GDT - July 1st Free Agency: I'll take Patrick Rissmiller for $4.0m Alex!

[SJVP408]

Pretty impossible to make even an educated guess about the market for a depth forward, imo. With only two slots on the roster, G depth is much easier to judge team to team.

Perhaps they looked at Torrey Mitchell getting $1.9 and Doug thought Burish at $1.8 was a good deal. There are plenty of grinders to make comparisons to. To be fair, let's look at what's going on today for grinders:

Torrey Mitchell $1.9 cap hit for 3 years
Glass $1.1 for 2 years
John Mitchell $1.1 for 2 years
Moss $2.1 for 2 years

The $1.8 is whatever. The 4 years is what I don't like.

Reports are that deals for Parise and Suter will now be 12 years $80-90 each. Ridiculous.....

Not really 7.5 mill a season on the high end 6.6 mill on the low end thats pretty damn good

The per year is good, the 12 years is crazy.

We can compare who went where so far, but I was more speaking to the idea that we don't really know who was looking for a player like Burish. It's speculative at best to say no one else was calling when so many teams need lower line forwards.

What's wrong with 4 years if you're ok with the 1.8? I'm kinda the other way around.

They'll retire before they get there. At least, that's the thinking.

 

[abaskin18]

Prust gets 4/2.5M

 

[23sharks]

I guess we can hope that Wilson will make some good trades this offseason, because I don't see them doing anything good today.
If the bottom 6 are Handzus-Wingles-Desi-Burish-TJ-etc.....this is season will go just like the last one did.

Matt Carle is in Napa today, if that means anything.

agree

Ponikarovsky signed 1 year $1.8M deal with Winnipeg. I guess Wilson had no interest in signing a legit 3rd liner that can score 20+ goals.....

Id take a chance on Semin before Poni, that guy is about as up and down as britney spears weight

So relatively stable lately but still not good?

Thats how its done now a days... Dung wilson is just to retarded to get with the program. Cannot wait til this seasons over & his contract runs out...

 

[Likewall32]

Parros to Fl... donno if that was mentioned yet

 

[Cbrower91]

Wow Brandon Prust 5 goals and he is getting 2.5mill per lol

 

[23sharks]

I looked at his numbers and they were pretty good, especially being on some shitty teams. Read some article about him and they used one of those measuring stats and he looks like a good player. Would you rather have him at 1.8 or Burish?

 

[23sharks]

I'd bet the management told him there is no way they'd let him offer a long deal like that either.
Taking chances like this has definitely paid off for other teams. Hossa's deal comes to mind quickly. LA trading for Richards and then Carter is another...

Considering it's the first day of UFA and everyone gets overpaid, $1.8 is whatever. With the way grinders are supposed to play, their bodies can break down starting near their lower 30s limiting their skill set, a skill set that does not usually include hands or offensive IQ, two skills I feel do not diminish as quickly as a player ages.

So here's a 29 year old Burish that turns 30 during the 12-13 season signed for four years.

 

[Cbrower91]

4 mill per season of PA Parentau wow what an overpayment
