If Kenny doesn't have a big rabbit to pull out of his sleeve tomorrow; I will for the first time in the history of kenny holland; doubt his GM abilities. It APPEARS we have ******* sat around while everyone is scooped up. This could very well be another ******* soft hearted "bu.bu.but, he's a wingy :blush: " kind of signing.

Sounds like somebody wants to spend just to have a press conference...

I wonder how that usually works out?

Scott Gomez, Rangers, 7 years, $51.5 million — 128 points in 158 games, one playoff series win, traded to Canadiens in 2009.

Michal Handzus, Kings, 4 years, $16 million — 135 points in 327 games, zero playoff series wins.

Brian Rafalski, Red Wings, 5 years, $30 million — 204 points in 292 games, one Stanley Cup championship, retired in 2011.

Ryan Smyth, Avalanche, 5 years, $31.25 million — 96 points in 132 games, one playoff series win, traded to Kings in 2009.

Sheldon Souray, Oilers, 5 years, $27 million — 76 points in 144 games, zero playoff appearances, bought out in 2011.

It's almost certain to be for four years. It was mentioned in an article or interview recently that Holland and Ericsson were working on 2 year and 4 year terms, with the money around $2m. Changing that to over $3m for three years just whacks it too much. Four years would be $2,437,500 per season, which is right where the reported numbers were at.

I actually like Big Rig, but this is a brutal contract if that's the real numbers? Unless they plan on playing him top 4, PP, PK, he will never live up to that contract. Quite puzzling.

I am fully convinced now that holland is NOT the best gm in the league... Holland should be fired for this! I am dead serious. Get ready for kaberle...

was not trading for burns a good move? NO!

LOL. You AGAIN! You've completely failed thus far to present a deal that would have beaten out San Jose's. Would you care to FINALLY go over that?
