Good lord, no!
If Homer was GM, Ryan Howard would still have 5 years left at 40 million per.

I don't know how Holmgren lasted so long in this business. He's never done anything right.

you're goddamn right it does. and he meant it. it's one thing i have going for me is that, even at 43, is my quickness. not as quick as i used to be, but it's my biggest asset.

And make him a lefty. He might not make big bucks, but Jesse Orosco pitched until he was 983 years old.

Holmgren was promoted due to his excellent tenure as flyers GM. If he didn't do a great job. He would not have gotten promoted

Without Holmgren, Lecavalier's great grandchildren would have needed student loans.

Price....7 years 217M for a guy that lost 7 straight playoff starts
- KINGKENZO

Not only is 217 mil insane for any athlete but its a (frank)ing PITCHER. At best he only helps you every 5th game. Good god.

I just cant believe the term isn't longer. When I saw 217 I for sure thought they locked him up for like 12 years.

No. To be honest, it's not very useful without other statistics as well. I haven't checked the Rangers in a while, but I remember Girardi and McDunnuh getting incredibly tough assignments earlier this year, while Yandle got to consistently play around in the offensive zone against bottom 6 players.

I'm not a Girardi fan, but I have to imagine his usage is playing a pretty large role in why he's one of the worst in the league.

- PhillySportsGuy


Usage isn't friendly to him, and McDonagh has had some bad-at least for him-performances over the past couple weeks. The other night the Rangers broadcast seemed to be hunting McDonagh might be nursing a nagging injury

Perhaps he'll buy the team a brand new custom bus for road trips.

Interesting rankings. I wonder if Chycrun slipped from 2nd to 5th because they feel his play has slipped or have the 3 forwards who've passed him just been that impressive?

The forwards have just been that impressive from what I can gather.
