So mid range 1st rounder, 2nd round center prospect, and a 4th line scrub for Kapanen? Why? Kapanen isn't even good.

Mantha and Bert will be paid based on their performance. Much like Fabbri was.

But haven't you heard? Mantha is gonna make 15 mil per and Bert will make 9 mil per.

I'm baffled by any complaints about this contract. It's zero risk, even when factoring in injury history. No trouble to tell some folks were just dying for some news to complain about.

Let's see if it gets as heated as Hossa v. Franzen! Team Fabbri here!

Both of my dads are Canadian

What's the old saying? 1M per 10 pts. Hence 120 pt guys get 12M 60 pt guys get around 6M 30 pt guys get 3M Are we saying Fabbri won't get 30 pts? What's the other old saying? Oh yeah! @kipwinger is a troll on his best day and a raging a-hole on his worst. LOL

I don't "hate" or "like" players. I don't know them so having personal feelings about them is childish. I don't think he's anything more than a decent third line winger. Totally replaceable. He also has a significant injury history. And he's an RFA. because of all those things I think that 2.9 million was too much. I don't think the contract will cripple the team, though I do expect it will factor into other negotiations this year. But that doesn't mean it's not an overpayment.

Glendening would be an UFA. No need to protect him. Just re-sign him July 1st. Helm may not be back after this season. Protect Svech.

Making less than 3 million per year in being paid a premium now? He was on pace for ~50 points. He got a 2 year deal to prove himself. You're looking at his contract in terms of a raise. That's not how sports contracts works. Players get paid based on their production. His previous contract has nothing to do with it. There is no way in hell Mantha and Bert are looking at this saying "ooooo, we're due for a 350% raise". That's not how it works... And comparing this to Marner or Nylander? They went from ELCs to huge money. Fabbri signed a bridge deal. You're either out to lunch or massively bored and trolling, in which case I took the bait.

Omg it's a 2 year contract. Get over it. It in no way hurts the team. If he plays poorly we get burned a little bit. If he plays really good we win. We have tons of cap, and nothing to spend it on anyway.

I'm Canadian, sup?

Knowing Yzerman's history as a GM? You're probably right.

Uh oh. A 2 year sub 3M contract for a middle six winger? The stakes have never been higher! Yzerman better watch his back.
