Tommy_Like_Wingy

I refuse to buy player jerseys unless they're already retired and had long careers as Wings.

He's too expensive for a player who is now borderline retarded after that concussion.

Probably just reading what his publicist wrote for him. He can't exactly say, "Yeah, they were the only team that gave me a reasonable deal without having to move to a hell hole like Philly."

I wouldn't say expect. Hope is more like it. But what choice do they have?

lol'd at Martian

So Turco says he won't play for less than $3m but is willing to sign with Chicago for $1.5? Huh?

So you're admitting you're as dumb as the Hawks fans who didn't understand that article either?

Yes. As long as the number awarded didn't put them over the 10% buffer in the off season they can agree to the contract and then trade him. I'm assuming they already have a buyer lined up by now. How hilarious would it be if they agreed to a bloated contract and then no other teams would trade for him?

EA bases their choice on players who actually play their games as well as on ice performance. Stamkos probably plays it, but for some reason I doubt Hank, Pavs, and Lids do.

brb never winning a Cup

I'd be fine with Pittsburgh winning as long as the WC curse comes into play later.

Chicago is retarded for even letting it pan out this long. Anything awarded to him for over $2m would be an absolute joke.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Holy s*** this guy gets the worst injuries ever. First a crushed ball and now the achilles?

So you're saying it wasn't implied when he said they were one and done?

He'll be an RFA but it's pointless to even discuss since LA will lock him up for at least 5 years.

I doubt we'll have any problems with Chicago next season. I'll be surprised if they steal more than one game against us. Uh they got him back in a trade. They didn't sign him and then ship him off. Huge difference, this happens all the time. We've been one and done in the cap era too so far. Come on bro, you call that guy out for living in 2004 and then try to bring up our old championships from before the lockout but then go on to call them one and done? We like to take pride in the hockey IQ Wings fans have over other fanbases but I read biased stuff like this all the time on here and it makes me wonder.

Well Huet will be off the roster. I really don't see why they're bothering with Niemi either. He was average at best in the playoffs and a little above average based on his regular season numbers. They'd be retarded to pay more than $2m for him.

It crazy what kind of broads these guys pull in, especially the ugly ones.

Yeah but the arbiter just priced the guy right out of a job. What a waste of time.

Because they traded Reasoner? I don't get it.

lol who would give him $2.4m?

What smoke screen has Bowman tossed up?

I wonder how they're differentiating this from the other contracts like it.
