Loading ...OK, could somebody please tell me why Ragnarok happened if teams are going to be signing guys to stupid money?
I mean, seriously. Willie Mitchell? Kim Johnsson? Nolan fucking Baumgartner? Why are they getting that kind of money? HOW CAN YOU JUSTIFY THAT KIND OF MONEY, PEOPLE? What, did the Lightning pay Andy Delmore like $3Million per or something? I thought The Serene Master of Malik-fu was overpaid at 2.5 bills per–but now? Hey Jimmy, can we get him back? Seriously, I’m asking here. He can even have #8, since Cully broke the Curse on it (and is now gone).
And in a rather nice “Unity of Rings” deal, Rob Blake has gone back to the Los Angeles Kings to finish out his career. Best of luck, d00d. You’ll need it.
More later after I’ve had time to digest everything.
The money’s nutso but the sinkholes these players are choosing is baffling. McKee to St.-Louis and Jovanovski to the desert dog pound tells me it’s money over the chase of Cup rings for those guys. Either that or players want the perk of longer summers. Chara to Boston will raise eyebrows and may even determine if Gary Bettman has a pulse.
