2014 Overspend in Free Agency Thread

[Cobiemonster]

That Landeskog kid is pretty good as well (pix has a crush on him). Defensively, can guys like Josh Holden repeat last season's performance? I think that will have a big impact on how well the Avs do this upcoming season.

Yeah him too

And it's "Nick Holden"

But the defense is key - if Nick Holden keeps playing well and guys like Erik Johnson continue to step up, they should be fine

Damn it, I got my Holden's mixed up (lol)

And as of yet to show any signs of curing leprosy.

Well played sir

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Tyson Barrie, too.

Why you gotta do me like that, home-skillet?




Okay, yes I luff him.



On topic: agreed. Offensively I think they'll be fine, but D and in goal is where I question things. I don't have a ton of faith in Varly.

So what you're saying is they should sign Marty and have the 2 greatest goaltenders of all-time hanging out together on the bench most nights? Fucking brilliant Pix.

Oh. My. Gosh.



Seriously though, how epic would that be?

Is Patty's wife in *any* way related to Marty's?

And how many doors would be between them?

Would the Avs still retire Marty's number if he never plays a game?



/there, picked off all the low hanging fruit.

No , not enough , and yes

Clearly, the Wings want another season out of Dan.

Cleary signs with Red Wings. $1.5 plus $1M in bonuses...

 

[dash]

Wings fans are not exactly pleased about the Cleary signing over at Kukla's Korner (lol)

Edit: Looks like the Cleary signing was a fait accompli after Dan signed with the Wings even though he rejected more money from the Flyers last year.

The Wings offered Cleary an extension in June of 2013, with contracts ranging from two to three years in length. Cleary rejected those, and ultimately had a verbal agreement in September to join the Flyers for three years and $8.25 million, pending being signed once training camp was over due to Flyers' salary cap issues.

A day before Wings camp was to start in Traverse City, Cleary flew to Traverse City and met with Babcock and general manager Ken Holland. With Babcock pushing for Cleary's return, Holland gave Cleary, a Wing since 2005, a one-year deal worth $1.75 million. Along with that came a verbal agreement that Cleary would be taken care of the following summer – meaning now – for leaving money and term on the table in Philly.

What do you think the photographer was going for with that picture exactly? Why is there a disco ball in the shower?

 

[thedddd]

What Rob Ray is probably doing with his right hand in that picture is illegal is some states.

Ken Holland has a message for all the Cleary haters out there:

2 solid questions , with likely awkward answers we may not want to hear

Hey Harry, Hows life. I'm just getting on here and haven't figured out things yet. When I click on my user name it tells me I'm still awaiting approval so I can't as yet set up an av.

Work in progress.
