Byfuglien cashes in

[jstewismybastardson]

wow over 5 mill per for this guy?

Thrashers sign Byfuglien to 5-year, $26 million extension

 

[puckhead]

good for buffy, for the Thrashers

at least this means he stays in the east (and probably out of the playoffs) for the forseeable future

or until the Jets move into the Northwest

Bring back the Smythe Division...

^^^^^ Not exactly something you see every day. Maybe about 10 years ago in Edmonton.

I guess Atlanta knew that Burke was about to give him 8.5 mil...

Is Waddell still involved in Thrasher player personnel decisions because this move has his fingerprints all over it...

 

[juliansteed]

I was referring to the fact that the Thrashers were celebrating. I think that might have happened in Edmonton about 10 years ago as well but I'm not sure.

He has moved on and atlantas favorite son is making this years player personnel decisions

stagename also describes the money involved in Buffs deal

This makes me happy the Pens locked up Letang at 3.5 million.

3.5 - 4 million was the neighborhood I was thinking for Big Buff on a longer team deal as well.

 

[pixburgher66]

Also: Chicago is screwed in resigning Seabrook now.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

This is what I think of every time I see Byfuglien.

Nah he's waiting for Tavares to become an RFA after next season.

 

[Comeds]

Eddie O had some good point about Buffs last contract helping him get this new super high one. He is on the last year of a 3 year 9 million dollar he signed after his first full season on the league. With his improvement, consistency, and playoff sucess he was bound to get a raise. Now is all that worth a 2.2 million dollar raise per season? I do not know......

The offense supports this deal, but the defense does not.

That is all.
