GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2012 - ALL NON-RANGER UFA TALK AND SIGNINGS HERE!

[Clowes Line]

NYR sign Asham for two years at 1 million a year.

[The Perfect Paradox]

Andrew Gross @AGrossRecord
now
If the #NYR are bringing in Arron Asham, it likely means they're not bringing back Brandon Prust.

2years, 2M.

[SupersonicMonkey*]

I HATE Asham...****.

[GregSirico]

Guess we needed someone who can fight?

[beastly115]

LOL I knew we'd get Asham.

[Blueshirt Believer]

Yeah, not a fan of Asham. Guy can't play. If your getting rid of Rupp then whatever, fine. But this is a meh move.

Like the price though.

Hygiene wise he looks pretty dirty at all times lol.

Probably gets a Rupp deal.

[azrok22]

Aasham at $1m per year for 2 years > Prust at $2m+ longer term, imo.

[Jim Morrison]

Great deal.

[beastly115]

Guess that means Prust is donzo in NY.

2 million is for 2 years, so only 1 per year.

[Machinehead]

2 mil total? Cause I heard 2 mil each. Total would be much better.

The only thing I'm really upset about is not getting Whitney.

That's why I am pissed, I wanted him, so calm dwn everyone else jeez.....

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie

2 x $1.1M for Tanner Glass with PIT. Done deal.

Well that's just salt in the wound. I would've much preferred that deal.

Because Prust wanted 2.2M/year, and this signing is for 1M/year, no?

Because he is getting 1 million a year....Prust wanted 2.2 million a year...

[TomLaidlaw]

Why is there such anger towards Asham? 2 Years 1 mill per isn't that bad. Asham is one of the best middleweights in the league.

You hit the nail on th head with that one!

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Theres the **** 4th line signing everyone was expecting. An annual summer rite for Sather.

Now hopefully they can move onto something that matters.

[Clowes Line]

Asham better not pull any cheap **** like he did against Philadelphia with the cross check to the face and the punch in the back of the head. He better not give this team a bad name.

Because as a hockey player he sucks

[Machinehead]

Ok they changed it now to 2 million total. I originally heard 2 a year. Now I'm happy with the singing

[z1co80]

Don't like Asham but can't say the contract is bad.
