JMMR Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I did not want him signed for 4 years but at 1.8 mill why the hell not. Great signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm fine with Moen for four years. He perfectly fits a need at LW for the bottom six and we all know that he sometimes out of nowhere becomes a goal scorer for a few games when we need an injury replacement in the top six Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 This is the sort of deal I like. We gave a little on term, he gave a little on salary. Fair and it won't cripple us if he declines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 A bit long, but the price tag is just fine. I like Moen on our team and I think that if our 4th line is more gritty, as per what Bergevin and Therrien are saying, he's a superb player to ice against Boston/Toronto/Philly/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Oh yeah, I wanted to add - this is a step in the right direction in terms of locking-up quality bottom-6 guys instead of treating them like disposable asswipes (also known as the 'Gauthier' method). Moen is a quality grinder who, like Mike McPhee, sometimes comes up with big goals. No reason not to lock him in. Nice to have a GM who won't be scrambling desperately to assemble his supporting players every season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCPetit Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 A bit long, but no too expensive. We definitely need him in the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Supposedly, Moen knew what some other teams were going to offer him and nothing was more than two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhfarber Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I was surprised when I saw the length of this deal and was worried about Moen's age at the end of the contract. Is anyone else surprised that he's only 30 this year? Feels like his been in the league forever. 1.85 million for a solid bottom 6 forward who clearly has the respect of the locker room is good work by MB.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 For some reason people think Moen won the Cup in his early 30s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy26 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 It's a longer contract for a bottom-6 guy, but I have no problem with it. Moen does everything for this team and I'm glad he's coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Eh.... I dunno... Moen had his best year in his contract year. His seasons before last were leaving a lot to be desired. I guess his PK experience is always valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMELINATOR Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Glad to see him back. Was on pace for career highs until he was injured last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 His seasons before last were leaving a lot to be desired. What do people expect out of a bottom six winger? 20 points, great penalty killing, consistently one of our hardest and most frequent hitters, willing to drop the gloves, block shots and fill in on the top six when we have injuries. What's left to be desired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankhab Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I like this signing, its about the best contract you can hope for for an experienced, capable 3rd-4th liner. Can't wait to see whats next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 He had a bit of an off year the season before last. That doesn't invalidate the fact that he was beast last season and perfectly good for us in 2009-10. The guy is proven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 His playoffs performance sucked last time we made them. I could be wrong but I remember him being great against the Pens and Caps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy26 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I could be wrong but I remember him being great against the Pens and Caps. That was two playoff appearances ago. I think Joe is referring to the series against Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I don't like the term, but can live with it IF AND ONLY IF he never play in the top 6 and preferably not even in the top 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForumGhost Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Exactly the type of guy you want to stabilize your bottom 2 lines, plus a great mentor. Like the term, like the cap hit. Bergevin has made a good first impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 That was two playoff appearances ago. I think Joe is referring to the series against Boston. Exact. I was expecting so much more from Moen against the mighty Bruins when we got beaten in 7. He was one of the most invisible players out there. I was like meh...

He was one of the most invisible players out there. I was like meh... Fair enough, but of course you have to assess a player based on his total body of work. For all we know Moen was playing through a groin pull or something. On balance, he is full value for the mere 1.8 mil he's getting paid.
