Three years? Wow.

 

[duxfan1101]

It has to be like league minimum if it's for 3 years... right?

 

[Getzmonster]

Come again?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

As a Pens fan, 3 years?!

 

[mightyquack]

How a career AHL'er (with some short NHL spells) gets a 3 year contract is beyond me. Even if this is purely a San Diego signing 3 years is crazy.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Bob just had to have him

 

[MMC]

I f***ing hate this team. Never learns.

 

[duxfan1101]

....

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Lol what? That's wild, man.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Someone please spin this so it makes sense to me. Grant could not have cost much more than this contract.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

YES!

The tank is on! Lets go get ourselves a franchise center

 

[AngelDuck]

Murray has got to go. He’s run his course

 

[Kalv]

What the f*** Bob?

Nobody was happy with him in Pit, it felt.
What the f***?

Grant is let go and we sign a dude from other team for 3 years?

I do stuff like that on NHL 18 all the time. That way you don't gotta worry about signing those guys for a while, one year deals are so bothersome.

Seriously though, I dunno, guess there was a big Carter Rowney market, I guess?

 

[duxfan1101]

Looking him up on Wikipedia, he was born in a place called Sexsmith. That's got to be worth something, right?

 

[bsu]

Lmaooooooooo

 

[AngelDuck]

I wonder how long Bob’s leash is with ownership is at this point

 

[bsu]

Carlyle and Murray retirement plan

 

[AngelDuck]

Jesus, over a million per season? Why not just give Kossila a chance?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Honestly this season is going to suck... we gave up theodore to keep bieska for a year... and he literally brought nothing to the table.

Perry/Kesler are basically untradeable money sinks. BM has absolutely no clue how to fix the problems he created... we keep RC at the helm even tho we got utterly embarrassed by a not that great sharks team.

Imagine if bieska waived his NTC, and we traded vatanen pre- expansion draft. Wed have
Lindholm Manson
Fowler Montour
Theodore Welinski
Larsson Pettersson
Mahura

which means we could have actually used 1 of theodore/Montour/Larsson as trade bait to bring in some help at forward.

Fire BM, Fire RC, Trade Perry... not sure there is anything we can really do with Kesler… those are my goals for the season and hopefully end up with a top 8 pick.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Jesus, over a million per season? Why not just give Kossila a chance?

Why would we do that when we could have Rowney….

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Jesus, over a million per season? Why not just give Kossila a chance?

They still may, none of the NHL trio are listed by the team as a center.

 

[ADHB]

Which would imply we actually had to outbid other teams for his services... it's like the Chris Kelly thing, only 3x worse. Awesome.

 

[The Duck Knight]

I think Bob got these contracts backwards. He actually meant for Gibbons to get the 3yr deal. Right?
