Beer Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Idk if testosterone, cocaine and IV red bull could get that corpse going. Nice and sadly true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Twitter says the deal is very front loaded. So that's good. Hell yes it is, because the Sabs can trade him easily at age 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hell yes it is, because the Sabs can trade him easily at age 33. So, the idea being: A $6M cap hit in 5 years won't be that big a deal and the actual cash expense to a buyer will be modest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Bleh Exactly what I feel. It's okay $$ wise,but the term is bleh. Not a fan of that amount of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 6mil cap hit? Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 This is a good deal at $6M. I can live with this and I think it sets the stage that a few people are moving out. Didn't want to go higher than that, its a solid deal, term takes him right up to 35 so that isn't bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Sounds like Murray is also about to add McGinn too. Another winger has to be moving out...? McGinn - Girgensons - Deslauriers Strange 4th line, but should be effective. (Assumes Vessey or other is Eichel's left winger.) At least 1 of Ennis, Kane, or Gionta is now spare. Wonder how Moulson's going to like Ra-cha-cha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming around to the deal because I'm beginning to think the guy can be readily moved on the back end of this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoPre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Foligno and Girgs maybe not re-signed? No, but wonder why you're so concerned about money Money is important in the short and long term. Something to always think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Can't disagree with the naysayers more, this is a very good signing. Add Vesey and we've added 2 top 6 forwards for less than 7 million and a 3rd round pick. WOW, how can you not be a GMTM fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 All right, nay sayers. Where are you? Buffalo just signed the top free agent of the year and did it at a reasonable AAV, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I did say bleh before I saw the 6mil figure. That's not bad, I was assuming it would be 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I (think I) enjoy the irony of GM TM noting that Pysyk was an analytics darling while shipping him, and now GM TM signs a player who appears to be ... an analytics darling. Nah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Noice. I like 6 million per. If Datsyuk's contract alone can go for next to nothing, 33 year old Okposo should be very movable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's a very good signing for the next 3-4 years, and possibly a very bad one after that. But sounds like it's a movable deal in the later years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
