Not a bad cap hit.

 

[The Bob Cole]

Thomas Vanek turned down seven-year, $50M contracts twice to get to pick his team. Today, he selected the #MNWild.

I'm just happy we didn't sign Glass, Bolland or Thornton.

I would like Iginla but don't see why he would waste what time he has left in the NHL playing here.

And Pouliot. God damn.

Dan Murphy ‏@sportsnetmurph 24s

Tanner Glass gets 1.45 per from NYR for that 3 year deal.

AV must be overjoyed.

He also hasn't won a Vezina trophy or been a first team all star.

Great deal for NYR.


Man, Robidas (37) gets 3 years with the Leafs—will they ever learn?

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

That's his brother, who gives a **** what steve moore thinks.

We don't need the distraction or another circus in town. It's already going to get stupid as it is.

 

[Zack Kassian]

lets sign somebody!! I dont care if its martin brodeur

 

[KDizzle]

I'll just say one thing. I hope Iggy makes his decision quickly. I can't take any more of these Sundin/Doan situations.

 

[Canucks LB]

Yeah Iginla needs to make up his mind sooner then later. We need to push hard for Moulson or vrbata if he chooses colorado

No we don't. We need to stand pat and suck.

You mean it's shifting to the central division. In the Pacific so far Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary have done the signings, while San Jose has lost two veteran dmen in Boyle and Stuart.

So the central should grab both wildcard spots, Anaheim and LA should be locks for spots #1 and #2 in the Pacific, but depending on what else San Jose does spot #3 could be wide open between them, Phoenix, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary.

Sam Jose isn't going to give joe Thornton and pat Marleau away.

Their team is still miles better than the Canadian teams.

I bet Vanek thought that same 50m contract would be waiting for him in FA. From a team that wasn't BUF or NYI. But his playoff performance had something to say on that front...

Half a decade ago. Lol.

 

[SnapIt]

What is our selling point to Iginla? Is it money? term? potential to be traded at the deadline?


Or was it Sushi with the Clearly Contacts guy

It has been rumoured that he wanted to go to MIN for a long time now. It's possible this was never about money.

He made $50m on his last deal and another $20m coming on this one. With some wise investments, he'll retire one of the richest NHLers anyway.

Probably term.

Great deal for NYR.

Yeah, agreed about Robidas.

Plays bigger than he is...but that has really taken it's toll the last couple of years. I suspect he'll give them LTIR relief in fairly short order.
