Good luck to him

 

[Socks]

That is a bummer. Good luck to him!

 

[Fro]

beat you to it

 

[CBJWerenski8]

so sad

 

[EspenK]

I am beginning to question Jarmo's roster mgt. This strikes me as totally stupid unless he got like 5 yrs at 3 mill or so.

best of luck to D-Mac.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Damn, that sucks. He'll probably be on the 1st or 2nd line there though, so good chance for some extra PT.

 

[Samkow]

Hockey wise, I'm sure this isn't as big a deal as we'll make it out to be but chemistry wise, I'm nervous.

 

[Crede777]

No! Stupid stupid stupid... DMac was one of the best 4th line centers in the league.

Not overpaying an aging, replaceable fourth liner is a sign of good roster management.

I would have been happy to sign him to that deal...

I wouldn't have.

 

[IHeartZherdev*]

No! Stupid stupid stupid... DMac was one of the best 4th line centers in the league.

Do you have any statistical/analytic evidence of that?

 

[NotWendell]

CBJ could have re-signed him for $2 per.

Why not wait until you actually know something about the contract before rendering judgement? DMac has to do what's best for him, not us, and Jarmo has many competing priorities to balance in building his roster. I wanted MacKenzie back, but this may be his last contract, so I really hope it's a good one!

That'd be an overpayment

 

[Samkow]

2M is a bit much. Not Orpik like overpayment but too much for him,

 

[DarkandStormy]

Deal is 3 years / $3.9 million. $1.3 AAV.

3 years, $3.9 million. Oh, it's a good one.

 

[DarkandStormy]

I assume CBJ wanted to go 2 years /$2.5 million (if they wanted him at all). DMac gets an extra year with FL.

SO GLAD WE HAVE SPACE FOR TROPP AND BLOL NOW

 

[Jackets16]

It wouldn't have been smart for us to give him 3 years. We need to make room for our prospects in the next year or two.

 

[Samkow]

Deal is 3 years / $3.9 million. $1.3 AAV.

Well, that really sucks then.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

3 years, $3.9 million. Oh, it's a good one.

I'm guessing he went term over salary.

Now that I know it is even dumber imo. Jarmo must be one of those buyouts are stupid guys. Couldn't fit the last .9 or so over two years into the cap down the road if necessary. I mean the guy busted his ass for the Jackets. I sure hope the ???-Letestu-Boll line is as good as this past years' 4th line.
