2014 Overspend in Free Agency Thread

[mattola]

For Pitt. Makes no sense for Ehrhoff.

Shot at a cup a real one with Pitts. He has plenty if cash he's chasing hockey I love it

I was surprised about Ehrhoff going to Pittsburgh

@PLeonardNYDN Stralman will not be returning to Rangers, per source. Rangers are out

We'll end up signing Boyle now, guaranteed.

very curious move for ehrhoff

Brilliant by PIT. Guess Rutherford is doing a great sell job down there.

Jim Rutherford is God!

Replaces Niskanen, no surprise here.

I just find it hard to believe he needed to sign that quickly. Chicago, LA, Boston, Anaheim, STL would all offer, IMO, a better shot. Hard to believe one of them couldn't give him as much or. better

Stralman gone, I want Niskanen!

Crosby and Malkin, friends with Goc, not sure why this is questioned. Chicago has no room, nor does the kings. This is a smart move and it's one year in case it fails it's no lose both sides.

@TGfireandice: Mark Fayne probably not coming back to Devils, but told Rangers are not in on him or Ryan Carter.

@EdmontonOilers: #Oilers agree to terms with defenceman Mark Fayne on a four-year contract and winger Benoit Pouliot on a five-year contract.

5 years?!?!?!!?!?!

Oilers signed Mark Fayne 4 yr $3.5 per

Chi and LA have big guys to re-sign soon, Boston is capped out, STL needs to spend on forwards. Anaheim was a fit...

Anaheim could have been nice as well

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie · now
Nothing official yet but I believe MTL a likely winner in Jiri Sekac UFA sweepstakes. Much sought after 22-year-old winger in KHL last year.

LMFAO depth!

$20M depth

 

[forty_three]

Manny Malholtra signs with Montreal one year deal $850k

Good luck Manny. Always loved that guy.

Penguins sign Christian Ehrhoff 1 yr deal $4m

Brilliant signing

ONE YEAR? THAT'S ALL IT TOOK?

Stralman is gonna get PAID

LMFAO depth!

Shows all he cared about was money and not winning. Enjoy missing the playoffs for 5 years.
