Every other team in the NFC will be happy to see him gone

No NTC


Benning said no bridge deal was ever in play
- VANTEL

That's awesome

Don't you mean Putin league?
- Brooks_Light

Vantel and NuckFU are counting the days until that ball-less little coward comes back.

if you have faith in them, they are young, and are not ready for the NHL, then they shouldn't be there.

There is a really good chance Goldobin never plays D. He wouldn't be the first Russian forward to suck at D but they do know how to score.

He got $3.6M more than Wennberg, looks like he did have some extra leverage
- Nucker101

nice revisionist history. you said his leverage would get him 6+ which is what you were worried about.

mid 5 was discussed as reasonable and now you're saying that all that leverage got him an extra 600k a year.

That's basically NightHawk level of optimism.
- Nucker101

As an optimist I peg it at 4-5 legit NHLer's

Then I guess we're lucky we didn't waste a 6th overall on him.
- As_I_See_It

Uncalled for. At least I can acknowledge Virtanen is a bust. It's not a shot at the leafs it was a shot at one prospect

Now you are just being an ass. I posted a fuken stat of a prospect get over it. Show me where I said I want him back.

No doubt, I'm sure that's part of the reason why SJ was willing to move him. But maybe he improves from being a floater to actually skating back and at least getting in position.


Let's hope he doesn't get inspired by watching Vanek #mentorship

I'll start counting once they've made the NHL.

If he can score 30 goals, I can accept some d liability.

- RealityChecker

I said that? i said I was worried that it's a possibility and that's what i would ask if I was his agent, I don't think I ever actually predicted the actual contract would be 6M+ long term but I could be wrong.


And yeah, 600K extra is pretty nice and it does show that he had more leverage. I think Wennberg signed for a bit less than most were expecting so that definitely helped out.

Exactly. A LVPD supervisor actually spoke to him shortly after the incident and Bennett said to him he was totally ok with how it was handled...then days or weeks later he posts all his bullsh**it about it. Guy is a fu**cking goof and I think it's going to be an issue for the Seahawks moving forward.

Bust as in u r giving up on him? Just looking for quantification.

The question is, how much more rope does Jake have before he's dealt for a song?

- neem55

No doubt, but no way in hell he gets that kind of ice time until he gets Green's(or future coach's) trust in the first place. And that's always difficult to do since most coaches prefer the guy who sucks offensively but backchecks/forechecks hard over the guy who can create offense for himself and others, but is going to cost you some goals sometimes with giveaways and not always backechking/forechecking at 100%.

600k extra picking a lowball contract?
I thought $5.3m would be about right. 200k extra in the end.
