Ignoring that one has zero to do with the other, you have absolutely no idea what Montreal offered Wisniewski if anything.

People act completely insane around here in the summer. And the fall. And the winter. And the spring.

As for Weber, pretty sure his QO had to be at least 920K, so start from there.

edit: Looks like it's already out that it's 1.7M over 2. Not sure how that works.

SnapVirus · 06-29-2011, 03:44 PM

850k / year

Stjonnypopo · 06-29-2011, 03:44 PM

We're happy and excited to have you back also, Weber.

Now show us what you're made of.

Strong username to post mood correlation.

I hope a lot of people are ready to apologize when LJV breaks out this season.

Goldthorpe · 06-29-2011, 03:50 PM

Whatever his salary, it's going to be too much, and a clear proof that Gauthier has lost it.

There's also a 4M$ difference.

we have way more to gain in giving ice time to Weber and Emelin rather than to Wiz and Hammer. if they flop, so be it. but if they develop well, we are the big winners.

+ Emelin is apparently a stud in KHL
+ Weber scored more in 3 games (& limited icetime) than Wiz in 6 games in the playoffs... lawl.

DekeLikeYouMeanIt · 06-29-2011, 03:52 PM

So how much is it?

Where were you during the playoffs? Just happened to forgot that Wiz fractured his hand in Game 2, right? Right. And Weber was used as a forward (mind you he looked great) and not as a Dman like he's supposed to be.

Natedawg · 06-29-2011, 03:53 PM

LJV due for huge breakout this year. Few successful playoff games last year will help propel him.

Ya, but he's going to say that's because the Molsons are cheap..

Great!! I love LJV

GoHomez · 06-29-2011, 03:55 PM

Excellent news!

flapshots · 06-29-2011, 03:55 PM

Good signing.
Hopefully he gets a real shot at the 2nd PP wave.

MTL-rules · 06-29-2011, 03:58 PM

Wow, cheap... He might not be as good as Wiz, but he's a much better $/production signing...

strutsboa · 06-29-2011, 03:59 PM

I've always liked him, hope he gets a real shot of taking a spot this year.

The Bruins killer!

WeThreeKings · 06-29-2011, 04:00 PM

There's no reason this guy can't become the player Wizniewski was for us. He might not be as tall or thick as Wiz.. but he can put on the pounds. He has great vision and can score, its there in the OHL and was there in the AHL, we've seen it in the playoffs.

Maxpac · 06-29-2011, 04:03 PM

I'll admit I'm not the biggest Pierre Gauthier supporter out there, but he has been a BEAST with contracts this off-season.
