Around the NHL (Part XIII): RIP Bob Suter

[No Fun Shogun]

What a steal.

For what it's worth, I also believe that this makes him a UFA in 2015, so could've been biting the bullet short term to get paid longterm.

Edit: scratch that, not a UFA next year. Just a bridge move to try to up his value, I suppose.

 

[Kurtosis]

Seems like these guys think that the cap is going to bump up quite a bit (or at least their agents do).

 

[Hawkaholic]

What a steal.

How is it a steal, exactly? It's a pretty fair contract on both sides I would say.

I should have added an emoticon or something to clarify that I wasn't really being serious.

Oh, ok. That explains it.

to be fair, Hayes' production over an entire year wouldn't have been that far off of what Bolland would have produced if he played the entire season....at over $5mil per season now!

 

[Sevanston]

Yeah, my concept of what's a steal still hasn't adjusted to a world where Dave Bolland and Brooks Orpik both make $5M for 5 years.

So true.

Frolik signed a one-year, $3.3 million contract extension with the Jets.

He's an unrestricted free agent after next season.

Someone wants to test the free agent market in 2015.

Bet he winds up with the Kladno Devils in 2015.

I have a hard time seeing Mueller being a fit in St. Louis.

Don't blame him. Winnipeg is a ****** city and it seems like the organization is a bit of a nightmare.

 

[Hawkaholic]

I read that Frolik discussed a 5 year contract with WPG, so maybe he doesn't mind it? Allan Walsh said they plan on talking Jan 1st for a long term contract.

Natives are getting restless with Cheveldayoff.

not a bad move. they have a lot of kids and some Euro players who Mueller will push for a spot...no risk high reward here. good for Mueller and Blues.

Calling out native people is a little uncalled for

Coming all the way from Winterpeg wearing a Laffs sweater to make this comment. Lirl.

 

[Cullksinikers]

I have said this before, but Chevy missed a big opportunity to make some moves at the deadline. He has held onto all the team's assets rather than welcoming change. He is a hesitant GM in a market that is not too desirable and requires shelling out more cash to obtain talent. I can see why people in the Peg are getting restless. All they did was get a bottom-six center who can play in the top-six in a pinch to counter the Hawks, Blues, Avs, and Wild. So brutal. All that team is, is the Thrashers in Canada. Bad team with fans who care.

As a team that tries to incorporate grit and skill, Mueller only brings the latter, and he hasn't been in the NHL in awhile. While I agree it is a low risk, high reward deal, I simply think it won't work out too well.

Jake Gardiner 5 years 4.05 aav, sets the market for Nick Leddy. They are essentially the same player.

 

[Bubba88]

they are not the same Player....
