Ah well. Caps look really solid for next season, especially down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Teemu Selanne has been on the fence about returning to the Ducks for another year (perhaps in a diminished role), or retiring at age 43.

invisibleairwaves Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 6x$6M is a heck of a lot for a goalie with one good season to his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Six-year deal for Crawford. :boo hiss:Not a fan? What other direction in goal would you suggest to the Hawks? Preferably one that doesn't involve "locking up" an average goaltender for a lot of years at a high price. This is a team that handed Ray Emery a 17-1 record last year. I'd rather they didn't pour a lot of money into the position or make a long-term commitment unless it's for an elite player, which Crawford doesn't look like to me. I don't hate the guy or anything, but we're hardly talking about Eddie Belfour in his prime here, and I'd hate for the club to be unable to resign good young position players down the line because of the Crawford contract. I think Hjalmarsson's deal will be up next year; I'd be happier to hear about an extension given to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only about 500K less than what Toews and Kane make. But he was our best player in these playoffs when our D had bad periods. I'm happy to have a steady goalie signed long-term. It's something we've had trouble doing lately. Now, if either Raanta or Carruth work out, we'll be in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisibleairwaves Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 5-year extension for Hjalmarsson, cap hit of $4.1M. I think that's pretty reasonable, especially compared to Crawford's deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
