Contract will be front loaded as all hell. I've read 50 mil in the first 5 years and 10 mil in the last 4.
I do that and then some for every Québec player in existence.his attempts to erect a statue of every Red Wings player in existence.
My goodness, what did i do? I was actually TEARING down players (IE Ericsson)That's fine, the Leafs only play well in the second half anyways.
Also I don't mind Eradd's comments, he sounds like a bandwagoner but he's no where near as bad as J-man and his attempts to erect a statue of every Red Wings player in existence.
What I heard happened was Colorado told him "don't talk to anyone else because we want you bad" so he didn't talk to anyone. Colorado then told him a few hours later "oops sorry we got Peter Budaj" and by then Phoenix got Mike Smith and Florida got Vokoun, so this was all that was left.Shocked at the price though... he either really wants to win and believes in the Caps due to the division rivalry or the other teams in the league are absolutely insane.
So you heard Colorado got Budaj and Florida got Vokoun which contributed to (some other?) Vokoun having no other choice but to accept a shitty deal with Washington?What I heard happened was Colorado told him "don't talk to anyone else because we want you bad" so he didn't talk to anyone. Colorado then told him a few hours later "oops sorry we got Peter Budaj" and by then Phoenix got Mike Smith and Florida got Vokoun, so this was all that was left.
No I'm just retarded and can't google which free agent went where lol.So you heard Colorado got Budaj and Florida got Vokoun which contributed to (some other?) Vokoun having no other choice but to accept a shitty deal with Washington?
If there was any truth to this story initially, it certainly got lost in the confusion.
-Colorado got Varlamov and Giguère
-Montreal got Budaj
-Florida got Théodore
As a Hurricanes fan, I have a bit of experience watching Commodore and White play.O btw, love the Commodore and White signings for the Wings. I know everyone hates Commodore's contract with the jackets and people are like "wtf white for rafalski," but I'd take the combo of Commodore and the ever improving White over last year's injured Rafalski anytime. Sacrifice some offense for a much more in your face, shot blocking, gritty style.
Honestly a Lidstrom, Ericsson, Kronwall, White, Commodore, Stuart line up of 6 defensemen is arguably the deepest in the league, with only the Canucks and maybe the Bruins (draft included) able to join the debate.
Also, a healthy Gagne - Richards - Brown line is SICK. Then front load with Penner - Kopitar - Williams as your line 1 (line 1a?) and bring up Clifford / Lewis / Parse to play with Stoll line 3?
Well whatever they do, they have a ton of nice options. As a devil's fan, I'm slightly jealous :X
