Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 Good deal. Hainsey is big and physical, good on the PP as well. Atlanta had a ton of room and needed someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akustyk 84 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 why am I seeing multimilion contracts signed by players about which I didn't even hear about? this is some insanity. GMs are throwing huge bucks for no name guys just because they have cap space and need to fill roster spots. it's insane... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jawbreaker 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 Atlanta is finally doing something. They need to improve, and fast. Kovalchuk is not happy to rot in the last place. They should add some D's, and centre (Demitra, Yashin). Ron Hainsey is not great signing at this price, but at least it's not fingering themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
