2013 NHL Off-Season Thread: Bluefan's Own Personal Crying Game!

[Cutriss]

That is approximately $6,825,000 more than he would make as mayor of Boston.

Also nobody will complain when people put his name on signs.

Also also I think Tuukka speaks better English than Menino.

For what it's worth, I'm happy. Backs was really good last year when he wasn't injured

[Richybear]

Rask is a sucker! He should've signed that kind of deal in Philly. Then for Christmas, he'd get a buyout and be getting paid by 2 teams

lol Jets don't want to pay their players

[bluefan]

Can't see Postma and Tangradi getting much, if anything at all. Little, Bogo and Wheeler...must be asking for outrageous amounts to drag it on this far lol.

[Richybear]

>.>
inc 1yr contract ruling for Sam so he's the head of all the rumors yet again.

[vagus]

Alzner is a steal! Not sure who got better deal. Short term maybe St. Louis, long term maybe Edmonton.

Lol at the Rask contract. I can't laugh too my, Canucks (still) got Luongo. Would argue his contract isn't that bad, now.

Jeremy Jacobs and Peter chiarelli are idiots anyway

[Glowstickthetaru]

At present:

Flyers are 2mil over the cap with 25 roster slots
Bruins are 1.4mil over the cap with 22 roster slots
Sharks are 400k over the cap with 22 roster slots
Penguins are 126k under the cap with 21 roster slots

Keep in mind that both PHI and BOS have LTIR contracts, so PHI will go down ~5mil and BOS ~4mil

Tuukka Rask speaks better English than most everyone. Which is a shame, I would have liked his stupid broccoli head better if he talked like Frolik.

He kinda reminds me of Ville Valo of HIM, dude speaks like perfect English compared to a lot of other band people from the Scandinavian region.

[KoalaTrap]

Going to arbitration:


New York Rangers
Mats Zuccarello

Definitely getting concerned about the Rangers ability to get Zucs back. Around 3.3M left in cap room and Stepan and him left to resign. I hope they can figure it out.

[Ishido]

Marc Staal is never going to see properly again so his ~4m will be perpetually on LTIR

Solved!

[Palin]

We have more like $6.5 mil to sign both of them under the Summer cap, and then Cally and Hagelin will go on LTIR to start the season. So we have a few months into the season before having to move someone.

They also will likely waive and send down Asham/Powe, which saves them about $900k each. It's going to be tight, but they'll make it work.

Oh man, a HIM reference

Wait, whats wrong with Cally and Hagelin?
