He is in the coaches dog house, it was said during the game the other night and on TSN the next day.

Yeah Mcclellan was mad in that interview lol

As he is now, probably a 5.5-6 mil player. But I'd overpay for him
- chilliard77

Give him Risto money, they won't pay Lindholm more then Risto when they said no to his contract offer of 6.5 - 7 a year.

I'm not a fan of the "we can't pay him more than our other guy" mentality. You pay what you need to get the players you need. Risto will get over it.

Do you know anybody you work with that makes 30% more than you forvtge same work? Do you "get over it?" If you do, I don't want you on my hockey team.

I'd consider doing something like Ennis for Benoit Pouliot. They both have their issues but they both could use a fresh start.
- chilliard77

No, please God, no. Benoit-Balls is plain awful, he had one decent season and cashed in.

Hockey is a different animal. You get paid for how well you do.

I'm just looking for similar players to do a fresh start deal

Common misconception. Just because everyone knows everyone else's salary doesn't mean guys don't get pissed off at guys making more than them for not being as good.

Hockey players are people. People are bastards. Hockey players are bastards.

I still wouldn't blink at paying Lindholm 7 mil if it meant getting him on this team.

Neither would I, but we're not playing on this team. If I'm Risto and you just played hardball with me to the point that I signed just 1 days before the season started. I'd be more than a little pissed off that you're just going to back up the truck for this guy.

Winning will make him feel better, and Lindholm would go a long way to get winning

Is this Marty Biron on NHL tonight or just some other random French Canadian?

4 - 3 Sabres win tonight.

Goals by Reinhart, Okposo, Foligno and Risto

For those into prospect watch, Brett Murray's had a really good start to the USHL season.

Chad in goal for Calgary. That would piss him off

4-3 Flames in Shootout

Flames will go up by 3 in the first and Buffalo comes back.

You do bring up a good point. But I think it would just be a non-stop stream of:

Winning will make him feel better, and Lindholm would go a long way to get winning
- chilliard77

Agree with Part I
and Agree with Part II

but neither will make him forget the difference in their pay - and hold it against Murray (and maybe the club) - especially after this long summer of negotiating.
