Free Agency Predictions

You know what hurts the capped teams, the salary floor. Bad teams WAY overpay lesser guys just to get over the floor. Hurts the financial scale.

 

I didn't think they could afford him but without getting a top center i guess thats where the money is going. Now they need the best 3rd/4th liner they can afford.

 

Ryan Miller to VAN, interesting signing there. Thought he'd want to go to a contender.

 

2 worst contracts today so far:

1. Pouliot 4/20 - Edmonton GM should be shot
2. Bolland 5/27.5 - Maybe they are trying to get above the floor but that is a horrendous contract

 

Not really surprised, his wife is an actress in LA I think he wanted to play on west coast and the Calif teams don't need goalies

I think its a good signing for 3 years but Vancouver should be trying to bottom out and rebuild. Hard to do in crazy hockey cities

 

I guess Miller didn't have many options to go play there. Amazing how much they f'd up their goalie situation in Vancouver.

Agreed Dis. Both may have to do with the salary floor. Both head scratchers to me. Pouliot especially.

 

UFA's man...have to love it.

 

Wonder if they can still fit Vrbata at 4+? Maybe Kulemin.

 

Well, we need some forwards...LOL.

 

Vanek 3 years at 6.5 per with the Wild (that was expected). Don't love it.

Hiller to the Flames 2 years at 4.5 per. Like that one. Like what the Flames have done with Hiller and Raymond.

 

Havlat to NJ 1.5 for one year.

Moulson 5 years 5 mill per to the Sabres.

 

Yeah, I agree on Havlat. Low risk at that #.

 

Iginla to Colorado

 

Iggy got 3/16m

Wow

 

16 mill for 3 years I think.

 

3 years is a lot, but he is still good and tough. That team is built to do stuff if Varlamov holds up in goal.

 

moulson isn't a bad deal, the guy flat out scores
