Yeah, he played for the Hawks for a few years in the early 90s.

I used to destroy people with him in NHL '94

He hit like a freight train. Then was traded for some Pulford reason I don't remember. Probably because he wanted a raise lol!

Mush was one of the meanest dudes I've ever seen play hockey. Can't be that old. Sorry for his family.

NHL.com's article says he was 53.

Kris Letang re-signs PITT for 6 yrs @6.1 AAV cap hit...so in effect took a pay cut from his $7.25 m cap hit of prior contract...they will front load thexeak but tgecrukes involved with extending guys over 35 years old apply...do notbknow if hevgetsxan NMC or NTC.

Letang still productive..but when he hits 38,39, 40?

Doesn't matter. Penguins will be completely done by that point. Once Crosby's deal is over they will be in rebuild mode.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

That Letang contract is gonna look fugly halfway through.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Nah, he will go into LTIRetirement eventually.

Good for him for taking home some more bags though.

Good deal for both parties. Always liked Filip Forsberg. He fits Nashville's M.O. of usually being very good but rarely being great

Will never forget his absolute domination of Toews in that playoff sweep.

I dont get it

If this is Leafs plan they should have just held onto Mrazek and looked for someone to platoon with him with upside

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

That legitimately makes ZERO sense for Toronto. Good lord.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If this turns out to be case I will be pissed that we bailed out Leafs with Mrazek deal and the Sens then give them major assets to take on Murray deal

We shall wait to see if this is true and what goes Toronto's way in deal alongside Murray

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Big blow for kid who looked likely to win roster spot and yet another injury for Flyers

Then we should get involved also right now

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

That would be smart on Hawks part and Davidson has worked with both GM's in recent days
