Confirmed with Link: Arizona signs Alex Goligoski 5 years, ~$5.5m per

[rt]

I now want all in on Stepan and Klein from NYR.

Put big ass chips on the table.

And if we pull that off, can we get DET to trade Datsyuk for Michalek and Vitale?

They get a RHD that can actually play games for them, even if overpaid and LTIR salary dump.

 

[Matias Maccete]

This is an exciting signing just for the terrible song jokes.

 

[hbk]

Just the kind of bold move we were looking for.

Doubt GMJC is done yet.

Nice subtle jab at Oilers. Love it.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

OEL should be happy.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Okay, great signing! Great start and about time that we had some unvarnished good news.

Now, I really wouldn't trade any talent for a top 4 D at this point. A minor forward for a bottom pair ok, but that's it at this point. Next year we trade talent for a top 6 RHD and aim for a deep playoff run.

That OEL quote is very unenthusiastic.

Imagine it with a huge grin and a tiny chuckle.

He's Swedish.

And probably said with a smile while chuckling a bit. Things that don't get conveyed in print.

Makes it a bit better


John Shannon says the cap hit is 5.475m

 

[Mosby]

5.475 mil per year is the number according to John Shannon

What a strange number. 27.375mil total

"One caveat is that you can't make more than OEL, so yeahhhhh"

The Shane Doan cap was a thing for years, it's not odd at all.

Hey hey hey - WE'RE the ones who are supposed to be pessimistic...

 

[Howler Scores]

Tax rates and lower cost of living does help for the underdogs!

 

[Ebb]

Glad to see it happen; I didn't think there was a snowball's chance that he would end up signing with us.

Now, get him a partner while Stone recovers.

A 3rd pairing d-man is needed as well, along with a few RWs.

Oh and be sure to re-sign more of those RFAs before the draft (as promised)

Totally. Definitely Stepan...he would be an upgrade over Hanzal. Klein would be ok I guess, but I still think they need a legit top pairing guy with OEL. Murphy may still be able to improve his game, I mean I sure hope he does, because he wasn't cutting it with OEL on a consistent basis.

 

[Murf]

Bravo, young man!

 

[RABBIT]

I wanna give Chayka a big, mid-20's bro hug right now.

Awesome job.

 

[Plub]

Great move. He was aggressive in getting who he wanted and got him signed. Awesome news.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Movah and Chayka!! More to come!!

 

[Snarky Coyote]

This sucks, every year I watch as other teams grab elite players and complain about the Yotes not doing things like this.

What do I do now? I don't know this feeling, I'm sooo confused, Quick someone resign Moss to even the feeling out

 

[Muppet]

Ch-Ch-Chayka yeaaaah. Makes a fairly big statement right away, and he sure as hell isn't finished.

 

[Tom Polakis]

Happy with everything about this signing except the anticipation of Nash pronouncing his name as Go-li-GOW-ski.

 

[Gwyddbwyll]

What did Dallas offer? I'm surprised they werent close to this. I was expecting it would take 6M.
