My best guess, something a little less than Santiorelli's 875k after a PTO. Carolina, Vancouver (only because Benning) or New Jersey. All three of those teams could use another depth forward.

Almost wonder why they picked up Rinaldo and didn't wait on paille a bit and then extend him a low ball offer for 900K.... let talbot go through waivers and bring Paille back....

The thing I don't like about Paille is that he is a "jack of all trades" that kind of lets you down in all areas. He's too good to be bad, and too bad to be good. I rather Talbot who has his role and will stay on that fourth line, than have Paille slotted in on the top line here and there by Julien and screw up chances that P.J. Stock could have buried.

He is speedy, but he just sets us up for disappointment every time. He's in the right place, at the right time, but can't do anything about it. I rather have someone be in the right place half the time, burying it, than have someone squander every opportunity.

Damn, a PJ Stock reference! I saw that dude not too long ago... I think it was on the NHL Network.

Stock's been stinking up the airwaves up here for years now. Tough as nails as a player, dumb as rocks as a TV commentator. Dude is annoying as hell.

Wouldn't have been overly opposed to bringing back Paille but whatever time to move on. Am a little surprised he hasn't been picked up to be honest but it's been a weird off season.

Love the guy. He is always a host on NBC I think? I remember his fights were nasty, I occasionally watch them on youtube for nostalgia

He is a host on CBCs Hockey Night in Canada I believe. He was a tough SOB on the ice, but is a complete hack on tv. He tries way too hard to be the center of attention on any broadcast I've watched, being overly eccentric in hopes of emulating Don Cherry. Clown shoes.

EDIT: not a host, but a color-guy

Maybe he has a future in golf, just like Happy Gilmore.

They both equally suck at hitting an empty net.

Yes, you are correct, CBC, not NBC. My bad.
