jeff48109 474 Report post Posted July 4, 2010 These bits made my eyes pop out Link to article Boogaard's four-year, $6.6 million contract seems wildly excessive and will challenge coach John Tortorella's familiar assertion that paychecks don't influence lineup decisions. It is a fact, however, that Edmonton actually offered Boogaard -- who is going to Russia this summer to train with Pavel Datsyuk --$7 million over four years. not sure what is more mind bogging, Edmonton offering the Boogeyman $7 million over 4 years, or that the Boogeyman is going to train with Pasha in Russia this offseason.

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted July 4, 2010 Edmonton is a horrible organization. They over pay their players so much because no one wants to go there. 3 TheDetroitRedWings, Hockeymom1960 and puffy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted July 4, 2010 Boogard trained with datsyuk in Russia last offseason as well. That is why some people speculated that Boogard signing in Detroit was a good possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 4, 2010 Between ******* Glen Sather and the dumbass Oilers, we never had a shot at Boogaard. Why are teams/gm's so stupid? Boogaard is an ok hockey player, sure he's the toughest dude in the NHL, but anything more then 800k a year is ridiculous overpayment. And Edmonton were ready to give him almost more then a million more then that, incredible. 2 puffy and Wings_Fan_In_Exile reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 That would of been so cool to see Boogard come to Detroit, living in Minnesota and watching him play is actually fun. It's amazing hearing the fans chant Boogard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
