Volchenkov deal? Not that he signed Jay Pandolfo for 8 years at nearly 6 million?
Wait, what? Did that actually happen? I remember Pando as getting like 2ish when we bought him out but I could be wrong.

And Mr. 29th Overall has 0 points in the AHL this season. He was really well worth it.

The 29th pick who is currently in the minors.....
What really kills Lou is the VOLCHENKOV deal... *THAT*, he has no excuse.
nope. only clear cut mistake was the 29th pick and maybe 1-2 contracts. he did good work building a semblance of a decent team that isnt performing

I DARE someone to go look up our record since the beginning of the Mac era through now without Parise and Kovy in the lineup. Not doing it, we may be talking about a <.200 clip here.
Rolston's contract handicapped us for a while. Clowe's will be similar sooner rather than later. It's easier to just talk about the GOOD contract's Lou has made, because there's far fewer.Lou has handcuffed himself with a bunch of deals...
- Volchenkov was too long and too much but he slowed dramatically and he;s not that old.
- Zajac deal - again, too long a deal and probably for too much per year for a #2 center who won;t get more than 50 points in any year now that Parise is gone.
- Salvador - again too long, 2 years would probably have been fine.
- Harrold, Tedenby, Olesz, all signed to one way contracts.
- resigning Harrold and Zidlicky essentially cost us Urbom. Bad asset management there.
Lou has backed himself into a corner with deals that are tough to trade out of thus rendering us stuck with these guys.
I think we need to think about moving Loktionov as I doubt he resigns with us again next year and he hasn't proven much thus far. Won't get much for him but I think we need to let Josefson play. He's better on faceoffs and is better defensively, and can play wing if need be. Lokti arguably has more offensive potential but that hasn;t shown through.

The only reason you don't give up 29 is if you're 100% sure the league is overturning their decision.

And you're a ****ing fool if you think the league will ever bend over backwards for a team that doesn't give them money. If this were Pittsburgh, there would be no problems whatsoever. But we aren't Sidney Crosby.The only reason you don't give up 29 is if you're 100% sure the league is overturning their decision.
The 29th pick alone can be grounds for firing after this season.
