Nevermind 363 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 I knew it wasn't us. But, with the Ericsson deal and all, you ******* scared me by not naming the signing team in the thread title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travis 576 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Buffalo is my 'alternate' team. I was cool with the Ehrhoff overpayment, but this is nuts. Leino's really riding that successful playoff run, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dimaline312000 51 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 $4.5 Per Season for Ville has Buffalo gone mad?? I'm sorry but without some dramatic improvement that is way to much to pay for him but whatever that's the Sabres decision I just hope they don't regret it in a year or so.

Manoir 70 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 It's a bit high, but I think a real good fit for Buffalo. With Roy, Vanek, Pominville, and Stafford there are plenty of scorers for Leino. Also, I'm kind of happy to see players going to a good market like Buffalo after so many left due to financial reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest echos myron Report post Posted July 1, 2011 makes the big rig deal a bit more palatable. Both are about 1 - 1.5 mil overpaid. Leino has actually done something though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenrebellion 415 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Guy gets 19 goals and 34 points once in his career and suddenly he's worth 4.5 million over 6 years?? What is a guy like Cleary worth in a market like this, its insane! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevermind 363 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah, sorry. I realized that immediately after I hit post. Sorry Edit: Thanks for fixing it mods! No problem. I didn't mean to sound harsh to you. It was really my frustration with the Wings' situation. Anyways, I'm sorry too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenrebellion 415 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 *19 goals and 53 points Yes indeed. I think the 34 was assists. My bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 You overpay for players who make stuff happen on the ice, not players who only benefit when other great players are already doing the work for them. Terrible overpayment, especially for 6 years! I don't understand why so many teams hate signing hard-working players. That's how you win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 How is this an overpayment when he had a much better season last year than Ericsson? Technically, both deals are overpayments, but based on the Ericsson move, this actually makes financial sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Wonder how good he'll be without Briere and Hartnell. Wonder how good they'll be without him.
