Not to harp on anyone, but outside of Stevens and Brodeur, is there any other pending UFA that Lou signed to deals before July 1st? I am curious.

MadDog2020 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC: Rumbling: FLA preparing eight-year, $60M-ish extension for Aaron Ekblad. He can sign any time after July 1. Team and agent decline comment. Cue SD bringing up Zach leaving again. Let's not go there... I think we all know the CBA is different now than when Zach signed his deal.

MadDog2020 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Didn't Zajac get done pretty quickly? Yeah Zajac didn't get to July 1. He signed before the lockout season started in January that year... Under the new CBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Yzerman's offer to Stamkos is final, 8.5m over 8 years. So he'll likely walk knowing now that he's having 11m and 12m per year on the table somewhere else. Which.... well again, is a big fvck up on his part to let it go to that point without protecting him while he could, he gambled and it blew in his face. Just like you know... another situation we all talked about previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"hey man, that girl was checking you out all night but left the bar with a different guy.... Why didn't you lock her up sooner? LIKE THE DEVILS WITH PARISE?" "God I'm starving, I should have thought about this and ordered a pizza sooner, now it's closed. LIKE THE DEVILS WITH PARISE." "Ugh. I knew I needed to fill up my tires. Now I have a flat on the turnpike. If only I had filled my tires last week instead of waiting until the last minute. LIKE THE DEVILS WITH PARISE." I don't but it would be fair in those cases really lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This after those schmucks somehow are able to dump Nash and Girardi on some moron GM who still thinks it's 2011. It's almost too predictable.

CarpathianForest Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Holik, Redden, Gomez etc. Why not? NYR has a wonderful track record of giving out big contracts to players who eventually bottom out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Disregard the previous post - weird bug through my phone. Can't edit/delete it. Anyway - how done is Vanek? Any interest in bringing him in on a bargain deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zubie#8 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Wouldn't Stamkos net more money on a 8.5 million dollar contract due to the tax situation in Florida than rather say on a 10 million contract in NY or Detroit?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This article has some good information on how much Stamkos will take home on various deals (8 years in TB @ 8.5 vs 7 in NY @ 10). Obviously he'd have much higher endorsement income in a place like Toronto, but it's a good resource that captures the tax situations. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/hockey/lightning/inside-the-money-matters-for-steven-stamkos/2262766 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Preds re-sign Forsberg for 6 years, 6 million per. Seems like a steal but then again, most of the deals Poile has signed are pretty good. It's when Holmgren steps in and signs his contracts when he gets in trouble. Seriously, they have Josi, Ekholm and Ellis signed for the next 3 seasons for a combined 10.25 million. That's insane. They're also going to get 8 million of space next summer when the Fisher and Ribero deals are up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
