On a bit of a related topic, with respects to salary/contracts I've also found some useful information on this site:

http://www.spotrac.com/ - it's obviously not capgeek but it does have some fairly good details of various players contracts, including cap-hit and length etc. Check it out

(Carole, are you aware of this site? if so, what are your thoughts?)

Does anyone know anything about this Blair Jones kid? apparently the Canucks signed him today (28 year old C) for a cap hit of $600k. Seems he's been around a bit, Tampa, Calgary, and Philly but didn't stick with any of those. I suppose he's a roster fill in for Utica, I would imagine?

(just thought I'd pass along this little tidbit (six degrees of separation, indeed) : "Jones fought Dale Weise in the brawl between the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks back on January 18th, 2014 that subsequently got then head coach John Tortorella infamously suspended 15 days without pay"

Silverberg and Hagelin have yet to sign.

Plus I can't believe Bieksa is their highest paid D-man

I don't think anyone with the club would ever admit they are in tank mode. But I do think JB is ensuring there are openings for new players beyond Sven and RonnyK.

A little more youth in the lineup, surrounded by some vets, I think they will still try to make the playoffs and that may or may not happen. And it will be good for the club either way.

Vatanen is due for a very large raise. I put money on him being their highest paid D after next season.

Was at the pool in the MGM Grand today , I seen more plastic stuffed into bikinis than a Visa manufacturing company. We spent 100 dollars in 4 hours at the bar service, I told the GF she is not allowed any more Pepsis , it gets too expensive,

Sanguinetti is gone I don't care , Heineken seems to be a wonderful pain killer.

Wait until I get back to kill each other.

100 in 4 hours I wish I drank that slow lol. I spent about 200 in 20 mins waiting for a show to start once all on bud. It's easy when their 10 bucks a pop and your buying for 4 lol

Love the vegas. Mgm is one of my faves.

Vatanen and Lindholm will soon be due some decent raises. Two young and damn good D men.

Not sure what Fowler is locked in at either off the top of my head.

Sean Monahan is really happy about Ryan O'Reilly's contract.




- classic321


Like if ROR is getting 7.5 what does monahan get 9? With all these long term big money deals going to be some teams totally screwed when the cap comes down after next season. Not that it will for sure but if the loony drops and the canadian teams start loosing it has to drop like crazy

Thought I heard some discussion on one of the news channels about whether we were falling back into a recession. And the anticipated further drop of the loonie.

They have 4 players left to sign....but basically they're not wasting big money on 2
4/5 d-men like we are on Edler and Sbisa. Hamhuis is a 2....maybe 3 now that he's slowing down so it's justified. Bieksa is 3/4 so with fowler, vatenen and depres being signed for cheap for what they bring they have probably the best bang for your buck D-core. However they have 4 goalies so they may trade 1 as a back up +prospects for bigger name D later in the summer.

If ROR is worth 7.5, then Sbisa must be worth at least 4.0!!!!!
