NHL '10/'11 Thread.

Kovalchuk agrees to return to the Devils.

also hearing that TB is interested in Simon Gagne. i'd like him but am afraid of what we'd have to give up to get him...

Vinnie LeCavileir and two of Yzerman's rings.

 

[Mauser98k]

hearing now that Gagne is the newest member of the Lightning. waiting to hear who we traded for him

if he stays healthy our offense just got that much more impressive and intimidating.

 

[Mauser98k]

now it looks like defenseman Matt Walker and a fourth-round draft pick in 2011 for Gagne. if true, Yzerman is unbelievable. how does he keep unloading those sh*tty contracts?

I am not sure but like the deal

 

[Mauser98k]

so from Philly this off season we got Gagne and a second round pic next year and we sent them Meszaros, Walker and a 4th round pick next year. yeah, we robbed them.

 

[Mauser98k]

oh, and JESUS FU*KING CHRIST!

"ESPN reports Kovalchuk agreed to a 17 year, 150 million dollar deal.."

When healthy,(Gagne),, a great player... but I hope you get more than just a few games from him this year....

Gagne: "I was willing to waive my no-trade clause only for Tampa Bay, not for other teams''

Man the Devils are really crazy , Kovy is going to be 44 at the end of that contract.

It's going to be a front loaded contract obviously, but I have no idea why they decided to sign him for seventeen years. :dunno:

 

[lurkingdirk]

17 years? WTF? That's just ridiculous.

^ $11.5 million dollars. Would that be the highest in the league?

 

[lurkingdirk]

^ has to be mighty close, if it isn't. Who would draw more?

 

[gargaden]

A very un-devil like player getting way too much $$$$$ ,,, this can't be good for the team...:dunno:

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

Wikipedia says Lecavalier makes ten million, which makes no sense at all. New Jersey is a bunch of suckers if they think Kovy is worth that much.

 

[Vlad The Impaler]

Not wishing any ill on Kovalchuk but I hope this blows up in their face.

You're just angry because this means the Devils are going to better than the Rangers for another decade.

Yep, I'm thinking about throwing in the towel right now!

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

You'd probably save yourself a decade of crushed hopes.

Ovechkin makes 9.5 mil/year
Crosby makes 8.7 mil/year

Kovalchuk definitely not worth that contract. That contact will be the demise of the Devils. He's not even a good fit for the team.
