Pete won't be pleased.


I'll accept banning this kind of fighting only if they can bring guns to games!

So it looks like the Habs lost.

Who's the last RFA (2 years from ufa) that signed a 8.5M per season for 8 years deal in the NHL?
- Pecafan Fan

Bump...

Id love to see him move and shut all these Habs fans up. Aside from winning the NORRIS on a half season, he hasnt contributed anything that counted for anything, having said that he is far above Phenuff ,#3 is the biggest plug in the league by far and shouldnt be a captian

i like how NORRIS is capitalized. really drives his point home. solid communication.

Maybe one of Crosby/Malkin OV ?

Crosby?

EDIT: Yup. Went from his 3 yr ELC to $9.0M/yr, but he was 4 yrs from UFA, not 2. http://www.capgeek.com/player/476

EDIT 2: And his deal was 5 yrs, not 8...but probalby the closest comparable in terms of RFA signing for north of $8M AAV.

hmmm...


Is PK in the same category as Crosby?

I don't think he is... not yet anyway.

They are haters of the Habs. They will always exist, because any team with the history that the Habs have, regardless of their struggles since 1993, will promote jealousy. These comments and such, are the result of that.

He isn't. But salaries were not as high back then, so his number was huge.

One of the geeks will have to answer this.

well i don't understand what you're getting at. you're saying PK hasn't earned an 8-year deal?

hmmm...

They are both game-changers. Both elite players that their teams could/can not afford to lose. Crosby is a generational talent, PK is not.

I'd say they belong in the same conversation, but I would still put Crosby above PK.
