2014 Overspend in Free Agency Thread

[dash]

Oilers have inked Justin Schultz to a one year deal.

Ryan Rishaug @TSNRyanRishaug
According to @TSNBobMcKenzie 3.675 million for Schultz.

Actually, this is a pretty good contract for both parties, Schultz gets good money and the Oil get to see if they want to make a long-term commitment to Justin. Or maybe that decision has already been made?

The quote is quite accurate.

MacTavish was wearing a sleep mask at the time.

 

[Oldtom]

If the guy really had any 'jam' he would've at least tried to make the B'hox. Now he's just basically the cheap replacement for the last big dufus.

MacTavish is Scot/Gaelic for 'son of beautiful dreamer'.

lol. math is wrong

@RomulusNotNuma 5h
Good for @JasonGregor for asking MacT about Schultz' analytics.
MacT: "I disagree with the analytics on our group."

Basically J. Schultz is the only NHL D to play 1000 EV minutes the past 2 years + allow shot attempts and goals against at a bottom-5 rate.

sorry Puck, did you miss the part where Mac-T believes him to be a norris winning potential dman? didnt that clear it up for you?

 

[puckhead]

Not surprised one bit Nino wants more money. His agent is a pain in the ass to.

Still better than Cal Clutterbuck.

Rangers sign F Ryan Malone to one-year, two-way contract $700K/$100K

Nino Niederreiter is resigned by Minny for 3yrs, $8 mil.

nhl-puck-daddy

That just leaves Kuemper

I hated the trade. I'm not a fan of Clutterbuck. My comment has to do with Nino, his agent & how they both whined about him not making the team after his horrific rookie season. They both acted like little kids.

Solid deal for both sides. Nino will still be a RFA at the end of the deal. I saw a lot of good things from Nino last year. He's only going to get better, especially if he's playing in the top 6.
