Thread: bruins interesting
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>I don't hate the Clifford signing, but you could get someone like Frederic to play a similar role.

On Krug, I'm wonder if we see something like a 4yr deal. I know the norm/default is to say this is when they get the 7/8 year deal, but even on a 4yr deal Krug is 32yr old when it expires. Being an OFD and PP threat means he should still be effective for another 3-4 years and at that point the cap will be significantly higher than it is now. IDK maybe something like 4yr/$6.5 per year is what I'm thinking if its not a long term deal. I know there will be many comments along the lines of "Krug will sign for 7 or 8" or "Krug will get more on the open market" and they maybe right. Just an alternative thought, where Krug is still making good money on a cup contender and could return home after 4 years (at which point DET should be contenders).</div></div>

Isn't it if the term goes down the $ goes up. For example if krug signed for 4yrs wouldn't he want to demand closer to 7-8 mil as opposed to signing at 7-8yrs and demanding 6-7 mil, like the oshie deal

Thread: Giddyup Bs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McGruff</b></div><div>Since when is a US$2.75M signing <strong>absurd</strong>? Really? And there's room for him under the current <em>real Boston cap</em> and your <em>FAN-TASY</em> squad above ^ ^ ^ ^

OK...
The benefit to BOS if he stays is as follows:
* JM is decent playoff depth if injuries/suspensions abound.
* When inserted in the lineup he's been just fine because the team and coaches play in a system.
* On expansion there's two things: a) he can be dangled with other bait to get the STARBUCKS to <em>NOT</em> pick a desired player (his contract helps them get to the 'floor' and is not that bad), or b) if a D-man (eg: LD M. Grzelyck) is plucked then JM is NHL-proven especially if a replacement kid (Vaak-Zboril...) isn't ready., and
* He can always be waived/traded later if $$$ becomes a team-issue (highly doubtful given DS's use of the $$$ so far)...

EDIT/PS:
When he was signed a few years back now -
1) Chara was going to retire soon right - we all thought so, and
2) BOS had a lot of D-Man kids in Grz-Carlo-Mac (and Mac had issues staying healthy), so a vet was a good add...

You see the "Longview synopsis" is: Hell of a signing boys....</div></div>

This is spot on gj

Thread: Fin Buff get in shape and want to play
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bsilk18</b></div><div>While I PERSONALLY dont agree with signing Buff or bringing in Palmeri, that is MY opinion.

SO:

GREAT ACGM!
All good contracts (though krug gets a year less, we dont want 37 year old krug for 6.75 mil)
Good lines!
Good trades! (althoughyou can probably take JFK out of the Devils deal. Now Palmeri is a 1year rental so lower value)
Awesome job.

My only question: Where is studnicka? He will likely crack the roster, they dont wanna keep him in the AHL forever</div></div>

I disagree, i think it's only right to keep stud in the ahl for now bc there's no room for him. Bruce won't play him on the wing cause they want him to be a pure C, but to do that you have to push coyle to the wing and he's not as effective/comfortable on the wing. I'd rather keep him as 1C down in PRO and whenever a C goes down in BOS, he gets the call. I don't see how 1 more yr in the ahl will hurt him. He'll get his shot at full time 3C minutes when krech leaves.
