think he meant...MG could have garnered more for him

i thought that air hoff would have fetched us at least a 2nd rounder. Even the overly touted Jay Bouwmeester got a 1st or 2nd for his rights

4th round was probably the best he could get from a non-Western conference team or Stanley Cup contender

A 4th round pick? Basically gave their 4th round pick to try and sign him by Friday lol that would suck if isls dont make a deal lol

Get your facts straight. Florida got Leopold and a 3rd rounder from the Flames for Jaybo's rights

it's a 4th round because they prob know it's a small chance of signing him.

I still remember Dan Russell discrediting Gallagher on Sports Talk since the mid 90's. Makes me wonder why he's still relevant.

Yep, exactly.
They must have been aware that they arent going to be able to sign him so they got a 4th round pick for negotiating rights for a few days.


But no doubt gna miss Hoff, the highlight of Hoff was against LA, the game that clinched us the President Trophy. Farewell Hoff, you will be missed =(

if ehrhoff signs with detroit, he's stepping into another cup contending franchise. i think we can all recognize the wings as a perennial threat for the cup every year too. at the very least, going to detroit, ehrhoff would know he will be in the playoffs and with a good team.

That's for sure, we definitely don’t want Detroit picking him up. I could see Isle’s showing him the money. They have ALOT of cap space and need to spend big just to get to the basement. Isle's need hoff

If hoff is allabout the money, he wud go to isles no doubt, but if he wants to see another playoff opportunity, its wings. We;ll see july 1st, what wings has to offer

they have that big contract rafalski retired from to fill, and ehrhoff isn't the same type of player rafalski was, but with the slim pickings he's going to get paid well

I was at this game. Trust me...that goal was FUCKING EPIC. Last second goal.

Tony Gallagher has a job cuz he goes offside/out of line too often
admit it. most of us hates his guts. but even a nutcase like he is makes for great press becuz he is so out of line

On the radio, u can't help but listen to him shut up callers to the team1040.

As for his comments towards the BobMac. Thats a new low for him. its not like his credibility shoots up ten fold if he breaks a trade. Hell, Gman breaking a trade or wutever isn't even his bread n butter.

As for Ehrhoff, sad, but I've said this for a long time. A guy like Kevin Bieksa doesnt come by too often. Especially with the chemistry with Hamhuis. Guys like Ehrhoff come and go. He will command big money.

Be glad the Canucks managed to squeeze a lil something from him leaving. Be glad that happened rather than him walking away a UFA. We gave a bag of pucks for him.

if ehrhoff just wants more money, florida is finding way to use their cap lol
im sure they would gladly pay him 7mil

mike..thank me if you enjoy getting your rectum savagely penetrated

but yeah, i can see florida signing hoff

In for a thank

mike = bradford

definitely gunna miss hoff with edler on powerplays

Two 7+ million defenceman? That would be pretty stupid but then again I'm not a gm

Whats wrong with that? Florida has roughly 42M in cap space..they need to reach the minimum 48M minimum salary floor.

Never going to happen and I'm not sure if it is even feasible , but imagine Florida was able to sign Brad Richards and Ehrhoff with Stamkos going to July 1st with no contract and them getting him too.

Suddenly, Florida is a place players will want to play...

#nevergoingtohappen

Well...Florida is a tax-free state...with greedy players like Ehrhoff, no one will take his money :troll:

The New York Rangers are reportedly preparing to buy out the contract of team captain Chris Drury.

They can't though, since he's injured.. aren't those the NHLPA rules?

Seems like Drury and Sather have worked out some sort of agreement where Drury won't apply for a medical exception or grievance like Dan Cloutier did. Won't shock me if Drury is given a cushy front office job with the Rangers soon.

I'm betting Gillis is pulling another one of his slimey moves where,
"here I'll trade you away for a draft pick, but don't sign with them, and come july first we'll make the deal"
