Red Crazy

Guess we'll just have to suffer with a 4 million dollar 30 goal scorer.

At least we aren't Columbus and have to pay 7.5 million for a 30 goal scorer.

I can bet that Franzen's totals would be not so great if he played for the CBJ. Nash would pot 40-50 goals with Pavel.

Can you imagine the amount of lazy a line with both Franzen and Semin would have? Thats a whole lot of lazy.

He could have Fu*ked himself Royally by overpaying for Suter and Parise like the Wild did.

In all fairness, he tried to. Ken Holland is not smart because he knew better then to sign Parise and Suter to a long huge contract. He lost out because they wanted to play in Minny. He tried and failed remember that.

I agree. That is not a playoff team. Add in an injury or two along the way and that team could be in big trouble. I am starting to panic a bit but if this is the team that Ken Holland is "happy with" to start the season then perhaps he should go.

The owners and players are going to handcuff themselves yet with these huge contracts. I for one think that the league should reject all contracts over 5 years. Players would then have to earn their paychecks based on performance not by ufa class. The owners would also have to use their heads when signing contracts. Suter and Parise are not worth anywhere near the money they got. Crosby signed a long term when one more hit could end his career. Players are greedy and the owners are stupid. have we really gone anywhere since the last lockout?

This is a good signing for those that have a Samuelsson jersey collecting dust in the closet. Sorry thats the best I 've got. ( being positive )

new fan favorite right here.

He will be you wait! If he hits everything in sight like he used to this may not be that bad. but as far as Sammy goes...did Kenny lose a bet?

One of our roster guys is being traded. is Nash on the way?

3m per and a no trade wtf!

WHY?

I will never ever forgive Kyper if this is wrong.

If this is what this type of player will demand. I hope Kenny sticks with the high end guys and lets the young guys fill out the roster. Gaustad is not worth that much money for what he brings to the table.

Edmonton likely offered him top 2 ice time ( their defense is that bad ) Edmonton will not make the playoffs again this year and they will fire yet another coach.

So if those saying that Franzen's contract is not that bad then he should be easy to unload right? Franzen is lazy. He is not streaky. But hey if he is so great and his contract is so good I say dump his ass and get someone that cares.  For the same money Doan is available.

I've always had the sort of love/hate thing with Doan watching him play.  He plays on the edge, and often over it.  But the guy's a competitor and has strapped his team on his back time and time again in the playoffs.  That's hard not to like.

I have to say though, I lost respect for him not for his antics in the handshake line with LA, but his whining in the lockerroom about the officials being against the Coyotes.  He sounded like a bitter fan, not the captain.  I have a feeling Tippet used an "everybody is against us" mentality to motivate his team, but it might have created an air of victimhood too.  

It's one thing for Smith, who's just another insane goalie, but I was just surprised to hear Doan say things like that.

I think if givin a chance Doan would take those comments back in a heart beat. I would take a player that gives a s*** over one that isnt interested in the regular season 10 times out of 10.
