Best player in the world. Suck it Crosby.

Tootoo didn't play in the playoffs with the Predators either. I think he was signed with the idea that he would not always be in the lineup. I really don't see anything that suggests that Tootoo would be bought out.

For those in west Michigan, the game will be televised on WXSP.

If he does Holland is an idiot and Datsyuk's agent should run for office. He is 34 years old and coming off an "off" year for him stats wise (before you say it was a short season, I know, post-season wasn't what I expected from him. He was almost invisible against CHI). Why would he get a raise? 

 

If anything his salary goes down. I see him getting between 6-6.5 mil per season for a two season deal. Anything more will be front loaded at like 7 and end up at 4 or so when he is around 38-39 like most other long term contracts. Malkin is young and that's why he gets so much. Pavel is old by NHL superstar standards and should get less than he gets now. 

 

Regardless he is a top 5 forward in the world. He will get minimum 7mil and is very much worth it.

Just sign so my daughter can get your jersey!

All this talk of $1.5-2M, its no wonder people slag off KH so much when they have such unrealistic expectations.  He is an UNRESTRICTED free agent.  Y'know, those guys that desperate GMs give huge contracts to?

 

If we can get him for $2.5M that would be amazeballs.

I don't care what the terms are, get him and his nose signed!

2.5 sounds about right to me, 3 tops. You can tell Brunner loves playing here and this is a situation where we will get a little bit of a discount.

That's a shame.  It will be a bummer to have all the media jumping down his throat when USA wins gold.

USA!

The ticket this morning has been talking about a tweet Dreger sent out basically saying that if PIT goes out in the next couple games that they may put Malkin on the trade block. 26 years old, next year is final year on contract.

 

Theyre saying it would probably cost you 2-1st round picks, and a young forward and d-man (probably Nyquist and Smith realistically)

 

Would you do it?

 

At this point I think we could stand to part with Smith, especially if we add another top 2 dman through free agency not to mention our youth depth at D. Nyquist may be another story, but I think we could ultimately recover from that. The 2 - 1st rounders I think we could also do without regreting considering we could have Malkin for potentially 10 years if hes happy here.

 Or he could be here for next season, bail out for the biggest contract he could get and we're without Nyquist, Smith and 2 1st rounders for a Hossa like rental.

The color is not too bad but I love the older darker ones. Not a real fan of lighter green.

But that damn D and the starbuck shoulder logos just suck!! 

 

They should have gone back to these, IMO.
