[The Stig]

I'm ok with it

 

[TARS]

Absolutely terrible if it's 3 years and even worse if it's 6 million per Mckenzie.

 

[SaucyNavel]

Bring on the HF armchair GMs!

 

[Jobu]

horrible signing

 

[Tiranis]

Brutal. Say goodbye to Lack and any team chemistry. The least professional goalie in the whole league.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Welcome back to the goalie graveyard.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'm fine with a 3-year term. What I'm curious about is whether there's a full NTC or not.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Meh.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

So which goalie gets the boot?

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

Absolutely awful

 

[CCF23]

Love it.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

3 straight years of likely downgrades in net. Painful stuff.

 

[opendoor]

Awful deal. $6M for a 34 year old league average goalie. And that's assuming he doesn't decline as he hits 35 and 36 years old.

 

[groovygoodwine]

Well one of Lack/Markstrom is gone.

4 year plan here, so basically lets plug along finishing 10th - 15th until the Sedins and Miller are up, then rebuilding like we should now.

 

[avant]

i'm ok with this

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

pretty decent..
i have no problem
expected 2-3 yrs ~5mil

 

[The Bob Cole]

Not as bad as some people are making it out to be.

The 3rd year may make it harder, but it's the UFA market. You don't make the best deals on July 1.

 

[palefire]

$6m AAV! What a waste of cap space. That should make the people who want to tank happy.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Hooray for meddling owners. Go **** yourself owners. Hope they still tank horribly

 

[D0ctorCool]

I will do everything in my power to destroy him. We're going in circles.

 

[pahlsson]

dumb

 

[Tiranis]

Lack is gone in 2 years when he becomes a UFA, if not sooner.

 

[opendoor]

About the only positive about the $6M figure is that it leaves Benning less money to blow on other junk UFAs.

Miller didn't even have a better save % than lack last year. What's the point ? Spend money cuz you have it I guess..

he's taking his advice from the 5 year olds who sent letters to Trevor linden on what he should do.
