Those were all overpayments and there isn't that much difference between the raise bickell got and what I am suggesting niskanen will get. You may be right, who knows, but I think I'm right. And that's about all we know for sure. And parise got way way ore than he is worth

his cap his is 7.5 yes, his salary is 12, he has one of them there front loaded contracts. He is being overpayed, like so many complain Franzen is, and mention how his cap hit is too long and all that jazz. I am not here to debate Suter's contract though, I used it as reference, and you ignored all the other players I mentioned anyways. Niskanen will be vastly overpayed, it is almost guaranteed. id put $100 on it he will be getting at least $6 million for at least 5 years

didn't even know he was interested. Given how professional he is on the air, I could have sworn he was a wings fan or something. I would never have taken him for a pens or hawks fan..

lol, ya, maybe we can trade datsyuk for chicagos 1st round pick, some conditional sloppy seconds, bickell and and rozsival...

I compared the markets not the players, I just mentioned Suter has never once hit 50 points either. If you think Suter is worth $12 million/year, then I don't know what to tell you, he will hav a very high cap hit until he is 39. It was very much overpayment, Chicago offered even more of an overpayment, and we offered slightly less of one, I am not saying I don't want him here, if it were between Suter and Niskanen, I would absolutely take Suter, his cap hit and term any day without question over niskanen, even if he was willing to play for us for free. Yes Suter is elite, yes he is tops in the league, but he is still being over payed, and that's how it is now. If you don't believe me that Niskanen will get more than he is worth, go look at other contracts that have been handed out, Weber was given a contract that will end up crippling nashville, but they had to match it. Look at Clarkson, Clowe, Bickell, Perry, Parise, Letang, Phaneuf, and half the players on edmonton. Overpaying has become commonplace, because if you don't someone else will don't forget every philly player too

Suter was offered between 7.5-8 million cap hit contract for 13+ years (has never hit 50 points) by many teams solely because he was the only good dman available, when the pickings are slim, and a lot of teams have extra cap space everyone is in a bidding war and prices get driven up. It is quite reasonable to think at least a couple gms will throw an absurd contract his way, philly for sure i can see doing it, ottawa probably could, Washington, Vancouver, Tampa... lots of teams are looking for a top 4 dman and not much is available, I believe kenny will give him a fair offer if he does indeed join in on the fun, something in the 5-6mil/year range, 5-6 years. Ultimately he will sign elsewhere for around 6.5-7/year for 7 years

have the tsn guys ever picked a wings player to win one of these? lol, it's always a wings player in the final and yet they always vote against them, talk about bias lol noodles actually lost his cool and starting yelling at the voters cause they voted against hemsky

YES HELL ******* YES!!!!!!

I've noticed you say something then you quote your own post a lot, do you have multiple personalities? 😄

1.61 to 1.57 for Tatar right now. It's gonna be a close one to the finish. I hope my 12 Windows on my laptop are still voting.

Or just one vote per account, kinda like an election. I'm running the bot one 12 Windows, and clearly oshies bots aren't far behind either, but it should be done in a mire fair way.

Tatar is going to lose. 1.4 million votes though. I agree the way they have the voting set up is retarded

I've gotten greedy, 23 bots on one laptop seems to be too many

The hawks made the 3-1 comeback for the first time in franchise history against us last year, then won the cup. no need for a repeat this year.

so you think blashill should leave?

Reading that article it sounds like Holland basically told blashill that if he sticks around a couple more seasons he'll be all but guaranteed the head coach position in Detroit

From the bottom of my heart, I truly would love to see Chicago hoist the cup of tears tonight, having said that LETS GO KINGS!!!

Looks like st. Louis fans are using bots too

I hope you don't mean Danny Markov lol Gaborik will probably re-sign in LA, he seems to really be enjoying himself there. Markov I would take, might be a little pricey, but what the hell, not my money so let's splurge, we got the cap space anyway. I know Kenny said we shouldnt be expecting a big free agency splash from him, but he says that every year, and still signs players, we will get a dman, probably not Markov cause kenny wants a rh shot, that's why I see us getting Boyle

geaux rags geaux!!

Hudler lol

Weiss is top 6 when healthy, nyquist has potential to be a solid top 6 . and that's all I got lol

You're pretty far off base here, he would probably get a 3 year 15-18 million dollar deal, that's how it works now.

I haven't re watched since the game so maybe I missed the head hit. I tried to watch it on my phone but couldn't see it well enough to make it out, I'll check it on my computer later

I get it, I just didn't think it was that bad.
