[The 29th Pick]

I think the players and the fans are getting ancy

 

[mtnet]

Get pucks deep

Radical notion, game changer

 

[glenwo2]

WTF?

This one makes the most sense :

 

[Camille the Eel]

Thornton signs for another season with the Sharks. Let Pavelski go and resign Thornton, go figure.

 

[Blackjack]

Today, in things NHL executives will say off the record:

“The other thing about McDavid — to throw even more mud on it — they’ve been a horseshit organization. It’s been a gong show up there since Day 1 (for him). And who knows if they’re ever going to get out,” another NHL team executive said.

Why the NHL's star RFAs should sign short-term deals

Trade Hall back to Edmonton for McDavid if he doesn't re-sign.



But seriously, NHL Execs are basically preaching to the choir here.

It's not exactly a secret that the Oilers organization has been a poorly-run one for a long time.

I feel bad that Connor's best years are going to be wasted there.

[Devils731]

Still hungover from his gold medal partying.

 

[Devils731]

4 years at $4.05 million per. What a great deal for the Canes.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

how many freaking DMen do they need

 

[Hisch13r]

What a deal. Now they have a defense of Slavin, Pesce, Hamilton, Faulk, Gardiner and Van Riemsdyk

 

[Scooooooooooooot]

And Priskie who didnt sign with the Caps because he didnt want any barriers to play in the nhl lol Fleury and Jake Bean also in the mix.

Priskie's decision to sign there didn't make any sense.

I figured he was 100% signing with the Rags

 

[Blackjack]

Rather have Gardiner than Myers. What the hell?

Nearly 2 mil less and 1 year less but mUh SiZe AnD rIgHt HaNdEd

Cap space is an issue for the Sharks. 1 year for 2 mil is easier to handle than the 3 years for 7 mil that Pavelski got. Pavelski is a candidate for a noticeable regression this season; He shot 20.4% last year which is hard to duplicate. If anything, they chose Erik Karlsson over Pavelski.

Welp....interest from the Rags fans for this game just went down the toilet.

I bet Thornton could have gotten $4 million for 1 year on the open market. I wonder why he's giving the Sharks such a break, they have an okay shot at the cup, but I don't think they're one of the top teams or anything.

Seems like he's comfortable living in the area and moving didn't really appeal to him. I think Thornton's said that he'll likely end his pro career in Switzerland since that's where he met his wife during the 2004-05 lockout.
