It's a massive overpayment no matter how you spin it! Career high 37 points and he's not a big guy, without looking he looks like a PP specialist.

I think you are going to Sh1t yourself when you see what he brings in

Very nice

I love it. Awesome term, awesome cap hit, brings an edge. Much better than Weber or Bart.

Now we need to clear up some cap before hammer comes back. I wonder who goes

Oilers might give up Eberle for Vatanen . Young Dmen don't come cheap..

Bruins got a first and two seconds last year for Hamilton.

I found nd it surprising that people expect a first and a prospect for slow ass aging Hamhuis but find it steep to ask for Vatanen is high

It's true. I'm not sure Vatenen is actually got the kind of potential of someone like hamilton is more what I meant.

Hamilton was 21 years old, just put up 42 points and he's 6'5" 210lbs, him and Vatanen aren't even in the same ballpark.

we need a PP specialist....its the only reason we even have weber. But not at a stupid payment.

But hey its the ducks, they like losing trades to us

Essentially two 1sts and a 2nd for Vatanen

Vatanen = Subban (Jordan)

I love it. Awesome term, awesome cap hit, brings an edge. Much better than Weber or Bart.

I figured he was going to get 1 mil for two years. Benning is learning

24 and 37 points. Sounds close to the same ballpark.

I was hoping for league minimum one way two year deal. (frank)ing Benning.

He's not gonna bring back two 1sts!! Why do they want to trade him if he's so damn good?

This signing makes me happy. The guy earned it. He has more heart than Edler and Weber combined

Biega signed for 2 years at 1.5 million one way contract. 700k first year and 800k second year.

Benning sucks

Because he can get two firsts

Hopefully Hammer

You've never been very good with value

Great signing. Biega is a low cost gamer!

Can't remember who it was trying to tell me Gaunce was a center, but I thought I'd share this as it is also a good article

It was me, or at least I was saying that he had been playing 1C in Utica for around a month due to injuries. Thanks for sharing the link, it was a good read.

He out scored Edler last year and will do it again this year. In fact he is close to out scoring Edler and Tanev combined.

You have a PP that sucks but we will draft and find that player so we can fix it in five years.

Say we get a 1st for Hammer and a 2nd for Vrbata
We have Spares: 1st/2 2nd's and can make our 3rd available and if need be our 2nd. What do you offer for either Trouba, Dumba, or Vatanen, or Ceci?

Because he can get two firsts
- VANTEL

For a guy that touts size and grit you sure seem keen to move two potential top 6 forwards and a high pic for a skilled smurf. Subban will hopefully fill the PP role in a few years. We shouldn't trade any of our top prospects unless we are fleecing somebody

Good signing, although still not sold he is an everyday guy. Great to have hard workers on the team tho.

When Subban actually makes the NHL I will believe it. There is a difference between 5'8 and 5'11.

Yes, he has earned it and you need cheap hard working guys to fill in the 6-7 spot. He is a lot better than Stanton or Weber types and possibly Bart as well

I'm not saying I wouldn't like to have him, but not at the price of a massive overpayment. You set the prospect pool back two years by giving what you offered. He's not worth that to me/
