Confirmed with Link: Matt Irwin re-signed (2 years, $2M total = $1M cap hit per year)

[bigwillie]

This is Doug Wilson's apology to Shark fans for trading for Raffi Torres. This is a ****ing awesome deal.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

Matt Irwin, what a class act. Knows he's Norris caliber, yet takes only a mil a year to help the team with their cap situation.

 

[slocal]

Wow, what a deal!

This is Doug Wilson's apology to Shark fans for trading for Raffi Torres. This is a ****ing awesome deal.

You're right. Now we have more money to re-sign Torres for about $2.5 million.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Irwin will receive $900,000 in the first year of the deal in 2013-14, and $1.1 million in 2014-15.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

So that means Braun/Irwin/Demers will rotate being the 7th man? Depth is good but I kind of want to see all three with regular play time. Then again, Boyle only has one year left.

 

[19sharks19]

Great news

 

[rideaucrusher21]

Thought he would test the UFA market. Nice signing!

 

[DrFeelgood]

This pleases me

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Now re-sign Demers and I can rest easy about our Blue line.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

Assuming they are re-signing everyone, it'll be a tight fit next year but still doable.

That's actually not a half-bad lineup. Now if we could only amnesty Burish...

 

[Brent Burns]

It's not a great deal. Irwin has been good but nothing to warrant a larger deal at all. It's a fair deal for both sides. If he has some upside he will get PAID next contract.

 

[YoungSinatra]

Perfect!

Burish Out - Hertl In

Are you insane? Scott Hannan was paid $1M this year. Colin White was paid $1M last year. Niclas Wallin was paid $2.65M two years ago. Irwin is 10 times better than any of those guys, plus upside.

 

[OldAsianSharksFan]

No way. Burish is our whipping boy for four more years.

 

[oyster]

Great deal, good length. This fits with DW's MO of short term "prove it" contracts, with a larger deal to follow if he keeps up his current play over the next couple seasons.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Burish Out - Hertl In

One can hope.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Burish Out - Hertl In

Don't put my boy in the same sentence as Alan Burnish. Hertl will go straight to 1st line.

Dobt Torres gets 2.5m, unless he plays incredible.

Clearly, but as pins fly Burish is the one that should end up in the gutter.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

I was being generous with every contract just to be safe. Maybe except Demers but it's still pretty realistic.

Bolded on purpose?

 

[McSkittlez]

Awesome deal!
