Danthecanucksfan Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Great Player. Maybe a little bit more than expected, but he is definitely worth the money. Good signing for the jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks#01fan Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Has anyone even gone through arbitration? Seems like all the players are reaching deals before, which is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Wow. Didn't expect 5m+. I would have thought 2 years 3.5m per then do a long term deal? Nonetheless, he's a great player who would deserve that $ eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrible.dee Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 What is going on with salary's? Nobody makes "Middle money" anymore It seems like any old 50 pt player is getting close to six mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlsson`s Flo Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Jets overpaying to keep their players in the Peg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 They pretty much blew $9M on Olli Jokinen, at least Wheeler will earn his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Great player. 5+ Milll is a bit much though somewhere in the 3.5-4 M range probably would have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Well if Grabovski can get 5.5 mil, I think Wheeler deserves it too. And the inflation continues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Kane Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 That's at least $500K per season too much but the Jets did what was needed to keep a talented player. Given that Little got $4.7 million I guess $5.6 for Wheeler isn't too too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 About time they sign Wheeler! But I think the cap hit is a bit too high. They still need to re-sign Bogosian too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Wow. I was thinking somewhere around 4.5-5.4 He was probably asking alot more, good move for WPG though hes a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Smooth move for them jets. Next, send a package with Evander Kane for Claude Giroux.(source is a mailman's friend's cousin, in manitoba) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
