Sweet! Now we can trade Filppula!

EAVES 242 GP 40 G 45 A 90 PTS

FILPPULA 235 GP 41 G 53 A 94 PTS

I kid, I kid...

40 + 45 =/= 90. he has 85 points to filppula's 94 in more games. i know you were kidding, and the totals are close in any event, but just thought i'd point out they aren't AS close as the 90-94 comparison.

But Eaves wasn't playing for teams like the Red Wings. Just makes me realise how much Fil really needs to step it up this season, I hope he's been working on his shot this offseason.

45 goals -- corrected now.

Are you taking your frustration of Hudler going to Russia out on Ken Holland doing his job or are just out to blast the Huddles haters?

'Cuz I think Holland tried his best to keep yr boy. ...and yr boy decided to go to Russia and make some money. Validating his greedy card in LGW land.

Don't get me wrong, I wanted Hudler to stay...

I know it's hard right now, but you need to get over your loss. ;)

Back on topic: For $500,000. Eaves is a great signing. He's not an ego or locker room cancer type guy. So, the price tag risk is worth the potential payoff.

EDIT: For clarity.

Um, I've posted LESS comments about him leaving then other people. I was over it before the final decision was made....I was just making a comparison, no need to be rude...I would've F'N gone to Russia too.....Now the capspace is open for this Eaves guy and possibly more since we signed him for $500K.....player wise, I don't agree with, cap situation, I say good job. My post wasn't even about Hudler....it was mostly about the contradiction of the damn article & similarities of the two.....and I just so happened to end it with.."....what do I know, I'm just a Hudler fan......" again-making a joke....apparently I will now need to right (making joke/being sarchastic) when I am meaning it that way. There was no frustration in any of that.....just making a statement.

So thank you for letting me to know I need to get over it......I was a long time ago though......if you notice, I haven't posted much lately.........

I admit I know little to nothing about this guy but I hear people saying $500,000 is a steal. Just wondering, what is his market value? I mean, if he wasn't bought out, what do you guys think he could max out at with his potential?

I was expecting him to sign somewhere around 1 million or so.
