Devils731 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 That's just as good as getting Sundin so they're probably done now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils26 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Are you sure it's 1.5 mil per year, and not total? If it is 1.5 per, I guess it makes the Clarkson signing seem pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brodeurrocks Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Montreal acquires a genuine heavyweight. I'm a little surprised that the Penguins let him go. I thought they might want to have a policeman to protect the young studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 The penguins have lost a lot of character guys off their team, they will look like a very different team next year, and im pleased they have done so. Laraque, Ruutu,Roberts,Malone and Hall are all guys that have big character for that club. It will be interesting to see if this years supporting cast are as effective as last years.

Everyone said the same thing when Hossa was traded for Colby Armstrong and Erik Christensen and the Pens ended up in the finals so who knows.

Yeah but thioes guys were pretty young even if the did bring character. Ruutu, Laraque and Roberts reall did get under other teams skin a lot, it was a one to sucker punch, bag loads of skill, but tough at the same time. IMO the penguins are going to be quite soft this year, and hopefully our big team can take advantage of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxchaznjxx Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 i don't know how much he'll play, but i believe the pens signed godard, so they'll have no problem protecting the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godard compared to Ruutu Laraque and Roberts is a lot less protection IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threestars Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 fvck! Now kicking their arse is now going to take a little bit more actual kicking (well....technically punching...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxchaznjxx Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Godard compared to Ruutu Laraque and Roberts is a lot less protection IMO. i didn't say he was as talented, i just said he can offer protection if needed. the devils don't have anyone that could throw down with him.

Deek_1969 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Good.....he actually scored a few against us this last year. I really liked the guy so it was hard to hate him when he was in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
