Satans Hockey Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 hes not worth 4.25 million for the first year(im curious to see how much they are paying him over the next 2 years) and tsn.ca is slacking a bit because sportsnet has been getting things first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Madden is not making 3.86...he's making less than that I believe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope. 3.86 is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Would you rather have Holik at 4.25 or Madden at 3.86? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Madden ≤ $3.86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty One Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Flyers have a 1:00 press conference called. Clarke has signed 3 players. Derrian Hatcher, Mike Rathje and Chris Therrian. With the Flyers out of the Niedermayer sweepstakes this gives us a better chance to resign him. Too bad Scott wont take a "Leetch" approach to FA and not sign with any rivals. Rangers are knocking on his door and we all know how Dolan likes to throw money around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweet Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Would you rather have Holik at 4.25 or Madden at 3.86? I'd take Madden at $4.25 over Holik at $0 Once a traitor, always a traitor. Our dignity is not for sale. He's a lockeroom menace... and in the new league, a big 35 year old center who skates poorly and who's best play is obstruction, will not be a premier player. I'm glad we have a GM who feels that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devils102 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...802_115843_5072 An article about whos interested in Niedermayer. Sounds like were still in it. Although I'm not sure where Sportsnet keeps getting all this stuff from because there hasn't been anything on tsn since the aucoin deal. I have a feeling Sportsnet may be jumping the gun abit on some of these deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sundstrom Ghost Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 That is a great signing by Atlanta, they needed someone like Bobby up front to help with their kids. He will flourish there. Atlanta and Columbus two of the best young teams coming up, watch them both this year. For anyone who does not think Aucion is worth the money he signed for, you did not watch him play, he and Kenny Johnson basically played every minute of the game for the Isles, he was in the top 5 d the last year, no doubt about it. I don't know why he signed with Chicago though, unless they are going to try and win for once, but maybe they promised him that. If Modano goes to Boston, does that mean they are more likely to deal Thorton? I heard their offer to him was not to his liking, hummmm. I am worried about Anaheim taking Scotty, that's what the TSN guys said the other day, I think now, that is the only team I am really worried about, well, Calgary too. I hope whoever said Vancouver is not going to be able to sign him is right, if not, then add them to the top of the list. If Burke will do it, I trade Friesen yesterday for Rob, do it Lou, do it now!!!!!!! I am so happy Lou drafted my ghost's son, I did not even know he was my ghosts son until today, but now he is one of my favorite Devils, and you know he will become a player, you just know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueNJ97 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Madden is not making 3.86...he's making less than that I believe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope. 3.86 is correct <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Blueskirt, I've heard an interview with Madden where he says it's not. Because of certain things in the contract, like deferred $$, which doesn't count against the cap, and team bonuses, which were declared invalid by this CBA, he said the amount that was actually going against the cap was $2.4 million. Maybe he's wrong. But I'm just saying that there is a discrepancy, reported by the player himself. This is why I said in another thread that we really have incomplete information about what the cap number currently IS for the Devils, because we have no idea how contracts are structured and, in fact, most players are no longer eligible for even individual bonuses. Team bonuses are certainly gone. And who knows whether individual bonuses were stricken from EXISTING contracts for non-eligible players with this CBA. If so, everything we see on those salary charts may be way over-inflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) Bobby Clarke just said in his press conference he is done with the FA market. He also confirmed the Markov trade for a third rounder. Hatcher, Sim and Rathje and Therien all signed.

insanity_gallops Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Well I thought I read somewhere that he had $6.5 million to spend, and I imagine signing those 4 players pretty much kicked that amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
