Acq/ Rost. Bldg./ Cap Part XXXIII: UFA Frenzy

[ChibiPooky]

Colorado gets Iggy.

Pretty palatable cap hit, too.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Does the Iggy contract take Colorado out of the running for Niskanen?

 

[Carlzner]

If there is anything to learn from the LA Kings, it's that you need Strength down the middle.

Just look at what Anaheim and St. Louis has done so far this offseason.

 

[CapNMac]

You can stop defending him now, he's not going to date you. This is business as usual for GMGM clones, dude. If anything McPhee and DP's legacy is ongoing...

Who made you the "defending" police.

 

[Stewie G]

<Insert picture of Foote or Hannan or numerous other examples here>

I'm sure the odds are against him.

 

[strungout]

Stralman to Tampa.

 

[mitchdisaster]

stralman to TB, does that push niskanen here?

 

[Koized]

Another defenseman that is much better than Orpik signed for a way better contract.

 

[ChibiPooky]

Guys, no need to take shots at each other.

Especially when we have this shiny Orpik contract to take shots at.

I need to take a few shots.

 

[NeilYoung]

Yzerman with yet another great deal

 

[Capathetic]

Tampa got Stralman. Maybe Nisk lands here now.

 

[Blades of Steel]

Tampa just keeps getting better, we're in deep ****.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Stralman to Tampa.

That has to mean Niskanen's chancing of being a Washington Capital are significantly higher

 

[Chokingdogs]

looking forward to the announcement of brad richards being signed.

 

[trick9]

Niskanen to Caps for sure now.

5yr/20m for Stralman from TBL.

 

[Carlzner]

stralman to TB, does that push niskanen here?

Yup.

****.

 

[Roughing]

Another defenseman that is much better than Orpik signed for a way better contract.

Can you honestly find one worse?

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun
Antron Stralman, $20 M over five years with Tampa Bay Lightning

Crap, could mean Niskanen to the Caps.

 

[Capathetic]

Guys, no need to take shots at each other.

I need to take a few shots.

Don't worry Orpik's buying. Enough to get us all pretty rowdy through the holiday weekend.

 

[beast8812]

Hopefully we can dump erskine to anyone to open a little more cap space

 

[Koized]

Can you honestly find one worse?

Nope lol

 

[peterthegreat12]

Apparently the Sharks are in consideration right now for Niskanen as well so nothing to say he chooses the Caps.

 

[NeilYoung]

Can you honestly find one worse?

It's grouped right with Bolland and Clarkson last year

 

[Roughing]

Nisk > Orpik

So, what's he getting? 7/49?

Source? Haven't seen that anywhere
