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 " kind of signing. 1 sleepwalker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Kenny, Kenny, Kenny. You sign Derian Hatcher, I assume you were hung over at the time. You sign Bertuzzi not once, but twice, I assume temporary insanity. You sign Ericcson to that kind of contract, I'm thinking lobotomy. WTH????? 1 Majsheppard reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 What makes me mad is Ehrhoff is only 750k more a year. I am so freaking mad. I don't think Holland is a bad GM, I think the league is broken. The cap went up way too much in one year. 1 wings1110 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted July 1, 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. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 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... 5 sleepwalker, wings1110, Dominator2005 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
