Thread: Detroit Red Wings signed Filip Hronek (3 Years / $4,400,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Hronek is one of those guys like Bertuzzi, Jokiharju, and Brady Tkachuk who get largely overrated based on the fact that they are some of the only decent to good players on their otherwise dog **** teams. He has struggled immensly in the role he has been given and desperatly needs help and a reduction in ice time and QoC. I do like him though and think he could be a reasonable 2nd pair/#4 guy in this league if he were developed properly but Detroit just gave him near top-pair bridge deal money. Absolutly insane.

Good for him I suppose. If I were being thrown to the wolves like he has been I'd want to get paid too.

The most worrying trend here though is that he is on the Ristolainen path right now and every effort needs to be made to steer him clear of that. He really is getting crushed out there.</div></div>

What... Brady Tkachuk is extremely good and the fact that he has been good on a pretty bad team just highlights how good he is. Same with those other players you listed, just obviously to a lesser extent since they aren't nearly as good as Tkachuk

Thread: (OTT/TBL) - Gáborík, Nilsson for Coburn, Paquette
Sens lose some dead money (Gaborik’s 80% insured and obviously never playing again, so about $615k actual dollars saved), plus Nilsson, who is still fighting concussion issues (not sure if he’ll play again at this point) for two cheap guys who are still solid NHLers on expiring deals that should garner interest at the deadline and bring in more picks (Paquette’s young enough to maybe be worth keeping as a 4C for a few years too). Plus a 2nd of course. At the end of the day it’s two cheap NHLers and a 2nd for two LTIR contracts, both of which will probably not play for the Lightning this year. Dunno how this can be seen as anything but a win for Ottawa, a 2nd is a hefty price to dump two guys making a combined 3.35mil (2nd allowed NYR to dump the 5.7mil Staal) and they dumped some actual dollars for guys who won’t play in the process.
