leedsunited Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Guerin inks two-year deal with IslandersThe New York Islanders today signed veteran forward Bill Guerin to a two-year contract worth $4.5 million a year. Guerin played in 77 games with the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks in 2006-07, recording 36 goals. i'm putting forth the motion to strip the isles of the long island logo/uniforms and replace it with the fisherman, until they earn the right to wear the LI logo/unis again.Why inflict the painful sight of those eyesores on us non-Islander fans? What did we do to deserve that kind of punishment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gojetsgo Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Looks like Paddock is the new Sens head coach. Sens fans better hope that all his suckiness was stored up in that mustache he used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMUBrent Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hasek, Hudler re-sign with Wings Dominik Hasek signed a one-year deal for $2 million with another $2 million in incentives which depend on playoff success. Jiri Hudler signed a 2-year, $1.015 million deal with the Wings as well.Not exactly the most exciting offseason for Wings fans, but it should be a cinch to win the Central.

jkrdevil Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The Sabres matched. So add Thomas Vanek to the list of players making about the same as Joe Thornton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Thomas Vanek has signed an offer sheet with the Edmonton Oilers. 7 years 50 million. If Buffalo does not match they get 4 first round draft picks.So Edmonton would have to give Buffalo 4 future first round picks? How exactly would Buffalo get 4 first rounders if they hadn't matched?It's crazy that a third year player will be making that much. I don't think the owners had this in mind during the lockout. This never used to happen before, did it?

leedsunited Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Wow Lowe scrwwed Buffalo over huge. Made them pay big bucks for Vanek.LOL! I like that Lowe essentially gave it to them ROUGH.Rumours are flying that Darcy pleaded with Lowe not to bid on Vanek - and he did anyway. Broke the bank on him, too. Ballsy, ballsy, ballsy.

Domi28 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 How exactly would Buffalo get 4 first rounders if they hadn't matched?Buffalo would have received Edmontons 1st round picks over the next 4 years. I'm pretty sure no restricted FA has signed with another team so this has never happened. In fact, I think this is only the 2nd or 3rd case of an offer sheet being signed. The other being Fedorov with Carolina. Sakic with the Rangers might have been another. It doesn't make other GM's in the league happy. The Flyers did it with Ryan Kesler too. Man my memory is getting bad in the old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man my memory is getting bad in the old age.It happened when Scott Stevens jumped from Washington to St. Louis in 1990. Washington got the next 5 of St. Louis' first round picks. And in 1991 Stevens was sent to New Jersey as compensation for the Blues signing Shanahan as a restricted free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domi28 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 That's right!! I think that's before it was a set compensation, and the 5 picks pretty much stopped anyone else from doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Isles sign Mike Comrie 1 year $3.375 million.I think you can do worse than Mike Comrie. Lotta money though, but the Isles have lost so much salary they probably need to spend some to make the minimum at this point. If only they had thought to give diPietro even more money over the course of his 15 year contract...

STL FANATIC Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 The Blues (somewhat through fault of there on with tampering and whatnot) got killed with stuff in the 90's.We had to give up a player when we signed Keenan!

I'm impressed with Lowe for doing it, though I dont like the escalation in salaries it provides, such as Kesler making 1.9 million courtesy of the offer sheet philly slung at him the other year.
