Yeah that's a real Stanley Cup winning team, Not.
You seriously have to wonder if Illitch is going all in on the Tigers and is telling Holland to keep the wings payroll as low as possible (but still good enough to make the playoffs to generate them big dollars)
The money is fine, the term is terrible. He's 33 and he got 5 years and a Full NMC.
I woulda went 5m per for 3 years tops.
Two years. That was the problem and that was their plan. Bring the kids in after those years and the term didn't fit.
I wonder if they will give Jarnkrok a legitimate chance to make the team now? (assuming he puts on weight).
That's a better and more experienced team that was THE ONLY ONE who could push the Current Champion in 7 games and lose in overtime.
And that moron of a journalist keeps reporting that Lecavalier is 34 despite the fact that he's born in April of 1980...
Clarkson wants, 7 years 6.0 million per
Horton wants, 5 years, 6.0 million per (wants to be at warm south)
Filppula wants, 8 years, 5.5 million per
Bozak wants, 7 years, 5.0 million per
This freaking market is going to be insane. Players revenge from the lockout?
Renaud Lavoie @RenLavoieRDS
Sorry. 22.5 for 4 years for Vincent Lecavalier and the Flyers

I've been suspecting that for awhile (considering how much Ilitch is going to have to spend on Cabrera and possibly Scherzer to keep them).
I don't understand a scenario where Ken Holland does nothing for years and repeats the same stuff over and over without something else influencing his decisions. I don't remember him being anything like this before 2009.
Honestly, at $4.5M, I don't think this is that bad. By year 3 or 4, he bounces over to the Wing..
Cap should be at $75M by then

The deal was 4 years not 5.

That 4 years would be 5.625 caphit if it is 22.5 million total.

I don't understand why you meet with a UFA and then feed it to the press you're concerned about his "pace"
