I don't know what I find more shocking, the 20 teams part or the 3-year deal part.
I don't think he quite the overuse he did in Carolina with the Flames, but if he takes away ice-time from Bennett and Janko, holy **** I'll be pissed off.
He won't be replacing Backlund or Monahan, so I'm not too concerned in that regard. If he can put up 30-35 points in our bottom 6, I'm ok with around 2.5 million. 3 million + is an overpay no matter how you look at it.
Can't be worst than Stajan LOL. Yes he may be good in the locker room but was he 3.5 mil good? Im going to go with no...
A world where he is one of the better centres available20 teams? In what kind of world are we living in?
How many Sam Bennett clones to the flames need?
3 players and a coach hardly are a big deal.Lmfao.
Calgary hurricanes
I don't doubt it, he was top 10 in FO% and put up close to 40 points. Teams are going to inquire.20 teams? Bull****
One where anyone with the ability of rational thought knows RH centers that win alot of draws and put up 35+ points aren't all that common.20 teams? In what kind of world are we living in?
He's nothing like Bennett. But please continue your trend of clueless posts on this subject.How many Sam Bennett clones to the flames need?
I don't get itHow many Sam Bennett clones to the flames need?
At least Calgary recognized how brutal their bottom 6 was last year and made it a priority
20 teams? Bull****
I guess it depends how you define huge over payment. I think 2x2 is fair, anything more is definitely an overpayment. But even if he gets a 3.25 AAV, is the extra 1.25 really that "huge"? Based on the percentage of his contract, sure, but in the grand scheme overpaying a UFA by 1.25 on a short term deal is not really a huge overpayment.I have no issues with Ryan as a player, but anything over 2 million is a huge overpayment. I don’t like this at all.
