Ghostsof1915 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I think the person with the heroin addiction had to be Mike Milbury. What did he see in DiPietro that was so much better than Luongo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaguez Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 This is the ridiculous contract that MG should have taken note of before signing Luongo to his absurdly large contract, IMO. This is an example of what happens when a player signs a massive deal and quite frankly busts, injuries notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3. Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Gotta give him some credit for preservering through his band-aid issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Wonder if they are in the market for another goalie? Hiller and a few other decent guys could be available. I can't see NYI buying him out. They don't need to free up cap space and always struggle to hit the cap floor... why spend cash that avoids a cap hit that you need. Having him play some time in the minors seems like the only logical reasoning. Maybe also hoping for a miracle in someone to pick him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 That's the contract you choose to compare to Luongo's? Do you also wear a helmet when not playing hockey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 If a team could get a really good player out of the deal I'm sure a few teams would take on Dipietro's contract to buyout. 1 million or 1.5 million a year till 2029 is chump change to some teams if they can get a significant player to put them over the top. Even one deep playoff run that a team might not have had would payoff the cost of buying Dipietro out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I really do think that Dipietro will be able to be traded once the NYI agree to absorb 50% of his cap hit/salary. Yes, they will pay in assets to achieve this. They do, however, have a very strong young base and quality prospects in their system. If they can manage it correctly, the timing of the move to Brooklyn with this movement could be paramount. If the purse strings can be loosened, and the the monies spent wisely, they could be a big splash player for FAs as soon as this offseason.

Pouria Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Jesus man, tone down the value on Schneider. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Well...let's see...it's a long term contract given to a goaltender, which is just ****ing foolish to start with considering the higher risk of injury...Luongo is a goaltender...hmm...who the frack am I supposed to compare it to, Kovalchuk's? Zetterberg's? Last I checked,. those two are actually doing their part to earn their contracts. And they're forwards. I was not comparing the players or what they've done in their careers at all...not by a long shot...are you sure your name shouldn't be PLAGUE...because you're certainly PLAGUING me right now, even before I've had my coffee, ass.

Losing With Pride Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 He's great for a team that has trouble getting to the cap floor every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edlerberry Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Probably one of the worst 1st overall picks of all time + worst contract of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyosama Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 So giving forwards a longer contract is OK since they have a lower risk of injury than goaltenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
