He makes more than Price! That's crazy!

Friction in the room. How will Captain Patches handle his first BIG challenge?

He's a 60pts player. And one of the best 2-way players on the team... if not the league.
- Pecafan Fan

probably the price to pay for short term deal, as well as taxes, and etc.

They chose to keep him and they paid the actual market price.
Cue all the comparisons with other 7M players in the league

6.

7M and then 5M. So a cap hit of 6M.

scored an empty netter while the captain was on the ice

didn't even make a pass...instead he made sure the puck would hit the net while the captain had a front row seat.

Contract isn't a steal but it's good value.

Seems a tad high, but he deserves it.

Just for putting up with poopty wingers all those years alone.

meh, I thought they'd trade him.

But he doesn't bother me.

In? Well Spidey, I was walking around and I thought this place sold coffee. Walk in and and boom door shut behind me and this place can't be opened from the inside!

That's why you are here 24/7/365?

- Pecafan Fan

I don't believe they'd get his value back in a trade

Can't replace what he does (everything) very easily.
- hscesq

Can't at all. I'm verry happy to have him around for another 2 years. Surprised it's a 2 year extension

Plekanec deal does NOT include a no-trade or a no-move, so straight up deal

Good ole' sign-and-trade

He might as well have been talking to you.
- hscesq

also agreed

- Pie

And there's absolutely no one in this organization that can replace him.

Smart move, takes him to the year when he turns 36.

Offer him 1 or 2 years more at considerably less, if there's any gas left in the tank.

I'm here more than you. Mine is 24/7/365 and 1/4.

- Pecafan Fan

exactly, while future assets would be nice, I think now is a better time to buy roster guys as opposed to moving them.

Gets more popular every year.
- hscesq

yes and in case they need the cap they can trade him to a team looking to hit the salary floor

919 Sport right now is LOLZ!

Nice i got here just in time for the match between peanut and SPIDEROCK
