Incredibly stupid term and $$$$ for a 4th liner coming off a fluke year as far as goals + assists.

WTF is happening? 5-6 year deal for a 3rd liner? Is Rutherford trying to get fired?

Agreed!!! WTF!! I like him as a player but was thinking more in the $2.5M range and maybe 3-4 years. This make the Rust contract look like a steal!!

Trade me right (frank)ing now!!!

His decisions keep getting worse and worse. Was he always this bad and we just didn't see it? Is this how he was in Carolina?

Well JR did give Alex Semin 5/35, a deal which took the Jerks forever to work their way out.

...just when I thought there was a glimmer of hope with the Maatta & Kessel trades. I thought he might be freeing up cap space for a run at an impact player. I was hoping for Andres Lee.

Oh well...…………...

...and now Richard Panik just sign with the Caps for $2.5M! He has had much better production on a weaker team for the past few year.

Way to pay over market value again JR!!!!

JMO, but that Semin deal is among the worst written since free agency became the rule in the NHL......even with 3 Cups on his resume, it's one that JR likely cannot live down.

6 yrs and 3.5 million for a 3rd or 4th line guy? Tanev's a complete player, but this one is bewildering. I see JR is still handing out ridiculous contracts like he did in Carolina. I was thinking it was the North Carolina water making him swing these lousy trades and free agent contracts, but obviously it has carried over to Steel town. SMDH 😳

The thing is...Panik was already pretty much a lock in Washington when the Pens entered the market. Slight overpay, although the term is absurd lol. But, at 3.5 for now I'm ok with the player.

Just out of curiosity, what are the best aspects of his game that you've seen?
