i guess bob was affraid with all this money give to briere

:)

Let's the season start!!

:yo:

best news i've heard all weekend!

The terms of the deal werent disclosed...

Hurry up tsn!!

And he's a ufa after this season right?

my guess is he got something like $2.2. only wish he would have signed a 3 year deal....

Good to have him signed, but I'll reserve judgment till we see how much.

Hopefully this wasn't a panic signing (and thus too much money) based on the early arbitration results.

Good. The Habs need him.

I'm curious to see for how much it is.

No, still RFA. I think the year after he would be UFA.

Jesus you guys are fast... but another 1 year contract?

Hmmm I'm not sure...I don't think so...


Seems to me if he would of gotten this via arbitration, then next year he would be elligible for UFA status

my guess is 2.4M

I was hoping for a two to three year term, but good news anyway. Curious as to how much he's signed for. :yo: :D That's everybody signed now. Great for us.

My guess is pi

3.14 mil :dunce:


But in all seriousness, 2.25

You wonder why we go through this every year?

Ryder was the best player in Hamilton in 03-04 so we sign him for 1 year.
Runner up for rookie of the year in 04-05, so we he gets a 1 year contract.
Scores 30 to lead the Habs in a season that saw him play half the year injured. So he gets 1 year.

And there are guys on this site that say its time to trade him cause he is always asking for too much. Wake up people... he is looking for a 3 year contract, not neccessarly more money. Why does the Habs continue to do this to him? Sad to say but I can't see him being a Hab for much longer.

And people wonder why nobody wants to play here.

If it was merely a matter of a half a million dollars, I'm glad Bob just got it done before arbitration, which always involves an ugly clash of egos and a bitter aftertaste.

Now Ryder has another full year to prove to the Habs that he's a leader of the franchise who deserves to be locked up long term.

I would say 2.5M for Ryder.

Yea, but what if "only" scores 30 next season?
Only sign him to a 1 year deal again, to see if it was just a one year thing?

Maybe it's Ryder who wants 1year deals because he know he can do better.

Ryder has been looking for a muli-year contract the last couple of seasons.

link?

It's very common for teams to only sign 1 year deals until the year before UFA status, thus allowign the closest possible estimation to a players value over the long term

2.3-2.4m

I think you guys might be guessing a little low for Ryders contract. I think it will be north of 2.5 million.

i also think it's around the $2.5M mark
