habs rule Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 He turned down at the age of 35 3 years 4.75 million looking for 4 years @ 6.0 million. Is there a GM this nuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Probably not that nuts but I could see 3 @ $5M from a desperate team. Or maybe he just wants to leave the Islanders and will wind up taking a similar or lesser deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 There is no way 35 year old + should be signed for more than one or at the most 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew the Islanders wanted Tavares to have the C but he also likely wants a Cup and knows the Blackhawks will be looking to boost their PP over the summer.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 He'll get a fat contract from some desperate clown. Maybe not that fat, but fat enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nihilz Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Im sure the Isles coulda offered him 5.5 and he still woulda walked. He wants to be in a win now situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'm pretty sure you have to be a little bit insane to sign with the Islanders in the first place... I think Streit wanting out is actually him getting his mind back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Philly, Pittsburgh, Washington or New York is gonna be playing golf in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that has nothing to do with the franchise being run by cheap, cap-circumventing kooks from the top down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible 5 teams can make the playoffs in one division and 3 in the other... similar to the CFL crossover rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you read that? I've read otherwise. Four teams per division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Where did you read that? I've read otherwise. Four teams per division. He's right. Top three per division get in no matter what, most points will decide the final two spots. The top three teams in each division will make up the first 12 teams in the playoffs. The remaining four spots will be filled by the next two highest-placed finishers in each conference, based on regular-season points and regardless of division. It will be possible, then, for one division to send five teams to the postseason while the other sends three. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=660138 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 He didn't get $6 million but he got the 4 years he was looking for at $5.25 M per year (plus a limited no-trade clause) from Philly. Suffice it to say, he didn't lose his mind after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
