That's so dumb. It's like they think theres no chance they can improve so they settle. Where's the self-confidence at.

 

when they play hard ball...they are greedy, selfish, spoiled S.O.B...but

when they settle for less, they are dumb, weak, with no self-confidence.

 

They just can't win, can they? LOL

Stupid autocorrect. It's Rickard Rakell. He got 2 points in 7 playoff games, he's only played 2.25 seasons in the NHL. 

The term is crazy, the amount isn't. Sweet deal for the Ducks though. Maybe he just likes it in So Cal? I'd wouldn't cry about making $3.8 million a year.

It seems there may be a change in direction with "non-star" quality players. Players in this category may be prepared to leave some money on the table to get more term. There are a lot of average players having difficulty getting reasonable contract offers at the end of expiring contracts as more of the younger players take their roster spots.

Might be an overpayment today but he's well on his way to being a very good player so it could turn into a steal of a cap hit. I've been very impressed with his development since he was drafted. He really impressed me when he played for Sweden in the World Cup. Underrated player.

According to General Fanager, this now leave ANA with $300k in cap space. So no Hampus Lindholm this year? Someone has to get traded, and they have to make a deal with him. Can't see ANA moving enough salary now to sign Lindholm.

they need to move out more than just fowler to create enough room to sign lindholm. 

 

If im the Canucks I'm calling Ana about silfverberg and his 3.750 cap hit to take off their hands

Your numbers are wrong. They had 7.5 mil in cap space before this signing.

So deal for Sifverberg and send Jake to Utica? It would have to be a draft pick to Anaheim. Offer Columbus' 2nd rounder for him?
