only like a handfull of teams really have a TRUE #1 dman, the rest are much much worse off than we are now, and the majority of teams with a true #1 arent that well rounded

i dont know why these Filatov rumors are so rampant, do you really think MG is gonna dump a depth dman for a russian with a bad attitude? he aint coming here period.

Islanders offer Kovalchuk 100 million contract....

punkwax 07-02-2010 10:38 PM

^ Bahahahah. Islanders love pulling dumbass moves it seems.

Hondaracer 07-02-2010 10:52 PM

islanders will be bankrupt before they have to payout any long term contracts

Not really racist! 07-02-2010 10:53 PM

ilya is smarter than that

he'll get paid more in the KHL

hsh4 07-02-2010 10:56 PM

dont think ilya wants to go to a loosing team

d1 07-02-2010 11:02 PM

Do the Islanders never learn? What a dumbass franchise. I guess Yashin + Rick D. never taught them anything..

SkinnyPupp 07-02-2010 11:05 PM

I figured Kovalchuk was going to be the next Yashin, but I didn't think it would be THAT similar! :lol

DsZ24 07-02-2010 11:31 PM

islanders are trying to outshine the flames for dumbass moves this off season lol

orange7 07-03-2010 02:00 AM

each time I think about the flames signing olli, I can't help but laugh my ass off.

He's been proven that he can't play well in the flames system.

I'd take Ladd over Maholtra anyday of the week. We have a 3rd line center as far as I'm concerend and his first name is Cody. I'd take Ladd at 2.5 for 3 years over a 30 year old Maholtra any day.

It's a mute point anyway since Ladd is no longer a Hawk and we've already given our money to Maholtra. I was just saying it would have been a great way to really fuck them over. It was a perfect storm since they were up against the cap and either would have had to give him a way for almost nothing or sign him and be stuck with him paying more then then they wanted to pay, lose lose for them and win win for us either way.

you have a point with perfect storm comment, but again ladd isn't a center and doesn't take draws.
you really think our rookie center is going to be able to come in and immediately help us on faceoffs? even crosby was abysmal on draws in his first season.
and again with the versatility of malhotra, you give hodgson some experience there and still know that there's a veteran shutdown presence every night.
i'm sure MG looked at the options and realized a strong centerman will help us a lot more than revenge on a team that beat us twice, a team that is completely stripped down anyways.

canucks hit with a 90k cap penalty. hawks hit with 4m, ouch.


http://www.capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=1048
hamhuis gets 9m in signing bonus!

for those wondering, this is from capgeek twitter:
Signing bonuses: The player gets his signing bonus cash as a lump sum (often on July 1) instead of spread over the season.
Cap hit = (total base salary + total signing bonuses + total performance bonuses) / contract length.

Bad attitude? Try reading some of his interviews. He was loaned off to CSKA Moscow last year because he barely got ice time due to Hitchcock and he simply asked the GM if he could play one more year in Russia to further his development. He didn't demand or request it, he simply asked and the GM agreed with him. He's got loads of talent and has said in interviews he is playing in North America this year no matter what. All of that aside we're not getting Bieksa for him. Filatov is worth way more then a overpaid mistake-prone #4-5 d-man which is exactly why Columbus asked for Ehroff for Filatov.

Their owner Charles Wang is loaded, not happening. Atlanta offered Ilya the same contract 100 mill for 10 years, he didn't accept that one. Don't see him accepting this one either.

it seems Kovalchuk's just one of those guys with loads of talent, but feels money is more important.

LOL that would be an even more epic fail by the Ducks GM then the Oli Joikinen signing

shawn79 07-03-2010 10:38 AM

We cant afford bobby ryan. Rather trade bieksa for ladd to atl since he's rfa and unsigned. Both player brings physical present
