new roles. A year from now, with another aggressive move or 2, id say they are right in the thick of the East

True Story..

Every season the Predators put signs in their arena that they are that year's Stanley Cup Champions before the first game of the year has even been played. Signs remain the entire year.

They may not have the funds to match it. 13 million in bonuses in each of the first 4 years, 1 million in salary.

Nashville is really in a tough situation here.

I hope Nashville let's Shea go to Philly.
That way at the trade deadline we can trade McCormick to Nashville for one of those first round picks they obtained.

Hey, it's not my choice. And we cannot d/l anything or change any software here either. I'm lucky to even have Internet access, some departments aren't even allowed that.
