Devilsfan118 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Ok i understand but if you are trying to lock money for a solid D-men and Kovalchuk then don't overpay Henrik fvcking Talinder. 3.3m isn't exactly steep..how much would you have paid the guy? 300k less?

theamazingtiny Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I just wish we could have a star defenseman kinda of sick of the faceless wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Ok i understand but if you are trying to lock money for a solid D-men and Kovalchuk then don't overpay Henrik fvcking Talinder. Lou didn't overpay for Tallinder, this is what I'd consider market value for him. Solid signing. At least wait until Volchenkov is gone before you jump all over Lou for (what you think is) overpaying Tallinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS-SS Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 3.3m isn't exactly steep..how much would you have paid the guy? 300k less? Ok maybe I over reacted as I always do when Lou do one of his unexpected move but hey Martin leaved us for 500K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Tallinder-Urbom? If Tallinder is credited with helping Myers adjust to the league that may be one reason he was brought into the fold, since the Devils will be bringing in some younger guys on defense, I believe.

BlueSkirt Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 more moves have to happen and this reeks of giving tedenby/joseffson an older buddy we'll be talking about moving this contract over next summer. excellent point about not necessarily keeping him for 4 years. Two years & at this price sounds real good. let's hope you're right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) I wonder if this sets up a Kaberle trade involving Salvador. Just saying, White, Salvador, Tallinder and Corrente have similar styles and none are incredible on offense.

mikeford Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Andy Greene is still our best defenseman right now. Take a second and let that sink in. A guy who was healthy scratched to start last season is our best DMan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS-SS Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Can someone tell me what is our Cap hit after this signing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsFan7545 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) He is a Solid 2nd Pairing Dman, We need a 1st Pairing Dman, Hes solid on the PK , but is injury prone. If he stays healthy its a good signing by Lou, because the cap hit is low. Still We neec a 1st Pairing Dman, and Volchenkov, Kaberle, or Kubina is what we need Edited July 1, 2010 by DevsFan7545 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Facepainter Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Well, Lou obviously is looking to add some size to his defense. The guy's 6'3" 215ib. Anyone know if the guy uses his size, I really don't know much about him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubanjd305 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Past 3 seasons: Tallinder - 219 gms / 6G / 44A / 50 Pts. / +16 / 116 PIM / 2 PP Pts. / $3.375M per Mottau - 235 gms / 7G / 43A / 50 Pts. / +17 / 124 PIM / 9 PP Pts. / $0.765M per (last season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sickman Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 This won't be a bad signing if it's a piece of the overall puzzle. There has to be more rebuilding back there to even comment on what this means. This is what it seems like to me. We need offense on D, we all know that. Was Martin really providing that? Imo he hasn't lived up to that end of th bargain. In the wrost case, this move at least gives us some stability to replace Martin's defensive game and keep us competetive. That if anything was Martin's strong point - he is an axcellent defender. Now it seems a little bit redundant on the back end but more moves have to be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hystyk28 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hamhuis wants to play in Western Canada. Just when you thought the D siutuation was the worst it could be, Lou pulls this. The team is in serious trouble on the blueline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeford Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 TSNBobMcKenzie Hamhuis to Vancouver is done for $4.5M per year. Anyone still happy with Tallinder for a million less? Cuz I am sure as hell not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Great, our top three defensemen (White, Salvador, Tallinder) are eating up $10MM in cap space, and wouldn't crack the top two pairings on many other teams. When do we sign Malakhov and McGillis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
