that's just stupid

There needs to be a max term limit in the new CBA. To prevent contracts from adding 3-5 extra years at salaries 50% less the AAV.

Even I can't view all the pages lately, didn't see it

No long term deal to excede the age of 35 and must carry the avg of the highest years if any year drops more than 70% from one year to the next.

The Ehrhoff contract is the only one that violates what I'm proposing.

Leino and Myers contracts are reasonable, even with the signing bonuses.

It shouldnt, they produced this year for stretches

If Hodgson doesn't get top 6 mins, he will become a problem.

2/3 of that line had pathetic production this year...and...

Hold on. Check it.

Foligno - Hodgson - Doan
Vanek - Grigorenko - Ryan
Leino - Roy - Pominville
Tropp/Gerbe - McCormick - Kaleta/Scott


better?

If Hodgson doesn't get top 6 mins, he will become a problem.

The makeup of this team, the way I see it, is 3 lines that can get similar 5-on-5 minutes. There are strengths to each line. Ruff would likely play each line more minutes than the others in certain games.

Foligno Hodsgon Doan together would be a physical scoring line.

Vanek Grigo Ryan would be a scoring line

Pommer Roy Leino would be a solid two way line.

Vanek/???/Doan
Ryan/???/Pommer

Hodgson has to get top 6 minutes or like you said he'll start whining and if roy is on the team he'll get those minutes too.

They hardly played together as a line this season. But when they did play as a line, they saw a stretch of success.

Individually, yes, they didnt really perform to our expectations.

i would not be able to stomach watching that line...if they ever did manage to get the puck, the dipsy-doodling would drive me crazy

I don't think he'll be happy about it.

Do you?

Would you like to go from the 3rd line on a cup contender to the 3rd line on a 9th place team with centers who are of equal talent as you?
