Confirmed Buy-Out [CAR] Patrick Marleau

[Roboturner913]

They better hit on the pick

Not really. If they miss on this pick, but hit with their other first round pick, it's still worth it.

Yikes Carolina

Trying to provoke drama...

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Yea, but if that was the plan from the beginning that it was a **** plan. This was a horrible signing that cost us a 1st round pick to get rid of. This was not the plan.

Suit yourself? What seemed obvious played out.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

League minimum might be an overpayment at this point, guy is done.

He just left the Leafs.

Of course he's done...

 

[Suntouchable13]

Sure, Leafs planned on giving up a 1st round pick to get rid of him in year 3.

 

[Martin Skoula]

He just left the Leafs.

Must be those dumb Leafs fans, can't be the fact that he's objectively an offensive black hole by just about any metric you choose. Most of us have wanted him off the ice since January.

Said no one?

Yikes Carolina

The real yikes is that Toronto signed the contract and had to give up actual value for someone else to buy him out.

Nothing yikes about this from Carolina's perspective. What are you even talking about?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Always want what they can't have.

 

[Deuce Awesome]

42 goals in two seasons for a first round pick is not too shabby at all.

Not to mention he was brought in to mentor the young guns so we didn't have a bunch of 19 year olds stepping a little too high.

I was never a Marleau fan in the slightest but understood the signing from day 1. It sucks to give up a first but it was well worth it.

Plus that first allows them to sign two 20 goal rookies.

And yet they were so happy 2 years ago...

It goes round and round and round.

"We got Burke !"

"Burkey is gone "

"We got Lou !"

"Lou was terrible "

"We got Babcock !"

They're coming for you Babcock.

"Egocock and his good ol'pros "

The good thing is you get to sit here and feel morally superior over contradictions between strangers on the internet, truly a big day in beauchamp history.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Shannaplan coming along swimmingly

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

That seems like a pointless question to ask given he's already stated on numerous occasions that he wants to play and since he's going to get paid at least 4 million for whatever he ends up doing this season, I think he'll be alright with the money he brings in. lol

Sorry - I don't follow his every statement. Any team that pays him 4 mil deserves what it gets.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Someone is seriously asking this?

Somebody is seriously suggesting this - except noe he says 4 mil, which is just a bit over league minimum. lol.

I want him back!

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Believe it or not there are a lot of players that are more interested in winning a cup than making more money at this stage of their career. Also, it is very hard for a lot of players to accept retirement after playing in the NHL for 20 years. As far as the abuse his body will take, playing another season is a lot less concerning when it comes to Marleau considering how healthy he has been his whole career. Its not like he has had multiple concussions or knee surgery.

True - but he needs to realize that he isn't a kid of 30 any more.

 

[Leaf Fans]

3 mill from Carolina +the 800,000 and change + whatever he signs for would put him over 4 mill for the year.

Or its my opinion

[Horse McHindu]

$6.25m for this season since it's a 35+ contract

Many posters on HF/Canucks have been praising Carolina for their savvy business sense. :|

 

[Baby Punisher]

Watch him wind up on The Rangers, or one of the other local teams.

 

[WeDislikeEich]

As expected.

Savvy move by Carolina. They got a 1st and also get a $6.5M cap hit this year for $3-4M in real dollars, which is useful for a budget team that, depending on what Aho signs for, may have to ensure they stay above the cap floor if they want to ship out more salary (like Faulk, for example).

Isnt he SJ or bust?
