Confirmed with Link: Bruins sign Jarome Iginla

[SlickM32]

Lol!!!!!

 

[Bridges31]

1 year 6 mil

@DarrenDreger 3m
@TSNRyanRishaug. Performance based for Iginla. 1 year $6 mil with Bruins.

I think the whole fiasco is a Feaster mistake not an Iginla one. Feaster screwed up-Iginla was choosing the team that was the best in the East at the deadline.

Oh come on. That's bull ****.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

1 yr 6 mill

Really?

Hm. Ok.

 

[Mutilated]

It's been confirmed.

Damn, bruins are looking good!

 

[bolt thrower]

6 is a bit much

 

[TP]

1 year 6 mil

@DarrenDreger 3m
@TSNRyanRishaug. Performance based for Iginla. 1 year $6 mil with Bruins.

Ouch. Way too much.

 

[Shaun]

1 year $6m seems steep. I thought it would be something like 2 for 9 or 2 for 10

 

[Fire Sweeney]

I can live with 1 year

 

[Confound]

Only 1 year, I can dig that. Now let's win a ****ing cup!

 

[Danton Heineken]

Do the bonuses count even if they aren't achieved?

 

[Ace0813]

6M is fine - we have the money for it. This really completes our line-up I think.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Smart move overpaying to get the 1 year.

If he's good he has to take less next year anyways. If we can fit in the 6 with everyone else who cares?

 

[Yeti34]

Glad we got him.

Still pissed at chia for the Seg trade though. Iggy would have been a good mentor for him.

 

[Era of Sanity]

Was excited until I heard the salary. When Rask gets 7 mil are we going to be over the cap?

 

[LetEmPlay]

Only 1 year, I can dig that. Now let's win a ****ing cup!

He already cost us one.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Do the bonuses count even if they aren't achieved?

Nope. I don't think so. I think they can be deferred too. How much of it is bonus?

 

[ap3lovr]

1 yr 6 mill

I hope 2 mil of that is bonus based.

 

[BigBadBruin8]

Dreger says performance-based...probably has bonuses that can be deferred

 

[Boston Bruno]

Ouch. Way too much.

I hope thats not official.. Thats TERRIBLE

 

[Beyonder91]

sweet... 1 yr is great

 

[N o o d l e s]

If it's performance based, does that mean the cap hit is still $6m?

 

[MaCam]

6m? Meh. Glad it's only one year.

 

[mich25]

At the end of the day you have to take your emotions out of the game/business. Iginla and Chia realize this. They are pros. You do what you have to do to make your team better. Iginla fits. If it doesn't work out he will be good trade bait. Good job! The irony is funny though, perhaps in the end this is really where Iginla belongs. Maybe this time it will be a win for both Iginla and Boston!

6 is a bit steep at this point of his career but I would rather take the extra big cap hit for a year rather than taking him on multiple years.
