NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

I agree, 3.75 with ~4 years term is the upper end his play to date has suggested.

Hal Gill reups for 1 year with MTL for 2.25 Mil as per Bob Mackenzie on twitter.

[Shep]

Damnit, I was hoping for a cheaper contract.

[bills09]

2.25 is pretty cheap

2.25 is pretty cheap

That's what he made last year, I wanted cheaper!

[bills09]

at least berglund signed cheap for you

[Nick]

2.1 then 2.4 -> 2.25M cap hit?

[Scott]

Yeppers.. I knew you could do it!!

[Shep]

Still a raise though

I heard it on the radio... the boss forbids I verify instead of just stating everything as facts.

Ya, probably the best way to do things..

Vatanen, Sami » 3 years totalling $4,055,000 meaning a cap hit of $1,351,667

Going to be a fun player to watch.

fuck, i was expecting a cheaper contract.. and it also has a europe clause on top of it

[Nick]

They had to sign him or lose him to another draft Kyuss...

still a 4th rounder... plus, the fact they had to sign him didn't mean he would stay one more year in Finland (which is probably a wise decision though).

[bills09]

likely stays in europe for 1 more year.

[bills09]

Tim Erixson must be signed by 5pm or he re-enters the draft..

[kyuss]

likely stays in europe for 1 more year.

he will, that's what i meant.

[Shep]

He won't be signed, no chance.

If he's signed and stays in Sweden 1 more year (which is what he wants to do) than it burns a years off his ELC regardless.

that's what it is supposed to happen with Vatanen i guess, but is still very different from losing the rights on the player, isn't it? plus, there would be left 2yrs of the ELC anyway.. Anaheim chose to sign Vatanen..

btw, players on ELC who stay in Europe i guess will get for that year the AHL salary on the two-way contract right?
