Spoosh Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 With his injury history, I'd ay it was at a quite good level. He could/should have been paid around 3M if he would have been healthier in the years before. But then again, he should have been paid 4-5M or something... nevermind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiredatwork Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Even a blind squirrel finds the occasional acorn. We have Ballard, Florida has a prospect yet to play an NHL game. We have Booth, Florida has nothing. Who won those trades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Underpaid last year Overpaid this and next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsey Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 tough to say. He was relatively healthy, so because of that I would say yes. He was underpaid my about $1M. When healthy Salo can easily be a great d-man and easily earn $3-4M+ but because of his health he seems to always (or at least often) get paid less, which is fair enough tbh.

Baggins Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 We traded the leagues best even strength goal scorer and a 1st round pick for a healthy scratch during the playoffs. I would call that a loss. I know you disagree and have a very long list of excuses why, I know in your head these excuses are real, so just save them. Thanks for acknowledging I even predicted Ballard would be a healthy scratch during our cup run year, I didn't think you had it in you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiredatwork Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 As far as I'm concerned he was only underpaid in hindsight. Based on his previous season it was an appropriate deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 so sami was worth $2 mill and sturm was worth $2.25? That seemed fair to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiredatwork Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Actually Perry led the league in esg in Grabners first full season. Stamkos led the league this past season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiredatwork Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 So you'd pay over 2 mil for a player who played 27 games the season before with a long history of injuries? That would make sense to you? You have to think about all aspects of the situation...don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoasting Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I think 2 year/ 4 mill total is extremely low risk, especially considering how he played through the playoffs. It wouldd be nice to have salo coming back this year at 2 mill per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowscyne Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Salo should of made 3.75M last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr8zyCanuck Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Salo played in 84.1% of games last season at a 2M price tag. Since he was top 4, and we know the Canucks had a losing record without him in the lineup, I think it fair to say he was underpaid. Let's look at an average top 4 Dman getting payed quite a bit. Garrison is at 5.5M for this year. Let's divide that by half to be fair, basically saying that Salo is HALF the D-man Garrison was last year (not true at all). 2.75M would have been fair for Salo last year, however let's take out the 15.9% of games he missed last year to be fair to what he was actually worth per game. We still have 2.31M Now we need to factor in a non-mathematical factor which would be the intangibles he brings to the ice on a game to game basis. His big shot, puck movement, defensive positioning, his cornering guys off into the boards and stopping rushes, his consistency. If anyone has the teams winning % without Salo in the lineup Vs. with him. All I could find is this quote from a Canadian article publishes back in Jan 23, 2011 -The Canucks are barely a .500 team when Salo's out of the lineup If this is in fact true, then what are we with him the line up? Let's say we're .599 (stats from 2011-2012 show we are overall better than that, but just to be completely flawless mathematically let's say we are only 9.99% better with him in the lineup....we are better than that but for the sake of the argument) We'll take the 2.23M salary and factor in the X factor which is: 9.99%< X just to be safe and honest 2.23M x .0999 + 2.23 = FINAL ANSWER 2.461 M/ year Lastly, let's end with this beautiful tribute to Salo. Grossly underpaid? Nah. Underpaid last year? Yeah. Even whilst being super conservative with %s and going completely under what was fair to Salo, we still come out with OVER 2M/YEAR salary. Poor Salo. Well, not anymore. Tampa is a nice gig. I hear they have Nude Beaches there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
