St.Louis right winger. Scored 32 points in 72 games last year. I have nothing against him really but what a fucking waste of 2.5 mill. For god sakes Cory Stillman was only 3.33 per year

When I first saw that, I was like "Hells yeah..." and then I remember it was Brad Boyes, not David Backes, that was pretty awesome in St. Louis...

BREAKING NEWS:
Darcy Tucker has agreed to a two year deal with the Colorado Avalanche worth $4.5 million.
We missed the boat again. Tucket at 2.25 is good. Cory Stillman at 3.33 was dope too. WDF are we doing!

There we have it. Gillis is either desperate or manning the fk up and doing w.e he possibly can to build a contender for next 2 seasons.
BAckes is young, and in 2 seasons, that 2.5 will be a steal.
Lots of potential..

Tucker for $2.25 is a decent deal but remember, it's not always just about money. Maybe they don't want to play here. So while we could easily pay the money, maybe they don't want to come to Vancouver.

My anger is purely out of frustration that every team in our division )except Calgary) is getting better yet we remain the same. Last year was like this too.

If I remember right, Wellwood + Sundin was a pretty good line combo for awhile.

$6,539,061 or more - Four 1st round picks | Young player for money and a second rounder...not a terrible deal. He's probably not worth $2.5 but with offer sheets, you want to overpay just enough so the team won't match. Good thing he only spent $2.5 though...I definitely would not trade a 1st and 3rd.

Auldy to Ottawa for $1m for 2 years. Good for him. Hope he gets his career back on track. You know Gerber isn't reliable enough to get all the starts.

I dont think Gillis wants to lock up 10 mil in salary for 6+ seasons.
