mjlegend 155 Report post Posted July 7, 2009 Kind of shocking that this is, of course, now a perfectly reasonable amount for a #3 defenceman these days. <-------- (wishes he got bonuses that were twice his base pay) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they will, but something's got to change between now and October. Someone is going. Campbell? Good luck finding a sucker to take that laughable contract.

MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted July 7, 2009 Who they gonna cut? Looking at the numbers, I'd say Sopel is easily the odd-man out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,958 Report post Posted July 7, 2009 They can still sign Versteeg, and will. TSN reported earlier that they are close to a deal with him. Well they are going to have to trade someone before camp ends right now, whatever Versteeg gets is gonna put them in that much more of a hole. They ARE n fact $562,000 OVER the cap right now! Not sure if they'll regret Hossa signing more than they'll regret giving Kopecky $1.2M a year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt198913 932 Report post Posted July 7, 2009 How are they getting away with this. It will be a small miracle to sign Versteeg and trade Cambell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,958 Report post Posted July 7, 2009 Something tells me that Kopecky was part of the sales pitch to Hossa. Hmmmmmmmmm, who's to say that wasn't the reason he left Detroit? Hossa was ok with the $4.5m but said Kopeky had to be signed too, well Holland tells Hossa he has no intentions of doing that so Hossa goes to where someone will take Kopecky as well... ...in an odd kinda way, if that were the case, I kinda respct Hossa for helping his life-long friend out. Maybe a promise made to each other or maybe Hossa promised Kopecky that he would take care of him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted July 7, 2009 I am so happy that our GM and Owners are competent and wise. The Blackhawks are showing their inexperience at being a good team and keeping that team together for the long haul. Giving this kind of money to a young guy like Barker, while good, is a perfect example of how the cap is going to be completely screwed down the line. Could you see us giving Ericsson, had he been a RFA this season, 3+ million a season right off the bat? HELL NO! And Ericsson would have stayed for much less too. It's not exactly the same, but look at Leino... 775,000 for 2 years. Sure he only played 13 regular season game, but the potential is there and he had 9 points in 13 - that was no fluke. It's going to be interesting to see how the Hawks dig themselves out of the hole that they have continued to dig deeper and deeper this off-season. They will have to trade more than Sopel if they plan on keeping Versteeg. Thanks Talon, thanks for continuing the trend of screwing up the cap system for the NHL. Bloated salaries in a s*** economic time = ignorance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only credible source that I seen was Holland offered Hossa 10 years @ (3.75 million) to 4 million cap hit.

I can go find a link... You can call the average of it 4. whatever, it was going to be a 5 or 6 year deal worth around 38-39 mil pure and simple... Chicago signed him to the same type deal except he get around 8 mil ea of the first 4 years and then it drops a bit next few then some buyout years... Detroit offered Hossa 6.5 per for around 6 years and then a very easy buyout after that... Holland didnt offer him 4 mil for this year he offered him like 6.5 mil this year and for a handful more...
