I think he'd prefer going for 6 or 7 years at 7M-7.5M, less stress about having to perform and get another contract. Plus he's secure in case of a a serious injury or sharp decline.

I think he'll get it from someone.

He might settle for a lockout proof deal depending on term & total $$$’s

Agreed, he's no longer in his prime.
- Nucker101

No argument there.
I'd have still traded Goldobin, Chatfield and a couple 2nds for him.

okay, my bad then I did misunderstand you.


but to answer, I think he's says thanks for the dinner, Jim, cya later.

I just went through Cap friendly and I wonder how many teams actually need a 7x7 Dman and the answer is a lot fewer than you may think. I would say maybe Columbus
maybe Ottawa Maybe Buffalo but not much more . I am not sure any would commit 7x7

Gardiner’s back injury has me offering 4-5 yrs. say 4/7m

Never underestimate UFA craziness. I could see Buffalo doing it, they’re so desperate to upgrade that defense.

Lou with the Isles poaching from his Leafs?

Ottawa
CBJ
NYI

Plus i'm sure many other teams could accommodate that salary by moving other pieces out afterwards.

Do you really see Ottawa paying 7 mil for a Dman long term?

Islanders already have 7 Dmen signed

CBJ have about 3 RFA young Dmen needing contracts.

I think the market is very small and there are like 40 UFA Dmen.

Like Weisbrod said the other day maybe the price will come down if there is no demand

Weisbrod’s interview is kind of funny in hindsight

I’m starting to think Burkie was right when he said he had no idea what Weisbrod actually does

I was looking at the point production from the Dmen Myers was the highest with 9 G 31 pts. He is the only one asked to come in to talk .

So who would you rather the guy that plays 60 games or the guy that plays 80 ?

How so?

The talk about trading up or down, calls to take on contracts from cap hell teams.

Benning flat out said “no” when asked if he was in the Marleau talks, he had zero interest.

Gardiner has been healthier than Myers throughout his career so I’ll pick him.

Sample size.

Just hung out w Quinn for a bit in Yaletown. Asked him point blank about the Miller trade. He said “love it”

These kids wants solid vets to support them. I’ll provide some more info tomorrow when I’m sober

Good researching. Luv it when ppl say this n that then just move out players like it’s so easy to fit in the cap lol

Nothing about him i like.

As long as their are Jim Bennings in the world, someone will always bail another team out of their cap problems.
