    You'll like it for the majority of the deal but by the end you'll be bitter and wish he were gone, probably

    I don't like big goalie contracts, but that's because I'm a Flyers fan.

    Ya this contract is too long imo but when you're winnipeg you have to try and lock people up long term I guess.

    I think 6m a year might not be nearly as bad toward he latter of the deal, actually. We'll see though.

    I'm surprised that Tavares tribune letter didn't say "Islander fans, you want to know why I left? Laddy boy."

    He'll be 31. I'm not a fan of giving goaltenders more than 4 years term, in particular because of Cam Ward

    Cam Ward played 65+ games a year in front of an AHL defense for at least half of his contract

    They got maga Lehner, that's all they need to get a top 3 pick and make Lou look like a genius

    Like Vinny Hinny but if that’s the only casualty instead of Schmaltz or Top Cat then that is good stuff

    Chayka can be shit on all the time but he's one of the few gms smart enough to understand taking on players with bad deals for assets, classic hockey bro gms can't get their head around it

    I also find is amusing that there are people who actually don't find the whole situation suspicious

    yeah, he all of the sudden decided he couldn't play with this debilitating allergy when his salary was scheduled to plummet....hmmmmmmm

    sorry sorry, still pissed at the NHL for taking away our pick

    we could have had Larkin, Fiala, Vrana, Schmaltz, Tuch or Fabbri instead of Quenneville in 2014
