Tony DeAngelo got $4.5 x 2 from the Islanders as well, another one that seems lofty for a player who was basically blackballed from the league a couple of years ago. Defencemen aren't going to be cheap. Happy for Kulak, a quality guy who always plays hard. Still satisfied though with the return we got for him (a 2nd round pick which turned into you know who).

GHT120 Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Strange deal for a "rebuilding" team ... guess they are re-tooling ... or setting up another trade Quote

Fanpuck33 Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Werenski and Marchenko both want out of Columbus. I take back every bad thing I ever said about Jarmo. The rot is so deep that even a respected, successful GM like Waddell (who built much of Carolina's Cup winner, despite an owner who made him sign Kotkianiemi) can't put out the dumpster fire. In fact, it has only gotten worse. Quote
DON Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Habs Qualify Eight Players, Non-Tender Three – HabsWorld.net Veleno is obviously the most notable of the three being let go. While his offer was only $990,000, it also carried eligibility for salary arbitration. With Veleno playing in 367 career NHL games, that would have yielded some considerably pricier comparables had his case gone to a hearing. Those comparables would have cost a lot more than Montreal was likely willing to pay to re-sign him, resulting in the non-tender. There is nothing stopping the team from signing him after the fact, either, although they may want the open roster spot.

Commandant Posted June 30 Posted June 30 I could see us still re-signing Veleno, just to a contract avoiding the Arb rights He did get better as the season went on and was good as a 4th liner/PKer. Quote

Its being 36 years old and having a number of injuries the last few years which have affected his play. Quote
