Its our division losses that will keep us out of the playoffs.

Usually players in their prime receive higher compensation than players with potential. I think Smith is likely being paid based off what he did last season, which also happened to be in a top 6 role.

I would be really happy if Matthias is resigned for around 3 but I think 4 is the minimum, teams will see a 27 year old 6'4 225 lbs center/winger who scored 20ish in a 3rd line role.

If we sign him for 4 it would be to trade him away, 4mil is 2nd line money. He may be having a good year but he is a 3rd liner that can slot 2nd when needed,

True..but blowing points vs the NJD, BUF and ARZ of the world sure hurt.

What did Whipper get banned for?

Don't worry, Flames will be right there with us once LA and SJ pass us both for good in the division. I admire the Flames tenacity but sorry dude...

Always a gentleman.

I also read that is was Matthias' dream to play in van(forget where i read it). That will often get a discount.

I think he would have already signed if that were true.

His agent is the one that will not discuss contract terms yet, not Matthias. If we learned anything from the Ryan Johanson signing is that the player has no say in his contract.

That's the kind of thing you say while looking for a new contract.

Lynch just re-signed with Seahawks

Reilly Smith just signed an extension worth 3.45 over 2 years and has 12 goals on the season.

Anyone still think that Matthias and his 16 goals and UFA status is getting signed for under 4 this year?
- belcherbd

That money is from last yr when he actually put up decent numbers.

Glad you guys won. I want the Bruins to miss the PO

Glad they won as well, keeping the flames vs Nucks round 1 dream alive.

TBT I will just want to see them make it. They way we have been playing and all of our injuries , making the PO will be a challenge

You're f2cked if you don't want your team to make it. Don't deserve it my as$.

Tanev has to be close

Couple of games at the most

I Can't stand Weber or Stanton.

I expect Juice will be back sooner, I don't think Tanev has returned to the ice since he tried over a week ago.

Don't be sorry, I agree.

I'm also sorry that your team sucks.
