MaxVerstappen33 Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Dan Cloutier 2 years, 6.2 million. Not big term or money but a good way to flush 6.2 million dollars down a toilet. The Capfriendly page is a little strange on this one. It shows the contract as 2 years but the buyout is 2 years too. Did he finish one season ? https://www.capfriendly.com/players/dan-cloutier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 What I would do for a Dman like Ohlund just now.... could care less if he didn't score a goal the next couple of years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very much like late Edler in his later years. He had some giveaways. If you didn't like late Edler , you wouldn't have liked late Ohlund. We should have signed Edler for 1 year , 3.5 m imo Edited October 30, 2021 by MaxVerstappen33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But be careful what you say, some believe he was amazing on this site. For me not re-signing Mitchell cost us the cup. Edit: And yes i get the circumstances. The guy wasn't here long ... but his Pratt awards were deserving. Salo was around too so get why the club didn't want two guys who had some serious health concerns. Ballard. Ugh. So close but just not the right mix. Edited October 30, 2021 by IBatch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way , it wasn't a dodged bullet because Mike Gilles had no intention of signing him for anywhere near that term or money. And neither did the fanbase. He would have been great to keep but I don't remember anyone complaining that we should have kept him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports. Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) A reminder why UFA and long term contracts usually are not a good idea , the premium paid for the return is poor Edited October 31, 2021 by ba;;isticsports 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have had to give up on a better d-man to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense is more to blame than the defense, but it's not devoid of blame either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the other 3 losses (including the 8-1 blow out in game 3) the score was no worse than Boston 1-0 halfway through the game. So to lay blame on the defence isn't really fair. The offence was anemic. Though losing Hamhuis in game 2 (tore an olblique hip checking Lucic) didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's the one who got the last laugh. Lol true, lucky him, 1/2 (cashing in but not winning it all) ain't half bad I guess. Somewhere Ricky DiPietro and everyone on Robidas Island must be laughing all the way to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollumpus Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 18 hours ago, MaxVerstappen33 said: Players that we never resigned, who went on to get contracts with new teams. There's a few notable defenseman. I remember for most of these, the fanbase agreed it was best to let them go, because their next contract wouldn't be worth it. And we were right. Christian Ehrhoff 10 years, 40 million. Would have been under contract this year still ! Bought out in 2014. Matthius Ohlund. 7 years, 26 million. He had no goals and 13 assists in 2009/10. He would end the 2011 season with 72 games played but no goals scored with only five assists. Öhlund finally scored a goal in a Tampa Bay uniform, an empty-netter in game 2 of the opening round, a 5-1 win over the Penguins in Pittsburgh. He would go on to add two assists over the 18 games the Lightning played before being eliminated by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals. He hasn't skated since. Ed Jovanovski. 5 years, 32.5 million. That's a 6.5 million dollar cap hit in the the 2006/2010 world. Cory Schneider 7 years, 42 million. Who else ? Ehrhoff will be tough to beat. To be fair, Ehrhoff was going to Buffalo to win a Cup. regards, G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
