1 year, two million.

How the mighty have fallen.

I can't wait to see Heater's next deal

 

[Avder]

I'm guessing 1 year, 3-4 million IF he gets an offer.

 

[bear1]

Richards to Chicago?

Your move, Winnipeg

Edit: Actually, Hawks fans don't seem too thrilled

No reason to be not a good move

 

[Engebretson]

1 year, two million.

How the mighty have fallen.

And that's on top of what he's getting from the Rangers buyout.

Could be a decent deal for the Hawks if he finds chemistry with Saad/Kane.

I'm guessing 1 year, 3-4 million IF he gets an offer.

If Richards only gets a 1 year $2mil deal, I doubt Heatley sees anything more than that.

 

[Avder]

So apparently the Hawks are now 2.2 Million over the cap?

Wonder what they do to get back under it.

4 teams have not made a signing today: Boston, Columbus, Detroit and Nashville. #TSN #FAF

That Richards deal sounds rational. I think that T. Teräväinen is still a year or few away from NHL.

Leddy is going I bet. Sharp as well is my guess.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

$5.750 for 7 years on Niskanen (per capgeek)

 

[Engebretson]

Bracing myself for Niskanen overpayment....

Edit: Wow, expected more, but that's still a lot

 

[Avder]

7 years, 40.25 million.

Kid wanted, and got, a payday.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

W. Mitchell to Florida. Now who do we get on the D side?

 

[Avder]

Mitchell got 2 years, 4.25 per it looks like.

Wonder if we're in on anyone else at this point or if GMCF is done for the day.

 

[melinko]

It could have been worse $$-wise. Still scary though.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Green has to be gone now; Carlson, Niskanen and Green on the right side.

 

[Sportsfan1]

Hawks fans aren't happy because now they have to move out a decent player being 2 million plus over the cap like they are out for an aging guy like Richards.

Richards can still be an effective player in the right situation, but he will slow down a high flying Hawks teams so not sure that'll work out well.

I am sad to lose out on Willie. Think we'll need to pick up somebody on defense before the season starts, but if it was more then 2 years on Mitchell no thank you.

He sounded done at the presser.

 

[Engebretson]

Yep, if Fletcher was indeed talking to Mitchell's camp today, they did good by walking away from giving that type of money to him.
