zetterbergfuturemvp

he's not an ufa

unfortunetly for you guys hes planning to bring the team to ontario lol

can someone pls break prongers legs already ?? i cant stand that punk , i really want a fighter next season just to kick his ass and now .....ottawa's losing their cool , all players on the ice except for 2 are going at it

they might not of liked him but they definetly wouldnt of disliked him as much as they do now , if the guy was making 2 milliion and gettin 20 goal season it wouldnt of bothered them as much

selanne will retire and giggy might not be back....."might" ...........i dont think theyll be back in the final 4 , it means we'd face them again if they make it to the final 4 theres nothin else id want more then to beat the living crap out of that fluke team ,i couldnt watch tonights game , the thought of seeing those losers lifting the cup makes me wanna throw up so im just not paying attention to the sports channels ill just wait till the draft, july 1st for ufa's and then next season

its cause he was making so much money for so long is the reason why islander fans would agree with you

you can say the same thing about pyatt but he still got 1.5 per

im not a fan of antropov ......call me crazy but a 20-25 goal scorer should get more then 1 million .......

LOL ......again ........what would you give him as a salary ?? be realistic now

whatever dude he could of had a 25 goal season , wtf do you wanna give guys who get 25 goals ?? 1 million ??? you have to be realstic , your niave if you think no team would of taken a shot on antropov and given him a 2 million per year deal

Hes a leader , 30+ goal scorer , gritty is a playoff guy. ------------you just described holmstrom lol i wouldnt mind having smyth if there was no cap but we cant have him now because of the cap ,zetterberg in 2 yrs will get a raise ........franzen cleary filppula lebda .......all those guys will eventually require a raise and if listrom is playing and still making 5+ a season that will be impossible if we have him with smyth zetterberg and datsyuk ......so smyth is not an option

everyones been trashing yashin so badly cause he plays when he wants to , and he sucks and whatever else ...........i agree .......BUT ...............i think the main reason why everyones attacking him is cause of the ridiculous amount of money hes getting , thats not the guys fault thats the stupid islanders staff .....if anyone gave us 87 million for 10 yrs we'd take it in a heartbeat .........with that said the guy did have 18 goals and 50 points in 58 games , if he was making say 2 million a season then im sure nobody would be trashing the guy like we are now , its not amazing numbers especially for a guy making the money he was but they are reasonable numbers for someone making less money i know ill get trashed but id "might" consider taking the guy on our team for a "one" year deal at maybe 1.5- 2 mill ......yashin datsyuk grigorenko??? the new russian line ? lol he does seem to play better when hes in russia ........anyways i think hes getting trashed way too much

im not saying hes a great player but he did get 18 goals in 54 games , he could of had a 25-30 goal season , thats gotta be worth at least 2 million , if not the leafs to another team ........how much do you guys want the guy to get ????...........again im not saying hes amazing but i think 2 million for a 25-30 goal scorer is reasonable

yes lol

your saying itll cost the team 8.8 in total cap space for the next 4 years , but there gonna be hit with this for the next 8 yrs at 2.2 mill against the cap , not 4......so there gonna be screwed for a long long time lmfao thats if there even still in new york by that time , they way there taking care of that team it wont last much longer lmao

what are you talking about saving 20 million in the next 4 years ????? they basically save like 9 million from buying him out and then they gotta take a cap hit of 2.2 per season for the next 8 years ...........LOL

lmao this is hilarious ........now the islanders are screwed for 8 seasons hahahaha , man that yashin signing was the worst thing they ever did lmao

im kinda fed up of hearing about fedorov , hes almost 40 and making 6 mill a year and for some reason hes not even close to the same player he was when he was here ........ i "might" consider bringing him back after next season if hes willing to make no more then 2 million for one season

samsonov ????? .........LOL ...........HELL NO

great ducks get fluke and win again ............alright im done with the nhl i cant see pronger and perry win the cup , bye bye nhl and hello nba finals , im paying attention now to lebron james and the cavs

hartnell and bertuzzi

how did the bonus's work??????? i thought hasek got 450g's per round , so shouldnt he have gotten 900k ?? and what did chelios get 300 k for ??????? for playing 60 games ? lol

the reason im bringing this up is cause i read that we didnt sign more prospects on june 1st cause of this rule that says a team cant have more then 50 contracts nhl/ahl and prospects combined , so im just curious to know how much space we got left , cause next season we got 6 prospects i believe , who at first glance id sign all of them personally ....from what i saw this is who we have signed if im missing someone please be free to let me know 1 lidstrom 2 zetterberg 3 datsyuk 4 ozzie 5 lilja 6 lebda 7 kronwall 8 holmstrom 9 draper 10 maltby 11 cleary 12 kopecky 13 filppula 14 samuelsson 15 franzen ahl 16 matt ellis 17 bootland 18 meech 19 ericsson 20 himelfarb 21 oulahen 22 quincey 23 mcgrath 24 howard 25 hussey 26 langfeld 27 norton prospects 28 grigorenko 29 ryno 30 ritola 31 mursak 32 kindl 33 helm 34 emmerton 35 logan koopman ( echl) + chelios and hudler that should be automatic = 37 if we sign 2 defensemen + 2 forwards and hasek = 42 contracts ..........does that make any sense to anyone here ??? did i miss someone ?? sounds to me like we could of kept jeff may at least

is it true 1.1 mill will count against the cap next season for hasek's bonus and 300 g's for chelios ??( didnt even know we owed hasek that much and owed chelios an extra 300g's ) if so that blows, 1.4 lost already .......so if were lucky and its 52 million and we'll wanna leave 2mill cap space to make changes if need be that means our real cap number is 48.5 , and thats if the caps 52, if its 47 like we heard then we only have 43.5 really

pyett and anton axelsson are signed ??? where did you hear that ? on redwingscentral.com it shows they gotta be signed next season ......im pretty sure they might sign all 5 which is why they didnt sign may or stamler ......kolosov is a big big body on the back end and the other 4 sound like all guys they might sign you gotta add the ahl players , from what i read they count .....hussey, ellis langfeld etc....
