I'll just say it now. I would love to add Boyle and/or niskanen. As long as we don't have to pay $6m plus for either.

I agreed with everything you said till hbo. I thought they did an awful job with the wings-Leafs winter classic.

I'd probably rather have nosek and his minuscule contract, instead of ghost vanek and his large cap

Nosek will probably be soft, so I assume his nickname will be nosack

It's a two way entry level contract. What makes you think he will be playing top 6 minutes out of the gate?

Well no more cups for la... 2 is enough

Never heard of him...

Kids... In the summer of 2014 your mother and I saw the greatest scf of all time, it was talked about for years as the suck it kings final.

Pizza liner, goof job? Sounds like I could fill that position

Well we are still the last team to sweep and the last back to back champs. Yay wings!!

Philly doesn't have much money to spend though (what else is new) and I think they still need quite a few players. They basically have prongers cap hit plus a mil or two. Just checked and they prongers cap plus 2 mil and they only have 10 forwards, 6 d, and 1 goalie

I highly doubt there is no pressure

He didn't say anything wrong. He said he could tell the sharks were losing confidence and they did, and that they came back and won which they did and they don't want to give the rangers that same hope, which they did.

Sutter is quickly becoming one of my favorite coaches. I love his pressers

That's against the rules. Bettman made sure yzerman knew he could not do that when he bought out lecavalier

I hear announcers say the same about mule. What's your point?

Quite a few actually. The announcers give him so much praise based off past success even after he lets in 4-5 goals, which he has done quite a bit. Yes he has stolen some games, but he is nowhere near the level he is capable of.

Yes I am saying that, he has looked shaky in almost every post season game, and if it wasn't for his team scoring ridiculous amounts of goals, the kings wouldn't have made it this far. Like I said quick has had a few very good games, but his overall performance this post season and most of the regular season has him looking Crawford. I'm not saying he isn't elite I'm saying he hasn't been playing at an elite level. On the subject of lundqvist, he hasn't been all too great either, but I think he's been better then quick

Quicks been good in a few games but he wasn't elite during the season or post season this year

Where's he going to find a starting job? Yes washed up. Shame he didn't retire, instead he's pulling a chelios and ruining his reputation

Both!!

I was not comparing their actual points but their streakyness. They are all paid to perform at very high level and they all take nights off, and those are all names that have been thrown around here that people want.

They are all very streaky and have much larger cap hits, they are expected to produce more than franzen, I was pointing out how streaky they are. You're commenting how they have produced at a higher level has nothing to do with my post. That's like saying abdelkader should score 50 points a year even though he is paid way less than franzen I understand that, which is why I pointed out how much higher paid players are just as streaky. Like I said I would love for him to be more consistent, but it seems par for the course these days that high talent players score in bunches then disappear. He isn't elite and never has been.

That is exactly what I said, word for word. You didn't put words in my mouth at all. All I did was point out that there are worse contracts out there, and that franzens contract gets way more flack than it should. Everyone wishes he would be more consistent, but the fact remains he isn't but he is still a very good two way forward and his defensive *** is extremely underrated around here. Take what you will from my post, I provided facts, you made up what I was thinking. I have you the info, you do with it what you like.

those guys also get payed handsomely for it...Franzen is paid the money that a player who puts up 50+ points/year and takes a bunch of nights off will make, in fact he is paid less then most of those players would.Miller doesn't provide much offensively but he is great defensively, so he gets paid relatively well for what he provides, Z and D are the heart and soul of our team (along with helm) and they put up big points, and are always backchecking, and never take nights off, but they also make way more money then he does. It would fare better if you compared apples to apples Vanek - $7m/year cap hit, just as streakey, probably will get $6m/year on his next contract Nash - $7.8 m/year cap hit, see Vanek Hall - $6m/year cap hit, just as streaky Thornton - $7m/year cap hit, very streaky Kessel - Starting an 8 year $64 million deal, he has been very streaky almost every year Ovechkin - $9.5 m/year oh boy ovechkin is the worst of the worst, he has recently started scoring a lot of goals again, but he is not engaged ever, 28 assists, that is all he gotthis year. that would be good for 4th on ourteam that barely scored this year, for the guy with the highest cap hit in the league, unacceptable. These are all very streaky players that don't provide much when they go cold and they all make considerably more than franzen. The grass is always greener, but everyone here would copmplain just as much, if not more if we had any of those players, and considering their cap hits and productions, I will take Mule every time
