Make cooperalls mandatory too.

70s fever.

I'm sure that Kovy a.k.a 100million-dollar-man would hear it from the press for reminder of that 15 years, if he happened to pull "0pts in whole series"achievment like Crybaby and Geno just did ... But not those two darlings ...

When I first saw em yesterday my reaction was, great another team jersey **** up, but upon seeing them actually worn by somebody and not just the concept photos, they really aren't that bad

Away ones look pretty sharp and the green is similar to that of when they were in Minny so there is some 'heritage' I guess

I wonder where they got the idea for the white jersey?

And we wouldn't even give Clarkson $5 mil

 

[CerebralGenesis]

wow 10M for gonchar

 

[Rhodes 81]

They need quality d-men and so they got one. That's what it takes to fill a need sometimes

 

[Czech Trio]

The best player in the game (Crosby) should not have that title if he as the captain of a team gets swept. Just my opinion. Absolutely no excuse.

Pittsburgh should seriously consider moving one of Neal/Malkin/Fluery.

Doesn't seem Jokinen, Murray, Morrow, and Iginla payed off either.

I love seeeing ****tsburgh fail.

I would bet the Devils current forward group would score more goals than Pittsburgh Crosby, Malkin, Neal, Iginla, etc. forward group did against Boston. If I'm Ray Shero I move Malkin and fire Bysalma. They would could 2 or 3 very good assets for Malkin.

Gonchar scares me a little bit with his age and lack of defensive effort sometimes. If he's put with a solid defenseman, he can produce some assists and run the PP for them.

A bit surprising though this would be Nill's first move as GM. There is some risk here. Cap isn't a concern though for the Stars the next year or two.

I think this might remove the possibility of Zidlicky coming back here for good especially if he tries to use Gonchar's deal as a barometer for him. No way Zidlicky doesn't ask for at least a 2 year deal if not a 3 yr deal. Probably will look for no less than 4m annually.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

quality dman? yikes that is hefty for an aging guy already slowing down in his own end.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

holy cow, thats AWFUL for Gonchar

 

[SeidoN]

wait wait.... the Stars actually signed him? wow

 

[Rhodes 81]

quality dman? yikes that is hefty for an aging guy already slowing down in his own end.

He's not great, and that's a ton to pay him, but he's what they need, can't fault them for going for it, especially when cap doesn't matter to them

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Gonachar is exactly the PMD the Stars have needed for some time

They foolishly traded Neal + Niskanen for Goligoski a few years back thinking that was solution (Goligoski has been very meh and his offensive game has regressed in Big D)

New coach most likely. Get it announced before the finals start.

 

[Devils Trap]

If it isnt coach, possibly a trade for a players rights ....... Streit ???

 

[Devils Trap]

Pension Plan Puppets ‏@mlse 1m
So it's Gagner's rights or Horcoff or Hemsky or the coach or maybe Lowe has been fired or maybe the downtown arena is being cancelled

 

[NJDevs26]

They dumped Kruger and hired Dallas Eakins lol

God, they've gone through a lot of coaches over the last several years. Small wonder they can't develop their kids properly.

Free agents can do this before July?

 

[Classic Devil]

Gonchar's rights got traded to Dallas, so yes.

 

[apice3*]

I remember 2 days ago someone said the Stars were stupid for giving up a 6th rounder for his rights because he was going to Russia.

The more you know.

 

[apice3*]

Free agents can do this before July?

Technically he didn't sign a new contract. He signed an extension. Which we can do with any of our FA's.

 

[Devils Trap]

He was joking about how Lou doesnt re-sign any of our own free agents till the very end

 

[SeidoN]

Love this
