NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

exactly. sometimes bridges aren't the best way to go.

[Tony]

Typical black guy. Way to go, Chris!

[KapG]

Hahahaha Montreal. Subbans great and all but that's some serious cheddar.

Guess that's what you get when you wanna bridge contract guys like subban. Fucked that one up...

[Shoalzie]

Guys like Karlsson, Doughty, Keith, Pietrangelo and Ekman-Larsson bypassed the bridge deal and got paid. It's all about when your turn cash in comes up. Keith got a 13 year deal. Subban is able command more money because top end contracts are going up can't get more than 8 years. If you're going to pay guys like that...might as well pay them in their prime rather than when they're closer to 30 when they hit UFA status. That being said, I wouldn't have gone up to $9 million for him...maybe $8.5.

[KapG]

you could have locked him up long-term at a few mill cheaper if you didn't make him go with a bridge contract imo

[cliff11]

take note CBJ

[LeanMachine]

yea I don't see a bridge for RyJo. 6.5x8 would be a beauty

[Nick]

6.5? Guy had one good season... Seems premature to me.

[The BBKL Insider]

Id take him for 6.5 over the next 8 years on my bbkl team.

[bills09]

5.5 for 5 for ryjo imo

[LeanMachine]

its a gamble but i would rather not get PK'd if you know what I mean

[Bruyns]

Timonen's NHL career could be over. Blood clots in leg and both lungs.

#hockeyplayerproblems

all jokes aside... that's pretty bad... I wish him the best... and billy too that's rough

[Handsome&FairMike]

MDZ ups with flyers, 1yr, 1.3M... pretty solid deal, especially with timonen being questionable.

[KapG]

That's brutal billy. I can obviously feel ur pain lol

[bills09]

I guess mdz replaces timmo

[Tony]

MDZ for a 4th

[Arian The Insider]

Wow sucks for kimmo

[kyuss]
