Confirmed with Link: Blackhawks Re-Sign Marcus Kruger (2 years / 1.325 AAV)

Yeah but...

I'd love to live in a world where I could just say **** without context. Everything would be so much easier. I could be like you, and focus on straight stats.

Seriously, I can see how you would have made a great coach. I see why people in meaningful positions on NHL teams, "know who you are". It's so clear to me now.

Marcus Kruger clearly is history's greatest monster.

 

[Kurtosis]

I cannot recall a 4th line center being as big of a lightning rod for controversy as Marcus Kruger is. It's pretty weird.

Naw! That was Viktor Stalberg and Coach Q slayed that beast!

NHLPA is listing his salary @ 1.25 mil for 13-14.

I'm more curious who will be the third line right winger and fourth line right winger next season for the Chicago Blackhawks:

Hayes (Jimmy)
Morin
Smith

One will most likely be sent back to Rockford.

What about for the following season?

Never really meant "meaningful" unless we consider a couple of young men who will play next year meaningful. Let's just leave it at that.

Slow your roll son, I've got Winwell helmets older than you.

More to do with a lack of targets. Everybody had a decent playoffs and is firmly in their roles.

Err.. clearly you do live in that world (and it appears to be a lonely one).

I played hockey with Peter Holland growing up. My impact on the game's as great as yours.

Winner winner, chicken dinner?

If it is 1.25M for Kruger, than that's a steal of a contract for the Hawks over the next 2 years. Coupled with Roszival and Handzus signing cheap deals, and this has been a very good off-season for Bo&co.

that's funny. i would have guessed you were at least 10 years older than that

If he would have called you in his draft year to work on a few things you would be absolutely correct.

Nice brush with greatness though.

btw, I had Kruger pegged for 1.2 quite a while ago. Sorry others don't value him the same as you and Bubba.

Errmahgerrd. Could you help me with a few things? I gotta impress the scouts at my rec league this winter. PLEASE!

And? Last I checked, it's the GMs goal to get everyone signed for as cheap as possible. They were able to do that with Kruger. That doesn't mean they don't value him.

 

[Cullksinikers]

$1.325M AAV!

Man, Stan rules.

 

[HockeySauce]

Lol. Internet forums can be deceiving.. both ways. I take that as a compliment though. Merci.

 

[Cullksinikers]

CapGeek has the details on their site now. That's a great deal.

 

[RedBaronIndian]

Caphit is 1.325 Million which is a great deal

 

[Cullksinikers]

I also love that he's a RFA again when the deal expires.

Another one of those nasty "yeah buts". Good luck in rec league, 99% of all that lace 'em up wind up there. It's still the greatest game, regardless of competitive level.

The scouts are onto the next greatest thing by now.

Of course.

 

[Sevanston]

1.325M for two years, and he's still an RFA afterwards.

And people seriously thought Kruger was going to get overpaid

 

[Judrix]

Stan is the man.
