Ericsson and Howard have the most painful contracts. Weiss too since Babcock isn't using him.

They're both paid their market value IMO.

 

[PelagicJoe]

They're both paid their market value IMO.

No way in Hell that Big Rig is worth that much. Jimmy might have been worth that at the time of the signing, but I think he deserves a pay cut IMO.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Is 5 mil what we have if we sign all those guys in Dark?

If so, we probably need to cut a couple of them loose to get a Top pair dman, Unless we trade for one.

 

[SoupNazi]

I don't think Andersson returns, personally.

Kind of sign "mike green" for 6 million and then trade Smith (approximated 1.5M) and we have 0.5M in cap space.

So you want some veteran like Cleary to be that 13th forward? Those kind of vets are always double expensive than Andersson would be. And I think Joker is a perfect 13th-14th forward. Can help PK and jump in 4th line in injury cases. The main point is, he is cheap and definitely worth of his money. You need this kind of guys in cap world. And I also see him as "next Miller", when it's time to part with Drew. Same player package.

Andersson wont be a miller.

If he wants 1 mil, Id cut him loose

 

[WingedWheel1987]

The amount of time left on Ericsson's contract is so depressing. He wasn't even worth that deal when he signed that contract.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Nope he wasnt, He did have a decent playoff run though... Not top 2 material play, But maybe top 4 at best.

Next year, Turnovers are bound to happen again.

 

[ap3x]

Ericsson's contract always amazes me. Highly ironical that a player of his quality earns that much with the Winged Wheel on his chest, whereas guys like Tats, Helm and Abby earn at least 1,5M less.

 

[RedWingsfan55]

You mean a guy who played 1 season? Or a guy who,is injury prone with hands of stone? Or a guy who just now had a career year but was over his head every other year?


Nyquist won't get 4.5m lol good Lord people.

 

[Syckle78]

Nyquist will get close to 4.5m. That's not even a lot of money in today's market.

Good to know that you consider E being worth that much and don't claim it being ironical right now.

 

[Henkka]

Ericsson's contract includes UFA years. Tatar, Helm, Akader won't.

No comparables.

 

[Retire91]

Need to leave about 1.5 for Cleary

Also with Franzen on LTIR I think his cap counts in the offseason but once the season starts they can then put him on LTIR and free that cap space. I seem to remember this with Pronger but not sure?

 

[Winger98]

I don't know why the Ericsson contract bothers people so much when we have Weiss taking up $4.9m worth of pressbox every night. And regardless of the love Quincey garnered this year, his deal is the one on the backend that was entirely avoidable and unnecessary.

 

[Flowah]

No way in Hell that Big Rig is worth that much. Jimmy might have been worth that at the time of the signing, but I think he deserves a pay cut IMO.

E is a middle pairing guy. That's what they get paid these days. Same with Jimmy. Prices go up almost every year. This just is what it is.

 

[Frk It]

Nyquist won't get 4.5m lol good Lord people.

Explain why.

 

[odin1981]

No way in Hell that Big Rig is worth that much. Jimmy might have been worth that at the time of the signing, but I think he deserves a pay cut IMO.

Whether you like him or not he is a established top 4 d man. And in case you haven't seen the trends of last year's FA market the going rate for one of those type of players is 5-5.5 million per. He is signed for around 4.25'ish so he is below market value. He also wouldn't look bad at all if he was slid correctly to where he should be (#4 shut down man on a second pairing).

So your argument is weak at best. He is not a off-d man but he is fine in a second pairing role. He shouldn't be on the top pairing but that is more on Holland not getting someone then him being placed there out of not making the first pairing too heavy with both Kronner and DDK on the same line.

 

[Frk It]

Need to dump that Weiss contract.

 

[hyduK]

Need to get rid of Weiss. If we could somehow unload him to Toronto in a package with one of our roster D (Smith/Kindl) that would be nice.

If Babcock goes to Edmonton try to unload Ericsson on them. They'll probably take anything at D and Babs must love Big E considering he was an untouchable first pairing for most of this year.

Then bring XO up.

Kronwall-Phaneuf
DK-AM
XO/-Quincey

Keep XO down if we sign Green

 

[Winger98]

E is a middle pairing guy. That's what they get paid these days. Same with Jimmy. Prices go up almost every year. This just is what it is.

yep, and if we unload him and then lose Quincey after this year, we'll probably be blowing at least what we spend on E just to bring back someone roughly equivalent to him.

 

[aar000n]

If were not going to play weiss we get to get rid of him.
