Sakic and Roy reunited with Tanguay - kind of cool. Also a reminder as to how good Tanguay was at such a young age.

Rob Blake hiring expected? Foppa as a euro-scout or special advisor to the GM? Going into a dynasty build? God knows they would be able to attract players.

I still remember when they traded Forsberg, citing keeping Tanguay and Hejduk as the reason.

good news for david jones

To go play by himself?

LOL. I will say as a Stempniak owner, I'm happy about him being one of the best forwards on that team now.

Looking at the comments, I love how it's become FACT that Letang is only putting up points because of Malkin and Sid. He was piling them on when both of em were injured.

If I were a player with one more year on my deal there's no way I sign an extension this summer. Next year's the squeeze, salaries will be temporarily down for one year. Why not wait until the wild west opens up again next July 1?

Not sure why he'd reject 56mil over 8 years though?

is he really worth more than 7mil per?


I understand he's pretty friggin awesome, but some of the (good) top paid dman are:

Chara: 6.9
Doughty: 7
Keith: 5.5
The Buff: 5.5
OEL: 5.5
Karlsson: 6.5


all of those guys are in a similar class to Letang (well except chara, he's just a monster) and none of them make more than 7 mil per season.

I think 7's a solid number for Letang. In general if I'm a UFA in 2014 I'm waiting it out and seeing what I can get on the open market.

nucks now considering buying out Luongo if they can't work a deal with the isles that includes Ricky D + prospect/pick coming back.

[Tony]

Letang probably looking for guarantees - NTC or NMC

kindl re-signed for 4 yrs.. good news for me

[shooker]

Its funny letang rejected this deal imo. You think it is because both the GM and Coach were quoted as saying that he wasn't their best dman this year? They said Martin was. lol Which I agree with. Two of the three Norris noms including the winner weren't the best dman on their teams... imo anyways. cough markov.

Letang is not worth more than Karlsson, OEL, Chara, Doughty or Keith imo. Maybe in BBKL he is but not real life. I can't believe he turned that down.

As I said before, I'd rather they don't. Just because the cost is going to be astronomically high most likely.

I bet we resign bozak.

Ufa's need to pull their heads from their butt, most teams don't have the money to spend on their own players, let alone overpay for a 2nd, 3rd line C

F-U bozak

I'd like to see you rot on any other teams 3rd line while u eat up 5mil of their cap space. I just hope they'd have 1 remaining buyout because they'll need it next year.
