Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted June 25, 2012 The media is jumping on the Pens bandwagon once again. I still believe Parise and Suter will be Red Wings on July 1st. Nothing is guaranteed of course. However, the Pens have to trade Martin first. Kudos to Shero for finding a sucker er I mean partner for Michalek. Even if he does have the Cap space, why would Parise and Suter go to the Pens over the Wings? I recall the Pens being eliminated in the 1st round just like the Wings were. I don't think we can get both Parise and Suter here. I think Suter will be a lock to sign in Detroit. Plus, the prospect of playing with Crosby and Malkin may be more appealing than playing here. Who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Look like Jordan's now signed long term. Supposedly 10 years for $60m. From Jim Rutherford's twitter feed: I'm very pleased we'll be announcing shortly that Jordan Staal has committed to make his home in Carolina for a long time. https://twitter.com/HurricanesGM/status/219449390358736896 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaymister 71 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Could be a bargain over the long run, but i'm wary of these marathon contracts though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 Hudler and Val's agents must be salivating. Both out performed him and both don't play as many minutes. Terrible deal. I thought the point of these long contracts were to lower the cap hit. I'm assuming a five year deal would have netted him an 8mil cap hit? That's crazy! I'd rather have Staal than Hudler, but Filppula over Staal. I love Filppula but none of the three players are 6mil players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
