Hurricanes sign Dvorak (1 year 600K/two-way)

[DaveG]

Not even sure it will be that much, probably somewhere between 650 and 750K IMO.

 

[bluedevil58*]

What's the deal here?

 

[Unsustainable]

Should be anytime

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Get 'er done JR. Don't screw this up

 

[bleedgreen]

well hes obviously gonna push for all he can get, he does have a bit of an upper hand. he played well enough to likely get a job somewhere else, and he knows we need him right now.

 

[Mr America]

I was thinking it would be a quick formality to get him signed. What are the odds that he has received an offer from somebody else?

Then again, technically, the roster is still at 23, isn't it?

4 yr @ 4.25, NTC

JR gonna JR

 

[Wild Caniac]

I think it will be a 2 way deal, 700k for 1 year.

 

[rocky7]

I'll guess $1mil/1yr.

 

[Wild Caniac]

He was only paid 675k last year.

 

[Guy]

at practice again today, surely there's some cutoff where he's either got to have a deal or has to get lost right? the regular season has technically already started.

Could he theoretically play in a game on a PTO? I know they have X day PTOs in the AHL.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I don't know if there is much that can be done if he wants to practice with us and he allows it. However, both sides must sense that a deal is still close or he likely wouldn't risk injury hurting another potential opportunity. Details must still just be getting hammered out.

 

[Identity404]

Didn't Jason Karmanos handle most of the contract paperwork? They probably can't wake JR up from his naps to get the stuff on paper.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Anytime now JR...

I need to know if it's safe to put him in the GDT

#Canes ink Radek Dvorak to a one-year deal. $600k in the NHL, $125k in the AHL with a $250k guarantee.

 

[What the Faulk]

Surprised they got him signed to a two-way deal.

 

[Zezima]

With the prolonged negotiation time I was expecting JR to cave to 1mil. Now it looks like it was Dvorak who did the caving

 

[Brock Anton]

$600k and on a two-way? Not bad.

 

[Vagrant]

Can't complain about this contract. Not even the biggest detractors can find a way to spin it in a negative light. Legit NHL player with 1,200 games under his belt for basically less than league minimum if it doesn't work out. Fantastic move. He clearly has some games left in him.

 

[Ole Gil]

One of the big brightspots closing out the preseason was the penalty kill. If they can keep that up, and not have to use Eric and Semin to do it, that'd be a big positive for the team.

 

[Mr America]

JR be like "Don't like my offer? Sign with one of the other teams ringing your agents phone constantly."

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Good with this. Still surprised JR didn't go after Kobasew, who Calgary stole from under his nose.

 

[Unsustainable]

Holy cow, that's a better deal then any of us could have thought of.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Can't argue with that. I would've taken him for a bit more, given his role and our needs.
