Don't know anything about him. I remember the name but all I did was see his high PIMs.

Whitney with the HUGE overpayment. Dallas desperate?

For sure but I don't remember him doing much in the playoffs.

Dumb for both sides IMO. Why did Whitney choose Dallas ? He doesn't want to win another Cup before retiring ?

ShaneB · (07-01-2012, 05:52 PM)

Whitney is one of the most underrated players in the league. Definite huge loss for Phoenix, and odd for him to go to Dallas as well I guess given he could've went to numerous places.

konopka and clutterbuck on the same team is gonna be great

He doesn't have to worry about that in Dallas.

In all seriousness, I'm glad with the Monster signing, heck anything is an upgrade to Conklin as backup, so overall it actually is a really good signing and he seems really excited to come here.

Close to retirement. Who could blame him for taking $9M this late in his career?

Rafa=FedKilla · (07-01-2012, 05:54 PM)

You can afford to overpay a brah or two when you are at the cap floor.

I doubt Dallas was the only team willing to give him millions. Why not take "only" $8M over 2 years and have a chance to win something (at least make the playoffs).

Fei · (07-01-2012, 05:56 PM)

I know this is still up in the air with the CBA, but I just saw the cap floor is $54.2M. Only 11 teams currently meet that. :lol

9 million reasons why.

Fuck the Cup when you can get your balls cupped everyday with that cash.

Syph Medwes · (07-01-2012, 05:56 PM)

Guys, I'm scared. I have a bad feeling about Holmgren doing something stupid.
Just resign Jags and then shut the phones down!

I doubt Jagr will resign with the flyers. Rumor was if he did that lavy wanted to bury him on the third line. I doubt Jagr will go for that.

Plinko · (07-01-2012, 05:58 PM)

So glad Detroit's not going to overpay for Parise. That's outrageous money.

Bring in Semin.

Kifimbo · (07-01-2012, 05:58 PM)

Fuck, the TSN stream switch to the Euro game.

Alucard · (07-01-2012, 05:59 PM)

Chip Alexander ‏@ice_chip

Hearing if Canes' free-agent bid for Parise fails, will further pursue trade for Nash. Apparently offer for Nash has been made.

Jagr will go wherever he gets the most money. Just like he did last year.

Yeah. I guess it depends on whether Holmgren and Laviolette are on the same page there. I'm just saying Jagr's going to chase the money like most of the older players who already have a Cup.

I'd rather pay for Parise. Semin is a bitch.

Brad Boyes to the Islanders. 1 year 1 million.

ZeroGravity · (07-01-2012, 06:03 PM)

Islanders sign Brad Boyes (1 year, 1 million).

I was hoping to see him back in Chicago so he and Sharp could play practical jokes on Toews some more. :lol

Don't care. I'll take a team like that until the CBA puts a limit on these ludicrous contracts.
