DevilinLA Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 lol at nashville for trying to sign Weber for one year at $4.75m....i mean... COME ON ! You go in low in arbitration to keep the cap figure down. I'm sure Poille had no delusions about it coming ever close to that. Simple negotiation tactic.

caron14 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Offseason review via emoticons signed-eric boulton , cam janssen , stephan vellieux ,adam larsson to an extremely cap friendly contract drafted-adam larsson , a couple of nice late picks resigned-zach parise , mark fraser ,andy greene ,johan hedberg traded-brian rolston recieved-trent hunter boughtout-colin white , trent hunter Only spots I was really disappointed with were the not being able to lockup Parise longterm, buying out White, and buying out Hunter when we just could of sent him to the minors to cover his cap hit. Maybe Lou overpaid for Greene but it was all made up with the amazing Larsson contract and Rolston trade. Two things this summer are really leading people to believe Lou is doing a bad job when he has had a pretty good offseason. Sure he didn't sign any big name free agents but he plugged some holes up on defense, drafted a future star on defense, got rid of a bloated contract, added some much needed toughness, and resigned a very reliable backup. Wow this is gold man! I just love it Edited August 2, 2011 by caron14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheprodigy Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 You go in low in arbitration to keep the cap figure down. I'm sure Poille had no delusions about it coming ever close to that. Simple negotiation tactic. Exactly. And Weber is doing the same, asking for $8.5, which is way too much. Makes sense that both sides were stretching as far either way as possible and the ruling will land somewhere in the middle. Seeing the way this has gone though makes me happy that we didn't have to go through this with Parise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt be too thrilled to be Sutter and Rinne right now seeing that. Probably that he's trying to keep the cap hit low so he can hope to resign all 3 guys... but im pretty sure Weber is gone sometime in the next 2 years. i also think 8.5m is crazy... but its fair... its a one year deal, chara is making 8.5 and Erhoff is making 10m this season. a fair "cap hit" for a long term deal for Weber would be from 6.5 to 7 if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpathianForest Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 lol cmon now... was it really necessary ? Kind of. I watched a few NSH games last season and I was wondering what was so hot about this Sutter guy. I've never seen him play yet he made an impact. It's just getting the names right. How would you like it if Believe in Brodeur kept referring to Parise as Parsie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BelieveinBrodeur Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Mistake NSH made was losing Ward IMO. They need Weber but other big names like Rhinne, Suter and Legwand. Hard to keep all of them I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to keep all of them I would think. Ward's a nice player but I wouldn't give Ward that contract (4 years/12 million). It was one of the more ridiculous ones given this past offseason.

aylbert Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 White signs with San Jose for 1yr, 1mm... damn low. I think he's worth more than that... I guess timing being let go August 2nd, rather than being there for July 1? Or do you think he took a discount to play with the Sharks?

I guess timing being let go August 2nd, rather than being there for July 1? Or do you think he took a discount to play with the Sharks? Maybe both. He's getting 2 million from the Devils, so I guess he still gets his 3 million this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundstrom Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I though they couldn't sign him to an extension beginning next season until 1/1/2012? assuming you're referring to Sharp, that rule is only in place after an arbitration hearing.

Triumph Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 assuming you're referring to Sharp, that rule is only in place after an arbitration hearing. it's only in place after a 1 year contract. during a multi-year contract, you're free to negotiate an extension after july 1 of the final year of the contract.
