I would offer two years right now. He will be a stud playing in Pittsburgh will all that talent.

As opposed to playing with Backstrom and Ovechkin?

I just hope Semin and Doan sign today so there can maybe be some movement on the trade front.

He'd likely play on Crosby's wing.

I personally think Malkin and Neal are better. I think Ovechkin is the most overrated player in the NHL. Backstrom is a stud, I like him a lot (he missed almost half the season).

Doubtful. I will be surprised if Homer makes no more moves before the season starts.

Mystery person on the ice now suited up as forward. No name or number and full cage. (via @davegisaac)

Jakey gon get his?

65 points last year. not that outrageous, really. one of league leaders in points per 60 mins even strength last year, too.

I guess when you look at the market and compare him to players with that production he falls right in line.

Jakey gon get his?

If anything that to me would lower Jakes....

4.5 for a guy coming off of back to back 50+ point seasons.. (51,65).

Jakey gon get his?

Voracek worries me. Hes so young and yet is going to command big money. I'm just really unsure on what is a fair price for him.

Yea, playing next to Stamkos and collecting assists.

I like Purcell, and don't think the contract is outrageous, but I wouldn't have given him that money.

If he gets $4.5 mill, then what is Hartnell going to demand?

Its about what I expected. I would have been more surprised if it was lower than if it were higher.

I think he gets another 1 year deal at 3.75 and tries to cash in next off season.

Thing is every time a contract comes up a player wants a raise. Thats a significant raise for Jake from last year if he gets 3.75M.
