2014 Overspend in Free Agency Thread

[forty_three]

Christian Ehrhoff gets one year at 4m.
Orpik gets five at 5.5m each.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Agreed. It's probably a million more per than anyone else offered. Works both ways.

He probably steps into the C in Buffalo too. Not too many teams likely to offer that.

May not want it though. Anyone with a letter on their jersey has been moved or bought out in the last couple years.

I cannot contain my laughter at that Orpik deal. Oh my word is that bad. I like the Pens moves so far (low risk, fixing problems), but the Griess deal confused me.

That might be the single biggest upgrade for any team right there.

Better player for $1.5M less.

Decent player, but never really took advantage of his opportunities. Wish him well.

Clears a logjam on the 4th line and gives Springfield another body.

Jarmo - only Moulson is left. GO! ONWARD I SAY!

 

[Canuck eh?]

I can't wait until Stamkos and Tavares return to play for their hometown team

Weren't you just talking about delusional?
