GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Part II - Awful deals galore! (Clowe to NJ)

[NYR Viper]

Funny, I actually think Columbus might actually have a better team, everywhere other than in net..

Agree. They are on the rise.

 

[0ddManRush]

Clarke MacArthur close to signing with Ottawa per McKenzie.

 

[Janerixon]

Clowe to devils for 5 year... wow terrible signing!!! That was a Satheresque contract Lou just dished out.

 

[nyr2k2]

Wow, that's too much money and too many years for Clowe. Bullet dodged there...

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

i want Rangers to sign Ryan Jones. he would be a upgrade on the 3rd and 4th line

 

[New York RKY]

Thank you Lou!! Didn't want Clowe back and that contract is horrendous.

 

[NYR Viper]

Wow, that's too much money and too many years for Clowe. Bullet dodged there...

Totally agree, and I wanted him back. But not at those terms

 

[Doctyl]

i cant believe lou did that. wow

 

[NYR Viper]

i want Rangers to sign Ryan Jones. he would be a upgrade on the 3rd and 4th line

He would be a good depth signing.

 

[nyr2k2]

I liked Clowe and would have taken him for another two years, three max. Not at that money though. And DEFINITELY not at five years. ****...

Exactly. 3 years ~3.5 million

 

[Hire Sather]

Wouldn't pay Clowe that.

Its the Devils, though. They'll get lucky.

 

[Kershaw]

I'm shocked it wasn't Sather who gave that contract, did we suddenly switch GMs with the Devils?

I wouldn't take Clowe for free.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

He would be a good depth signing.

agreed only 29 years old..

 

[Vickers8]

Lou must be drunk

 

[SA16]

Clarkson going to get ridiculously overpaid.

 

[NYR2007]

Clowe on TSN said he really enjoyed playing in NY but because of their cap issues he couldn't resign

 

[NikC]

Wow, that's too much money and too many years for Clowe. Bullet dodged there...

wow. incredibly bad deal. so glad it wasn't us.

this dude wanted payday from day 1 it seems. no 1-2 yr deal to prove himself...

 

[Jackpot]

Poor Rangers, sad when Clowe calls out their cap issues on network television. .

Hockey Central ‏@SNHockeyCentral 31s
Rob Scuderi signs with Pittsburgh Penguins.

****.........

Edit:

Stephen Whyno ‏@SWhyno 42s
#Penguins announce they've signed Rob Scuderi to 4-year deal worth $3.375M per.

That's a lot of money though

 

[Kershaw]

As per TSN, Scuderi 13.5m for 4 yrs in Pittsburgh

 

[LetterJ]

I thought front loaded contracts were no longer allowed:

Nathan Horton's deal with CBJ is 7 years, $37.1 ($5.3 AAV) but he gets $30M in first 5 years.

 

[0ddManRush]

Scuderi gets $3.375 million for four years with Pens.

 

[NYR Viper]

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle 27s
Sharks re-sign Scott Hannan.

He was good there

this lockout accomplished nothing....
