Free Agency Day(s)

[mikey]

Perron back to STL. 2 years, $3.875m per.

That's a good deal.

For Perron, not for StL

Opposite. Perron is a very good player. In the context of the market, that might be the biggest bargain of the day...

Free agency will be over at 12:30 at this rate.

[Avyran]

[mikey]

Yeah, especially given where they are at in their...rebuild...? Whatever they're doing. Jim Benning is one of the worst GMs I've seen...so he keeps on keeping on with that...

Letangs 7 million is looking better by the minute

Perron scored at a 59 point pace in Anaheim last season after being moved. Even if he's "only good on a new team" - this is a new team. He makes less than Darren Helm who is a 25 point player...Andrew Shaw...Dave Bolland makes like twice that...I'm not saying two wrongs make a right...but that's a bargain...even if he's only good for one of the years...

No no, we are talking DAVID Perron. HA!

I supported him when Rutherford got him, but his stock fell HARD over those two years. He has proven that he is more a relatively non-physical 15g 30pt guy who likes to completely vanish, rather than the 30g 60pt guy that he was in 13-14. Nice guy, but not a good use of cap space.

[Avyran]

Backes got a 5-year deal. 6m avg.

[Avyran]

Okposo to BUF, 7y/6m.

That's not bad.

[mikey]

Okposo to Buffalo for 7 years if that's not out there...

[Dickie Dunn]

I'd rather pay that to Okposo than Lucic.

Source of the post relatively non-physical 15g 30pt guy

This has never happened in his career.

[crusherstasiak]

holy crap that Brouwer deal

[Avyran]

Brouwer to CGY, 4y/4.5m.

Staal to Wild, 3y/3.5m.

[mikey]

Eric Staal 3 x $3.5 mil per with Minnesota...

[Avyran]

Eric Staal 3 x $3.5 mil per with Minnesota...

He'd be a pretty good 3rd-line center there, I think. Don't think they needed more centers, but ah well.

[NTP66]

Minnesota is nuts.

Last year he was 12g-36pts... close enough, and that includes the amazing Anaheim run that he had.

I did say "more of a ... than a ..." in reference to my original thoughts/hopes when we first got him.

[Dickie Dunn]

Eric Staal now makes less than Brandon Sutter. That's funny to me for some reason.
