"Coming to a screen this fall: (basically) 5 teams, over 120 trillion dollars worth of contracts, roughly 3.5 playoff spots and two poor ******** who don't stand a chance.... The Northeastern Norris Division: War is hell baby."

 

[JmanWingsFan]

Is Iginla legit making $6 million next year?

 

[SirKillalot]

I kind of want to see Bertuzzi and Iginla fight.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 8m

Iggy deal: $1.8 M base salary, $3.7 M games played bonus, $500,000 goal scoring/team playoff performance: total $6 M

 

[mindfly]

He will meet games played unless he's injured...

Probably 5.5M all in all.

So 4.2 Million worth of bonuses could carry over against Boston's cap in 2014/15 and Iginla may not even be playing for them. Talk about short sighted move.

Weird dramatic way to end the career of an otherwise loyal player.

Our new division really went balls out in Free Agency/trades.
Couple teams are going to be very miserable come seasons end.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

Wow... This will definitely be a new league next year.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about Alfie's bonus $ counting against the Wings' cap next season, but at least it's a fair amount less than Iginla's bonuses.

Bertuzzi, Samuelsson, Gustavsson, Eaves, Quincey and Alfie's (3.5 base) come off the cap next year. So were in a position to defer 2M. Don't think Bos is in a good spot to defer 4.2M.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

Would take Iginla at his deal over Alfredsson at our deal any day of the week

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

This new division is going to be amazing.

Alfredsson's the best winger Detroit has had since Hossa

What the hell?
Best Winger since Hossa?

Better than Franzen? Better than Flip two years ago? Better than even Hudler two years ago?

Cause it looks to me like Alfredsson -- who will be 41 next season ---
is coming off a season that prorates to

17 goals 28 assists - 45 points

Now... if that's the best winger we've had since Hossa --- then you must really hate our wingers.

By the way, Here's Brunner's numbers -- and we let him walk because he wanted $2.5M a year, according to the Wings press.

22 goals 26 assists 48 points (if we do this by points per minute, Brunner blows Alfredsson out of the water.0


So, I'm going to let you retract your statement. Or whatever, don't.

It's on you.
