2014 Overspend in Free Agency Thread

[Johnnydollaz89]

Clearly the Rangers are not into giving out long-term deals. I'm not against that notion at all. Will miss Stralsy, but it's all good.

When does Iggy get his sweater put up in the rafters at the Pepsi Can?

Alright Pens...sign Kulemin to make Geno happy, find a way to move Scuderi, and this offseason is a success.

Opening night - All it takes is playing 94 regular season games in the Can and Iggy has already done that.

Agreed on both counts.

@TSNRyanRishaug: Florida and Rangers a possibility for Matt Hunwick.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

2:42PM: It is FIVE-YEARS and $22.5 million, which is a cap hit of $4.5 million.

So what we gave Boyle, just less years, good.

 

[Cobiemonster]

This is a great signing

Good signing by the Lightning

Agreed. Good money and he will be fine for the life of the term.

 

[pixburgher66]

Agreed on both counts.

It's amazing to think that the team would actually be in great cap health without that signing.

Just saw that someone named Taylor Feduin went to San Jose and I almost peed myself.

Damn dyslexia.

Sabres re-sign Marcus Foligno 2 years @ $1.875M per.

With today's moves, I think buffalo's own 1st will be way, way later than NYI's.

Islanders already fixed their biggest problem (goaltending). Upgrading from the worst goaltending in the league is pretty easy to do, and a big difference maker. I would be somewhat surprised if they're not better than the Leafs next year, for instance.

[sabresfaninthesouth]

I suppose it's too much to hope for that that is $2.9M per?

/Still wouldn't be Calgary's worst deal today.

 

[pixburgher66]

That IS per year.

Jesus tap dancing Christ, that's terrible.

 

[evolver115]

That IS per year.

 

[IPostedWhat]

 

[Darkstone42]

That's per year?

No, it can't be. That would be incomprehensibly stupid.
