O'Brien opts out of arbitration

Probably for the best... haha.

O'Brien opts out of messy salary arbitration hearing

I guess that means he'll sign his qualifying offer of $1.6.

The guys at the Roxy have dared him to sign his name on the contract as Shane-zilla

 

[mooger_35]

apperently he has put pen to paper.

per 1040

Time to celebrate Shane. A round of drinks on you!

put your shirt back on, Shane.

At least he's signed. Should accelerate the Bieksa deal a little bit, methinks.

25.7 mill now allotted to dmen ... almost toronto maple leaf like

Alberts at 1.3 mill for a 6th or 7th guy is not very moneypuck

I like shane , the 2nd half of the season he came into his own on the defensive and offensive end , now if he only stops taking stupid stupid penalties and keeps his temper in check he will be a great 3rd pair d man.

i think Shane will be good for us this year. he will be a great 5/6 guy for sure. I can see Alberts heading to the minors this season and used for depth in case. Im hoping one of our younglings will emerge to take a 6 spot
