Confirmed with Link: Richard Panik 4 years at 2.65 mil

[Charles Calvert]

Panik was a guy I identified as someone who fits. Two-way game is solid, he's a good puck possessor, and he can shoot very well at times. He hasn't scored a ton to date, but he might do well here.

what do you mean by that last part? his last three years are 22, 14 an 14 goals

and would you believe, connolly last three years are 15, 15 and 22 goals lol

 

[Calicaps]

Four. Years.

The term stuff doesn't concern me one bit with McLellan. He's shown he can move these cheap deals in later years if he needs to.

 

[Misery74]

4 years seems like too long.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Wore #14 both with the Hawks and the Yotes, guess he'll be our new Flash.

How do you panic about term when the AVV is so low and the guy is 27. Do people not get the term is tonget the AVV LOWER?

theres like 7.5 mil left, vrana isnt getting 6 mil,

even vrana at 4 mil leaves stephenson and djoos at under a mil plus the need for another forward still leaves about 1.5 mil

I think your math or starting numbers are off.

9.24m left right now with 17 players signed.

-2.5m for Panik
-3.4m for Vrana
-1m for Djoos
-800k for Stephenson

Leaves 1.54m for two players.

no my math was right, they dont have to have 23 players. they can do with 22 if they want which is why i was thinking a 1.2 ish mil player

 

[g00n]

This is going to sound weird, but his game kind of reminds me of prime Laich. He lives around the net and the high slot in particular, but has the hands for the junk in close.

 

[Raikkonen]

Maybe GMBM got a better overall player for less cap hit.

Even if they did 22, and Connolly at 3.5m, they'd only have 540k to sign forward 13. Minimum is 700k. It doesn't work.

 

[peterthegreat12]

They have to to be able to have any chance of having flexibility with call up forwards.

Nah. GMBM wants to add something to that fourth line.

Here is a better showing, at least you can see him in this tilt

Brandon Manning vs. Richard Panik, November 17, 2012 - Lehigh Valley Phantoms vs. Syracuse Crunch

Inconsistent goal scorer... sounds familiar but... Arizona. Does he hit, at least when the playoffs start.... nvrmnd... Arizona.

The 4 year deals sure sounds like BMac is confident in guys he targets. While any GM can trade anyone if they pay enough, BMac hasn't been here long enough to prove he makes his bad 4 year deals go away without issue.

I think I see a pattern in Gmbm's activity. He signs guys to all co-term around the same year so they can gel together during a set window and if it doesn't work out you just clean house. Deal with all the new contracts at once instead of weaving several contract terms over top each other.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Pirri or Carr incoming on a minimum deal to leave room for Malenstyn/AJF/Pinho/Gersich as 4th line puck hounds

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Solid signing for bottom six.

 

[g00n]

In other words, Reirden probably has another 3-4 years of playoff runs before the seat gets really hot, unless they miss the playoffs any given year in which case the timeline may shift.

 

[895]

right but if they did 22 and panik at 2.5, not connolly?

I don't really follow, what point are you trying to make? With 1.54m left and 21 players signed, Caps can go 23 man on minimum deals or 22 man on a slightly more expensive deal while banking 500k in room.

Either way, there's really no extra space.

The 4 years is strategy to lower the AVV. He's under 35 and the AVV is low. This is a non issue for GMBM.

would explain why izzy is still sounding like something else coming

 

[crab]

Decent but not spectacular. Panik @ 2.5M >>> Connolly @ 3.5M

I disagree but we didn't have the space and couldn't offer Connolly a top six role, so it's a moot point.
