You should. I know the boys around the river would have a lot more respect for you. Throw a stache in there and youd be a legend.

$5 million is basically the price for a quality veteran starter...it seems about right for a goalie his age.

I think its too much for howard, he's woth no more than 3.5, maybe even 4, but that's it.

I would tend to agree as I put him on the level of Hiller (4.5) Niemi (3.8) Crawford (2.67) and Pavelec (3.9) not that of the 5+ mill goalies. I don't think it is bad deal per say, just more than I would want if I was a wing fan.

(I haven't looked up the stats for BBKL worth, I am talking real life here lol)

nick should drop him

[Phion Keneuf]

I don't like it at all for the Wings tbh

i like it a lot for the wings actually, they are in the Leafs conference/division next year, he eats up a lot of cap for an OK goalie.

[Tony]

5 mil with the new cap? Hm ... not so sure.

[Robin Hood]

I think that is a solid and fair valuation for Howard.

[armandtanzarian]

I hope that sets the range for Rask. I could live with 5 mil.

[Lee]

You think he deserves 7?

[armandtanzarian]

No, not 7 but i could see 6. No way AK resigns with Boston either. He wants his own gig.

[Shoalzie]

$6+ million seems to be the price for the elite of the elite...Lundqvist, Price, Miller, Ward, et al. Rask could probably ask for $6+ million.

I made the point on HF, they don't have a great defense in front him anymore so it's not like they can go on the cheap with goaltending anymore. They used to get away with having just a few million tied up in their two goalies. Osgood didn't make much in his last few years in the league. You're paying for his prime years with this deal. $5.3 million might be a decent price by the time you're a couple years into the deal. Howard is a solid regular season goalie but I think he needs to emerge as a playoff goalie in the next year or two to justify this deal.

Antero Nittymaki retires

Sabres say Tyler Myers suffered broken leg last night and will miss the remainder of season.

[The BBKL Insider]

i just read that the Swedish league isn't allowing that guy boston just signed to play in the NHL.

He said he'd refuse to ever play for Sweden again, let me look for a link, just read it on my phone.
