I would have rather signed Chris Butler than Deryk Engelland...and I am not a Chris Butler fan.

Forgive me I'm tired, still recovering from Canada Day.

This will help...

Bobby Bonilla is the 12th highest paid Mets player on the team's 2014 payroll

Forgive me I'm tired, still recovering from Canada Day.

You'd think you would learn your lesson after all these years of tearing it up on Canada day....

Is it too early to be bitter and say i hope Heatly stays unsigned ?

I second that emotion - the talking heads on sports radio in Calgary are soiling themselves trying to back up Burkes point that Engelland is signed for his "character" ..........save me

I would have rather signed almost anyone than Deryk Engelland.


Brooks Orpik, not included.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Wonder what knuckleheaded GM would take a flyer on a knuckleheaded center like Ribeiro...

Burke already tried trading for him prior to the buyout haha

Let's just say Flames fans are extremely lucky that Burke somehow resisted the urge to trade for magic beans and drafted two top six centres in his first two drafts. Extremely lucky.

Pittsburgh just added back Neal's stupidity with none of the skill. Nice

On one hand, kinda surpised Mario would bring a garage league player to the Penguins, on the other hand, not that surprised.

Yeah I don't get the deal at all but I guess it is the "grit" they said was missing from this team last season.

As in grit your teeth everytime he's on the ice?!?

Seriously did half the league's failed clubs last term all read from the same offseason script?

Still, it's $1 million for a 4th liner, and given the injuries PIT faces on their top lines every season i'm sure he'll eventually get bumped up to play with Sid and score 20 goals.
