Zubov was way too old imo. He looked awful this past season but he sure had some great seasons in the NHL.

nobody wanted to take a chance on an aging blue liner like Zubov. He just came off major surgery and to spare himself the embarrassment he opted for the KHL.
What do you guys think Jagr is going to do? comeback to the NHL?

towards the end of the season and playoffs, he played great. he MADE that third line.
i agree he's a soft player that won't lay down the hits, but he's got some nice hands. i dont' think many assholes could play like he can
and btw its wellfed :P Quote:

We need a puck moving, non-glassy defenceman. PERIOD!!!!!!! |

I think some of you guys are being too hard on Wellwood. Sure he was fat and out of shape, and was put on waivers twice during the season, but in the playoffs he played pretty damn hard. The line with him Raymond and Bernier was pretty solid. Give the guy a break and give another assesment of him after a couple months on this year.
As for our puck moving D man, I think that they're gonna try to turn edler into that guy. Edler to me is a very solid defenceman with a big shot who can fill the role. I can't wait till the season starts in 6 weeks

According to Sportsnet, Hudler signed a $5M/2yr contract with Detroit.
But according to TSN, he signed with the KHL team already lol.
If sportsnet is true, Det basically traded Hossa for Hudler.

Arbitration awarded him 2 year deal worth over 5 mil.
KHL registered his contract to the Moscow team.
Try rereading. Quote:
Detroit Red Wings forward Jiri Hudler was awarded a two-year deal worth over US$5 million in arbitration on Friday, a source told Sportsnet.
Hudler, drafted by the Red Wings in 2002, was claimed by the KHL on Thursday when the Russian league registered his two-year contract in Moscow.
The KHL previously filed Hudler's contract July 9, but held off on the deal pending negotiations between the two leagues.
Hudler made $1.15 million with the Red Wings last season, and he reportedly turned down Detroit's offer of $3 million per year for up to five years.
He had 23 goals and 34 assists and was plus-7 in 2008-09, playing in all of Detroit's 82 games.

And after that he's only getting like 4 or 5 mill for the rest of the contract?

I guess it's against the rules to negotiate a player's retirement for the sake of circumventing the CBA?

If you give a player $6M/year for 6 years, say... that's a $6M hit against your cap every year, and you end up paying a total of $36M.
If you split it over 12 years and front-load it, though... say you make it $7M for the first three years, $4M for the next three, and $500k for each of the last six years. That still totals up to $36M, but the cap hit is now only $3M/year, and the guy can play good for six years and then just sit on his thumbs and still get a decent annual salary (unless he retires).
