Not really. It seems common accord that after next season Gomez's contract becomes somewhat more appealing either for us to buy him out or again to dump him in the hands of the cellar caped team of that time. Instant cap space.

He is overhyped. A very good player but not a franchise player who can lead a team to the Cup.

Exactly. All sizzle, no steak and a long history of injuries = no thanks.

People here think EVERY UFA is a must have. It's ridiculous.

When you see Cammy checked hard into the boards and injured with no one standing up for him.

When you see Pacioretty's neck broken and no one standing up for him.

When you see Price slashed and shoved and no one standing up for him.

You are correct. We dont need to make this team tougher.

I am sure that the above mentioned players really didnt mind the abuse.

That's not how the cap is calculated anymore. It's actually a much higher cap hit then that. Also, 10 years for Richards!? Are you ****img kidding me?!

nhlupdate Brennan Klak
Flyers sign Max Talbot

Another good value contract for the Yotes. IMO Phoenix has lapped the competition today. The Nordiques might have a good team in their first season.

Dirty Danglez · 07-01-2011, 01:31 PM

Huge twitter duel between Marinaro and Eric Engels... good stuff!

also Talbot to philly for 5 years

Tough players are always going to stand up for their teammates.

Pierre Gauthier should show up at Brad Richards meeting place with an army of beautiful Montreal girls on his arm, throw a contract onto the table and walk out.

What about? I am not following them.

Dwight · 07-01-2011, 01:32 PM

Talbot 5 years with the Flyers?

Ohohohohoho no thanks

**Whitesnake** · 07-01-2011, 01:32 PM

Okay enough PG....Michael Rupp for 10 years....

crazyd · 07-01-2011, 01:32 PM

Jan Hejda's deal with Colorado is 4 years x $3.25M per season. >> Mckenzie

This is exactly what I wanted. Depth and assurance in case Markov injures himself again.

And on the plus side, he hits and blocks shots. Geezz we don't want that do we...

I can't believe people really still believe in the myth of the enforcer as deterrent for other teams' cheapshots.

Gary320 · 07-01-2011, 01:32 PM

Talbot to Flyers. 5 years. What a piss off.

Andy · 07-01-2011, 01:32 PM

LMFAO @ the Flyers.

5 years for Talbot? Are you ****ing kidding me.

These Gms are ****ing insane

Pretty sure the contract would read : TROLOLOLOL.
