I liked Holmgren, but no way he gets Kimmo for 4.4

If that's the case I am not a fan of this move (unless there are more moves to come on the back end).

 

[Flyerss]

One more year

Nah it's ok, one final bridge to the kids coming up. I wasn't thrilled with the idea but at 4.4 with reduced minutes for one season it's cool IMO.

Where did you see this?

Also excellent work by our insiders getting this report.....

 

[SuchySays]

I had Kimmo for 4.4 on the cap geek GM thing.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Prongo]

I am going to guess it's got to have some kind of bonuses in it. I would hope it does...

I think there is a very good chance 2-3 good sized contracts will not be on this roster next year.

I was hoping for $4 million flat, but the extra 400K shouldn't matter.

Good move that takes us out of the Niskanen $6+ million bidding war.

Thank god.

I'm okay with this move. Timonen is a very reliable defensemen. And his leadership abilities will benefit the transition of Ghost, Morin, and Hagg turning pro, as they aren't quite ready yet.

With this move, it's safe to assume our defensemen will be the same next season.

Coburn-Timonen
Schenn-Streit
Grossmann-MacDonald

Nobody has moveable contracts besides MacDonald and Streit, and I don't see them moving because MacDonald just signed with us, and Streit is too big of a salary for any team to take. That being said, Streit was arguably our best defensemen last season, so moving him at this point would make me a little nervous.

If we somehow got Grossmann to waive his NTC, that's one thing. Finding a team to take him will be the more difficult task. What this team needs is a young puck moving defensemen, but I feel the likelihood of that happening is very slim. Our defense getting an overhaul will have to wait at least another season, I'm afraid...

Am i the only person not happy Timonen is back?? His play has declined, and i just dont see him as a top pair/pp qb anymore. This was the time to let him walk.
