"Word is that the Bruins may be preparing to offer Hossa a seven year MAX contract of 11.3 per for 7.."

WOW.... And they also say that demitra wont make a move yet, until hossa and campbell are off the market. I guess if they are off the market, his Stock goes up, cash in more $$$

Luongo, kessler, sedins, edler, (other young draft picks)

We gotta sign them all soon enough. and HOSSA for 6+ years at a crazy salary would make us lose some of our talent pool...

Sundin is a pretty logical move. but the $ is a bit ridiculous, however the 2 year term, is good.

So the Sundin deal is actually $5 million per year with a $5 million signing bonus for each year. Regardless it's still $10 mill per year we're paying him. Sigh

God, why the hell do we need Sundin for? Sure he scored a few goals last season but the man is past his prime and not worth taking a risk for the money he's asking for.

it's saying Detroit is making a huge push for hossa :eek:

uhh no, he was still pretty awesome last season. Sundin's always on his prime. The only question is his heart right now

so does 5 or 10 mill go towards are cap?

WTF

Cancucks offer SUNDIN $20 million over 2 years?!?!!!!!!!!!!

GAY BALLS

Sundin or Messier I dunno im getting a flashback or something.

edit again: i thought we were trying to get rid of washed up superstars ie naslund

pretty sure its 10... you cant have just 5 on cap and 5 under the table.

^ im not sure, they just explained it on TSN and it sounds like there is a 5 Million incentive for each year of the contract + a 5 mill a year contract?

fuck this is just fucked.....

I do like the Backes signing though, good shit

they also said if he walks out on his last yr it goes towards the cap

they already looked pretty scary before, now with cole and possibly hossa, wtf! if hossa signs with edmonton, i say rebuild for the canucks cause there is no way we will win the cup in the next 2 yrs

Edm, Tampa, Philly, Pits, and Chicago looks so stacked!! and not to forgot Detroit too

things don't look good for canucks land

I believe it is $5million towards the cap. I could be wrong though I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to Cap rules

well brian campbell 8 yr 7.1 a yr with the blackhawks

WOW....Brian Campbell to Blackhawks for 8 years at 7.1 mil per

you guys that want hossa for 8 years over sundin for 2 years are RETARDED
first off HOSSA being the go to guy is gonna shit bricks like he did in atlanta
he came to pitts and did good with crosby

I REPEAT SUNDIN HAS BEEN THE GO TO GUY FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS WITH NO HELP AND HE STILL GETS IT DONE

THIS DOESNT HAMPER US LONG TERM AS BETTER FREE AGENTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

It still goes towards the cap, but if u have player bonuses, you can overspend
a certain percent over the cap. or somethign liek that.

heres the link

i rather have sundin over 2 years than hossa for more than 8+ years

^ agreed. sundin is definitely one of the most reliable players in the league.

:werd:



.

definitely. i don't think sundin is anywhere near washed up. he's been carrying the leafs on his back for his entire career and hasn't really shown any wear yet.
