Ghostsof1915 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 They brought up a good point. The difference between a $4 million goalie and $10 million isn't that big. You'd think Florida would have learned from Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireGillis Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Madness! Worst deal of the year by far! Never pay a goalie that much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamhuis Hip Check Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 And keeping luongo was a worse option than this why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I can see the argument for Bobrovsky. I mean he is a two time Vezina winner and goaltending is the most important position... But come on, there’s just no way a contract like that provides value long term. Probably gonna cost them one of their young stars too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestFalcon Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 That's a lot of cash and term for a goaltender. I don't think you can move this without great difficulty, Florida must love its goaltending, first round pick on knight now 10 mil X 7 on Bob. Will be interesting to see what problems they run into for years to come thanks to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah panarin's deal will probably end up being one of the best because he's the only one worth breaking the bank for today. He's at or close to Pettersson's level and I would have no problem giving Pettersson 11.6m today. He might end up costing more though if the cap rises in a couple of years. Panarin is a game breaker and franchise player like Pettersson. He dragged the jackets to the playoffs twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 This reminds me of Bryzgalof being signed to that 10 year 50 million contract in Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been broadcasted as a foregone conclusion for longer than the courting period. There must have been something there, not suspicious to the league at all? This is too much money for a goaltender, Bob is one of the best in the league sure but goalies are so up and down I think it's hard to justify that much in net. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
