I third the motion, would rather give up Mantha than AA

Great deal for 2 years. Goalies like Mrazek that can elevate for the playoffs don't grow on trees. As good as we all know he is, I think he's still underrated. Again, being able to elevate your game in the playoffs is huge, and he's done it twice now, second time doing so completely cold. He's going to be great for a long time.

this is pure Gold.

He only went to arbitration because Mrazek wanted like $5 million. Holland requesting arbitration brought Mrazek back down to earth. Holland gets full credit on this one to be honest. We were the only team in the league to file arbitration AGAINST a player rather than the usual players filing against the team. We did well. Not to mention Mrazek will be an RFA after this contract is up too. This is a perfect win-win for us.

Overblown? It's not even a real rumour... Just a couple guys in a forum making stuff up....

So with how things are with the cap as of now, it's pretty much safe to say they'd be looking for a trade right, not like they can F things up by renewing Quincey, right?

Dekeyser isn't a prospect

Would love to have PK on the team.

DK's face after reading that article

I for one find these rebuilding years fun to watch I won't be disappointed until Larkin and co have a few full seasons under their belt and the team still isn't making progress Holland's made some questionable moves lately but I'm not going to act like he needs to be fired until he starts losing promising players because of it. When and if he makes a trade for an impact defensemen it will be very very important for the future of the team. Right now he's left himself a lot of options. Larkin could have been gone without playing a game for Myers if I remember the rumour correctly

Yeah I remember that lol.

Down to earth? Andersen got 5 millions longterm. Mrazek > Andersen. And it's not even close. Mrazek was better last season despite Andersen playing behind the better team and a far better defense. Mrazek also proved to be a clutch player. Always was at his best in the playoffs. Andersen hardly stops anything in the postseason. We're talking about pure goodwill from a player probably wanting to help the organization and keeping a good relationship with the management. He might even saved Holland's job by accepting 4. Would have been tough to fit Mrazek in at 5 millions. Inconsistency is no reason to lowball Mrazek at all. He clearly wasn't himself after that Schenn attack. Was reportedly ill right after and hardly stopped a puck the following four games he played. Call me whatever you want but I immediately felt that something was wrong with him after the incident. Either him or the club probably just didn't want to reveal the reason behind it all. What's for sure is that he got misused at that time. Should have given a rest. He definitely lost his way there. https://twitter.com/StefanKubus/status/709925727366307840 In the future Holland better stops wasting money for useless or average players. We got several terrible contracts we'll probably never get out of (Nielsen, Helm, Green, Nyquist, Ericsson, Howard). I also think that Glendening and Ericsson earn too much for what they bring to the table. How things go at the moment maybe even the Zetterberg contract will come back to hurt us. It's 1 to 12 for Holland.

everyone being too positive...so ill be the first overpaid. guy fell apart mid season. who knows if he'll ever recover

David Poile is a beast.

They'lle keep the streak alive till we beat the record. What is it like 4 more years to break it or something?

Brunner could Datsyuk. He ain't no bust.

Probably the highlight of the 2013 playoffs.

I don't consider Brunner a bust. Not a whole lot was expected of him and he was decently effective in his short stint with us. For a very short time, the line of Nyquist-Andersson-Brunner was kinda sorta awesome.
