If they dump Versteeg too, they'll have more than enough to re-sign Leino

Eagles_Legendz · June 23, 2011, 04:49:05 PM

Bryz signed apparently 9 yr $51 million.

that rumor is false from all the sources

Bryz's hit is about the same as Richards', so they've freed up Carter's salary (minus whatever these new guys take up) and got another $5M with the cap increase earlier this week, so I figure they have about $9M-$10M to play with....maybe more if Versteeg is dealt

Well obviously, but the dude is signed until he's 40. Jesus.

On paper, I think they got better...I think.

There's no way we can say that at this point. They got one 40-50 point guy, one 30-point guy, a great prospect and some picks. There's a lot of potential there and they definitely got great value for what they gave up, but when you trade away 130-150 points and your captains, it's hard to really claim that they are better now than they were.

What they did do was allow themselves to sign a real goalie, give the C to Pronger and somehow they got even younger than they were. Those are all exciting. I'm just not sure that they're actually better right now.

they probably need a scorer now. some people say schein can probably play next year, others say no.

just go get farging Stamkos. he's a restricted FA

They definitely need a scorer. Whether Schenn can play or not is irrelevant, he isn't going to step on the ice and be Ovechkin. Or even Carter, for that matter.

Stamkos is about to sign a long-term deal with Tampa (and was just named to the cover of NHL12 last night)

SunMo · June 23, 2011, 05:20:22 PM

a pylon could replace Carter in the playoffs
