why would ducks want defenders when they have Fowler, Sbisa, Lindholm, Theodore and Vatanen down the pipeline? Much thinner at center and at wings.
And they got an elite wing prospect in Silfverberg, a good C prospect in Noesen.

Just got back from a 9 day cruise. Crazy stuff.
I love what the Rangers have done, and I'm glad that Clowe wasn't resigned for that deal that the Devils gave him.
The team that I think has improved are the Islanders. I think that Clutterbuck, PMB and Regin are all gonna be very useful to them

I think a bubble team is more likely.
Especially if they lose Zidlicky because their defense is awful in providing ANY offense.
But it is comical watching them chest thump just because they were able to sign a washed up Clowe to a crazy deal while getting Ryder on good terms.

What do you guys think about going for Damien Brunner?
I'm iffy as to signing more players, considering we may want to see some youth injected into the lineup, but Brunner could easily put up 20+ goals. From what I've seen of him, he's not exactly physical, but he's pretty good with the puck and uses his finesse to work around the opposition. I wonder if he'd manage alright in a 2nd/3rd line winger role with extended PP time.
His drop-off after the first 10-12 games is concerning...but he could provide some much needed secondary scoring.

The only thing funnier than watching the devil fans screaming and hopping mad when someone (especially us) signs one of their free agents out from under their nose because they can't afford it is to watching them crow that they signed one of our guys to a big contract that we couldn't care less about.

True, but a bit besides my point. Clarkson and Val Filppula getting the contracts they did is absolutely ridiculous, even with the free agent mark up. GMs make moves just to make moves, and it shows how incompetent some of the guys running these multi-million dollar franchises really are.
So now Clowe is washed up? Why? Because you say so? He may not be worth the money he got but you can be sure Lamoriello did his due dilligence before signing him and not for nothing, Lamoriello forgot more about being a great GM than "The Teflon GM" will ever remember!
I'm sure Lou did his due diligence in signing Volchenkov and Talinder too. He's not immune to bad signings.
Also, Clowe is one concussion away from having scrambled eggs for brains. He's older and he's lost a step. Good player, but ignoring those two things is going to get you nowhere.
Sather trades a questionable price for Clowe = stupid old "Teflon GM"!!
Lou signs Clowe to bad contract = He's a better GM than the "Teflon GM" (!!) so I'm sure he did his homework!!
I don't like Sather as much as the next guy but jesus

13 years and still gets no blame for anything. The Teflon GM still needs to address scoring
Cloewes not washed up, just a long term injury risk like 25% of the other players in this league. Shocked he got that contract and if he went out of conf i would rout for the guy. Like him a lot and shame we couldnt hold on to him. Now he' s a devil and should be treated accordingly, slight regard, contempt, etc.

He get's plenty of blame, doesn't make that a nickname any less obnoxious.
The Devils' contract for Clowe seems to be absurd, but thats about to play out.
We already know that Sather's trade for Clowe is in the trash pail category.

It's hilarious that their fans will defend the signing to the death because it's Lou. I posted up on the main board that they had two very good signings (Olesz and Ryder) and one horrible one (Clowe) and a number of insane ones started freaking out.

WAAAAAAA!!!
Clowe is probably still good for 40 points over 82 games. It's just that $4.85M per seems a tad high for that amount of production.
Your math is sloppy because you're acting like all seasons are created equal. Use Games Played or PPG instead.
