Can't Hold Leads
4 More Years of MoToR
It is awesome to see these guys all on long contracts, especially after losing everyone on the pizza line. Let's hope it lasts a lot longer than 4 years, and that the chemistry gets even better!

Have to expect that Ryan signing might make Methot take a little less pay if thats whats holding it up

The drooling one.
Fantastic signing of Bobby. This contract starts a year from now and with rising caps and corresponding player salaries this deal will quickly become a great one for the Sens.
A joke on TGOR this a.m. ..... Ryan must have signed the contract early yesterday before practice because MacLean immediately moved him to the 2nd PP unit.

I've never understood the inferiority complex too many Sens fans have with the Flyer rumours and sky is falling attitude with the organization for 'losing' players and not spending money. Everything has actually been pointed in the right direction all summer and I have to say that Murray and co. have done a very good job.
From the end of last season, the Senators have re-signed/extended 4 key UFA's (Ryan/MacArthur/Anderson/Michalek) for a total of only $4.2M more than they were being paid before. That's in total for all 4 players. Also added a veteran centre that can skate in Legwand for $3M. Add in Chiasson from the Spezza trade and the total cap cost of all this is right around where Spezza would have commanded for an extension.
Funny thing is, this team is better without Spezza. So basically in the long run, the Senators have improved and it's almost like it's not costing them anything.
I've said it before, but Murray/Melnyk are not cheap, they're just planning shrewdly. Good signing today.

He ended up getting the first deal's money with the second deal's term + NMC. Bobby Ryan got what he wanted...

Me too. We need Methot to provide solid defensive play in the top 4 D pairings.

So of the available upcoming FAs - MacArthur, Ryan, Anderson, Lehner, and Methot, Melynk and Murray have signed all but one of them to decent term and money deals.
Remember how some of us said we wouldn't be concerned about the budget until we started losing our own players for nothing...? Well, so far, in my opinion, the budget talk has been much ado about nothing.
