am i the only one who thought Jussi played very poorly the entire 2nd half of the season, and that $3M a year is obscene?

7/1/2011 10:53:24 AM

yes, you are the only one

7/1/2011 11:04:26 AM

He's put up 117 pts the last 2 seasons. That alone should tell you he's worth $3m

7/1/2011 11:05:34 AM

Any random speculation on a backup goalie? Gerber, Legace, and John Grahame are all available for recycling

Come to think of it, so is Belanger for a recycled 4th line center.

7/1/2011 11:21:56 AM

give us the MOOSE

7/1/2011 11:22:37 AM

I'd have kept legace.

7/1/2011 11:27:16 AM

k just checking.

carry on.

JR, i am impress

7/1/2011 1:35:56 PM

Brent won 52% of FO's last year and kills penalties well. Solid signing to center the 4th line.

7/1/2011 1:37:17 PM

Also, to make Jussi's deal look better, FLA signed Scottie Upshall to a 4yr/$14m deal.

7/1/2011 1:38:18 PM

To continue making Jussi's deal look better, Radim "I shoot at the crest" Vrbata just got 3 yrs at $3m per from PHX

7/1/2011 2:32:46 PM

Brian Boucher is our new backup

7/1/2011 2:47:27 PM

Pretty stoked about Tim Brent.

He's a solid fourth liner and blocks shots like no ones business. He's good in the faceoff circle and put up 20 points. Was what, a -3 in Toronto playing on the 3rd / 4th line? Not shabby.

Plus it's under $1Mil. Good job JR.

I hate that he makes good deals like Jussi and Brent days after going out and signing LaRose.

7/1/2011 2:47:59 PM

Just re-signed Tlusty. 1 year, $525k.

7/1/2011 2:57:11 PM

Brian Boucher? Really?

7/1/2011 3:31:58 PM

Now we can pull the trigger on a trade for Hemsky

7/1/2011 3:32:01 PM

Boucher seems like a pretty solid sign. I don't like Tlusty being back though, would've rather had a 4th line of Brent, Bodie, Samson/Bowman. As long as Tlusty stays on the 4th line I don't mind it, but I feel like Maurice is gonna give him every chance he can to stick on the 3rd line and again give Brandon Sutter no wingers to work with.

7/1/2011 3:32:44 PM

So who is JR gonna trade for Cole next March?

7/1/2011 3:34:34 PM

^
Damn, meant to post ibtcolegetstradedback.

7/1/2011 3:45:44 PM

also, calling my shot: Boychuk + 2nd to EDM for Hemsky

7/1/2011 3:47:06 PM

7/1/2011 4:10:23 PM

^For who? Ponikarovsky hasn't played here.

7/1/2011 4:24:20 PM

He has for Maurice, but still doesn't fit the schema. Should be interesting, but damnit can we just go ahead and trade for Hemsky to give Staal a legitimate winger and to keep Skinner separate from him so we are not a 1 line team.

7/1/2011 4:30:48 PM

I know, it was just easy to call him on being wrong this page.

7/1/2011 4:32:52 PM

Lol Ponikarovsky...if he's good we shall call him Poni Boy

I love the Facebook page. It brings the lolz. Cole is a traitor, he took the money that Montreal gave him. Shit if I had the choice of 18 Million over 4 years or whatever Carolina offered. I'd take the 18M if it is more than Carolina. I mean can you blame the guy? It's a business first and foremost.

Plus the comments on spending money on a big name, we don't have money to do so. Our fans are delusional.

7/1/2011 4:40:40 PM

Fleischmann signs in Florida for $18 million over 4 years... Jokinen's agent must be getting angrier by the minute.

7/1/2011 4:59:05 PM

every facebook comment has me laughing and at the same time

I especially loved this one:

Anthony Stewart is a Cane 2 year deal $800k and $1 mil

7/2/2011 2:42:18 PM

Anyone keeping track of how much we have left in the piggy bank?



I wonder if we could squeeze in Selanne for a year or two now that he's on the way out in Anaheim

[Edited on July 2, 2011 at 2:45 PM. Reason : .]

7/2/2011 2:43:34 PM

I don't think Selanne is going to want to go to a team that isn't a legit contender, unless it's Winnipeg.

If Sutter signs for $2 million and Joslin for $750k, we have about $2.6 million left under a $50 million budget.

7/2/2011 2:47:24 PM

I've always been a fan of Anthony Stewart.

7/2/2011 2:52:14 PM

i like this signing

jr has acquitted himself well in my opinion

7/2/2011 3:04:46 PM

Soryal will probably spend most of the season in Charlotte.

Stewart I really like. I think he is going to keep that fucker LaRose off the top 3.

7/2/2011 3:10:18 PM

Welcome back, sweet prince

7/2/2011 3:16:37 PM

poor anson carter

i'll always hate him for that goal in greensboro

and hate him more for his absolutely useless stint here

7/2/2011 3:18:42 PM

^ i was at that game, that sukced.

along with his dive celebration.

Anyway, I like this signing.

Quote :

"Stewart was born in LaSalle, Quebec in 1985 the oldest of seven siblings, to Norman and Sue Stewart.[1][2] Norman, immigrated to Canada from Jamaica in 1974 in search of a better life. He mainly worked seasonal jobs such as landscaping or construction upon arriving in Canada.[3] His mother was a stay-at-home mom.[2] The family moved to Toronto, Ontario the year after Stewart's birth.[1] During his childhood the family was evicted from their home and moved to a subsidized shelter in a "rough" neighbourhood of Scarborough, Toronto.[3][1] Stewart began skating at the age of four and started playing hockey when he was five.[1] As a young hockey player Anthony and Norman would often walk to hockey games and practices, on one such occasion the two were walking in a "blizzard" when they picked up by a fellow hockey parent, Bob Ziemendorf, who was driving his child to the same place.[4] After the practice they were driven home by Ziemendorf who began driving the family on a regular basis and helped them financially with the cost of hockey and groceries.[1][4] During a particularly trying time for the family, Stewart moved in with Ziemendorf and his family for over a year and a half.[5] Stewart later stated that he believed without this help he would not have been able to succeed in making the National Hockey League (NHL).[1]"
