Backes to Boston for 1 year?????

I wish we could have done that

 

[DaveG]

Backes to Boston on a 1 year deal... second real surprise of the day

 

[Wolfpuck]

GMRF was spot on when he called this a scary day. I'm glad we're playing it cool right now.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Kypreos just said it.

Okey, watching TSN.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Seems very odd for Backes. Seems like what you do when you want to win, and Bruins don't seem that good. Unless they gave him all the money.

 

[Moosetache]

I would have been ok with Backes for 1 year at like 9 mil.

you know...bc its ONLY ONE YEAR

 

[Hockeywatching]

McKenzie says scratch the one year. terms TBA

 

[DaleCooper]

Liles also back to Boston.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Liles back to Boston on a one-year deal, per Bob.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Contracts are crazy so far, and I'm glad we're staying out of it. But there are some teams around us getting better even if they are hurting themselves long term. But the more this stuff happens, the better options Ronnie will get I suppose.

 

[TheOllieC]

6m x 5 for Backes

 

[Novacane]

Backes is 5 X 6

Okposo for 7 years in Buf @ 6M

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Hahahahahhaa okey

 

[Wolfpuck]

Backes deal is for 5 years @ 6 per

 

[A Star is Burns]

That makes significantly more sense.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

5 years?

 

[CandyCanes]

Who wants to take bets that Frans Nielsen will get bought out of his contract come year 4 or 5 lol.

 

[DaveG]

Hahahaha ok that makes a LOT more sense

Liles to Boston for 1 year sucks though, one of the few guys I would have liked to bring in even if it was bringing him back.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

This thread is living up to its title.

 

[TheOllieC]

Okposo signing good for Sabres. 6m x 7.

 

[Penaltykiller17]

Boom Boom Aho, I concede. These are some god awful deals going around already.

 

[GoldiFox]

Okposo 7 years x $6 million.

I would have given him that deal.

 

[sheriff bart]

 

[CandyCanes]

I think the 7 years @6m per for Okposo is slightly reasonable due to him being only 28.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Okposo 7 years x $6 million.

I would have given him that deal.

And he likely would have chosen them over us I would think
