McKenzie saying Weise to Philly a done deal.

I'd consider Weise an upgrade over White.. but 4 years has me scared.

Erickson to the Canucks
Backes to Boston

I didn't hear about the years but im hearing 2.3 to Wiese while White is asking 1.77

I have no idea why the Islanders would let Okposo go and then sign Ladd for basically the same years half a million less per year

who knows how the talks went down. Maybe Okposo sees Buffalo rising and Islanders falling

so we signed Weise, who is another 4th line player. I think he is the big FA move for the year. I have to think Hext thinks Konecny is NHL ready.

 

[awaz]

agreed.. seems like a crazy move by the Isles to me. I'd take Okposo over Ladd every day.

Weise - 4 years, 2.35 AAV sounds like. Seems a bit steep to me, but i'd rather be locked in to Weise for 4 years at 2.35 than be locked in to Backes, Lucic, or Laad on the contracts they got.

Staal to Minny for 3 years at 3.5 would've been a good deal though i think.

Early on I brought up signing Martin and you said 2 million a year is way to much for a 4th liner. Now were locked in a 2.35 for 4 years for a 4th liner.

It IS too much. Not a good signing unless the Flyers see him as a 3rd line guy.

His last 2 years have been:

10-19-29
14-13-27

He is better offensively than White and apparently also better defensively. He is, however, a 4th line guy.

IMO 4 years is way too many years also.

Very nice improvement of the bottom six

We definitely could've done better. Tying up this amount of money for 4 years for a 4th liner is not smart at all.

I agree. I really thought a 20 goal scorer was priority. McGinn went for $3.5 so I guess that was too much. This is the type of signing that makes me believe Konecny is on the team next year.
