brad Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Slightly risky but it depends on the situation. for one - Ryan parent blows so I'm glad he is gone either way. Being a cup contending/big market team helps as well. For instance I could see people being happy to have their rights traded to toronto. Similar situation as the flyers a few years ago, a big market team with a new and aggresive gm who isn't afraid to pay money. In those cases I don't think there is much risk. Of course it depends on who you give up. In this case losing parent doesn't matter for the flyers. Speaking of the leafs though, drabley - what are your thoughts of panuef. How do you think he finished the season? Thoughts on him being captain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 A co-worker just ran in to Pronger at a local shopping center. He still lives in Orange County. He could barely walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 well the flyers will have to move players still if they're going to sign hamhuis, he's going to want a decent paycheck, and aren;t the flyers on the cusp of the cap? if they sign him they might lose more than just parent to have him.

drabley Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I like Phaneuf and think he really needed a change of scenery after J-Bo went to Calgary. Though he hasn't exactly shown it lately, he's an elite level player and along with Kessel can cornerstone the rebuilding of the Leafs. Providing they bought into whatever longview Burke has, I expect to see them both in Blue and White for the next decade. He's the kind of guy that is an extension of Brian Burke in the locker room, and by that I don't mean that he's a "company man" or anything like that. He's vocal, boisterous, and will call you out when it's appropriate. He'll hold you accountable. This is exactly the kind of atmosphere Burke is trying to create around the Leafs; that the days of entitlement are over; and I think Phaneuf is a perfect choice for captain because of it. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that his captaincy was in mind when Burke was in the acquisition process. Completely different style of Captain than Sundin who was the quiet, shy, lead by example on the ice type. We'll see when the season starts.

mcm1610 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 The off-season is so painful for Buffalo fans because the rest of the league makes moves and the Sabres sit back and go, "yea, we have a good team as is," and sit with their thumbs up their ass.

thesupervillain Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Can't wait to buy my Phaneuf jersey with the C. I wonder when we'll be able to get the new jersey that they'll be wearing next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbypuckett Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 The Cap is going up 5%, about $2 million I think. CBA extended a year Horton traded to Boston for Wideman. Some other stuff too. The Winter Classic Logo is AWESOME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Plekanec was extended 6 years at 5 million per year. Think that's about a million too much for him. He's 27, he's basically at this peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Plekanec at 30m is terrible. 5 mill cap hit is too high, Montreal likes overpaid stiffs. I dunno what they are doing. It will be interesting to see horton on a good team and toughens up the bruins but WTF are they doing on defense? The need 2-3 guys there badly.

sgoodcore Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 hard to believe San Jose won't be resigning Nabokov They've been winning lately in spite of him more than because of him. Plus, this clears the way to re-sign Marleau in all likelihood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgoodcore Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 5 1/3 million in salary to Atlanta + Eager's right (so no qualifying offer need be made) 1.150 million coming back in the form of Reasoner's contract, which can be bought out to save the Hawks even more money.
