I hope Brandon does well for you guys. He's a great guy. 2.5M per for four years is way overpaying though. We would've been ok with about 1.2M for 2 years. Wowzers.

 

[Bullsmith]

Toronto has shown that throwing big money at 3-4th line free agents isn't a way to win, but even if we're going to lose let's be TOUGHER.

Prust is the guy NYR got for Higgins after robbing us blind. A bit of karmic justice to have him land in MTL. Replacing Darche-Palushaj/Enqvist-Weber/Diaz with Prust-Armstrong-Boullion is at least a step in the right direction. Add Moen and White and we're just one enormous body away from being a decently tough team.

Meanwhile Ottawa's giving away their toughness left and right. Konopka, Carkner and Foligno all gone elsewhere today.

I LOVE IT !!

98,5 fm says 10M for 4 years

 

[ClasslessGuy]

too much money but ******* it we needed that player

 

[Nidema]

2.5 is too much. But addresses a definite need.

We'll see over the 4 years.

how old is this guy anyway?

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Overpayment but **** he was needed, very glad we got him!

 

[WeberBombs]

YES!

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Prust, Moen, Armonstrong, White in the bottom 6, that's sand paper and nastyness.

 

[Kane One]

You guys are going to love him.

It might be a drop too much, but damn, you will love the guy.

Like I said before, not a fan of the term at all.

2.5m for a 4th liner hmmmm

Thinking he will be a third liner, and not a 4th.

 

[Dharvey33]

Good sign overpaid by 500k but it's not my bill so i don't really care.

Will make a good 3rd-4th line grinder capable of playing on the pk and bringing 10-13 goals per year.

I bet there a lot of teams that wanted him.

 

[Iwishihadacup]

3% of the cap... relax guys, we got this

 

[Sonny Lamateena]

You guys will love him! Perfect bottom 6 player. Never takes a shift off, tough, physical, and very good on the penalty kill. Sad to see him leave the Rangers but wish him success in Montreal.

 

[Habarazzi]

How is 2.5 mil over payment when guys like D.Wideman get over 5 million? c'mon people .... either you jump into the free agent pool or go home


good signing

 

[BobbyFischer*]

Holy**** we actually got him.

no way???!!!
