Whoops, I guess I must have been thinking about Steve Chaisson. 35 points for a right winger is not as impressive as 35 points for a D-man. He's still big and could turn into a power forward but you can't build your team on Wingers.

No one said we were building around him....

@SunGarrioch: Milan Michalek has agreed to a three-year extension at $4 million per-season. #Sens
- Cup 06

I'm ok with that...I like
michalek...he looked a lot better towards the end of the season...I would have liked a little cheaper...but it's not bad

They offered more to Michalek than Hemsky.

well that sucks.........would have liked less term and less money

On behalf of Gordie Jr and myself:

We told you so.

I'm ok with the return. I was hoping for the 1for1 scenario but fit didn't pan out.

he might....but it was pretty much common knowledge that he wanted to go to st louis.

he might love it in dallas, and extend there.....but i think st louis was the only place murray would have been dealing him with the understanding that he wasn't a rental

If Stl shells out big money for stastny, i don't see how Spezza fits in there. Pay stastny big money to play 3rd line? I think he'll like it here

What a terrible deal for Edm!!!! Benoit pouliot is brutal!!!!

Cuz he doesn't play for the Habs? Beat it troll.

2nd line is gonna be big and physical next year

chiasson - zibby - michalek

i like michalek, but that seems like a bit of an overpayment

Not until today. If Hemsky wanted to stay he would've received a similar offer. He was lukewarm on Ottawa since he was traded here. He never intended on staying here.

oh, definitely doesn't if that's where stastny goes.

i think there's a good chance he goes UFA

Yeah, me too, but it was always a pipe dream. We were never getting a very good young player 1-for-1.

Young exciting team, low media pressure, not the go to guy. I think he'll love it.

I think 90% of the deals signed today will have that sentiment.

it just seems like a reactionary signing....after they lost out on pouliot, they threw too much money at michalek.

Good ,took 700k more but term doesnt kill us

It's decent

if your division could stop loading up Dallas, that'd be great

The team was intending to have them both. It wasn't reactionary.

Pouliot and Fayne deals were both good.

I don't know the argument for signing Michalek to 3x12 other than 'he likes to play here'.

I see another piece coming today.

Way too much money for Milan. Another mediocre guy taking up cap room on a team struggling financially.

Poor start for Bryan today.

Yeah, it'll still be the defence that's the achilles heel of this team

yowza.....the blues paid stastny 7 mil
