Yeah, the comments were more about Sabres fans who bashed the hell out of signing Connolly for 2 years, to fill the space at centre, and insisting that using that money, and signing Leino for a full SIX years, was a much smarter signing.

The fact that he had 73 CAREER points was mentioned more than once, but Sabres fans insisted it was a shrewd move.....

The answer to their center problems, he was.
Played center in college, he did.

bad deal no doubt.

but in 5 years that 4.5 wont seem so bad with the cap continuing to rise (if he starts to produce even somewhat)
- Crimsoninja

I don't think the cap will rise forever. The new CBA could have an enormous effect on how it's calculated.

HOW did Leino get that contract? That is absolutely baffling. He must have been stunned.

Technically the cap should continue to rise every year. As there is inflation every year, ticket prices will naturally go up, ensuring that more revenues come into the league. If the league could last through the latest "double dip" recession, there isn't any reason to believe it will ever dip or cease climbing.

The only way this changes is if the new CBA completely restructures everything. I somehow doubt the NHLPA is going to let that happen though.

Cammalleri was the biguest loser on the team and had the worst attitude out of all of them.

He sure did not care on the ice, where it matters most. At this point, he was a cancer.

who is the new biggest loser on the montreal canadiens since cammalleri is gone now?

That's easy...

Rene Bourque!

Seriously... Bourque and Gomez on the same line is laughable.

I am much happier Bourque is no longer a Flame. Cami is just a bonus.

Hell, I would've been happy with a bag of pucks back... or a single puck even.

Yeah, I'd hate having a guy who scored 27 goals in back to back seasons. That's horrible. Glad we got your team's scraps.
