Tuukka only got a 1 year extension?

Thats crazy. That tells me he wants out. He could have easily got more and longer term. They probably wouldnt give him a lot of money if he only wanted one year because he wanted to leave

 

I think Thomas's shenanigans had a play in this

 

who knows. All I know is when a player signs one year theres usually a big disagreement or something, and at 3.5 when Schneider is at 4 and Pavelec is about 4. Theres something going on there IMO

 

that "report" states that because Thomas is sitting out the last season of his contract, Rask used it to gain leverage over the Bruins in terms of money. If he has a stellar season, he will get a big extension and more money.

 

its still VERY risky to sign one year. Most agents like to stay away from them

 

true

 

Bingo! ...likely something less than amicable

Leverage? Looks like either his lever was too short or he forgot about the fulcrum. Perhaps other options are on his mind...

 

Broduer to test out Free Agency? can't imagine him retiring as anything other than a Devil, he's the face of that franchise. Would be sad to see him in another jersey

 

i know what you mean, but I'd love to see him in montreal colors, mentoring Price to be the next great one

 

WOOOT

The New York Rangers have re-signed backup goaltender Martin Biron to a two-year contract. Multiple media reports, including TSN, ESPN New York and the New York Post, say the deal is worth a total of $2.6 million.
"Very excited to be back in NYC for the next 2 years!!" Biron said on his Twitter account. "See you all in September."
Biron could have become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
Biron, 34, was 12-6-2 with a .904 save percentage, a 2.46 goals-against average and two shutouts in 21 games for the Rangers this past season, giving New York a reliable backup that allowed coach John Tortorella to give starter Henrik Lundqvist more rest. The reduced workload helped Lundqvist win the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goaltender.
In 500 career regular-season games, Biron is 228-188-26 with a 2.61 GAA and a .911 save percentage. He has spent the last two seasons with the Rangers after playing for Buffalo, Philadelphia and the New York Islanders.

 

You complained he was a bum every game last year ^^^^^

yes at times he was but much better then say weeks

He's a great commentator on Hockey Night in Canada

 

keep him with your cupless wonder status

 

every time I think of Kevin Weekes I remember Arturs Irbe. I used to really like watching him play goal as a kid

 

And now....along with the zero 'Stanley Cups' that the 'nuks own....they have exactly zero 'Justin Schultz's'!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Were they trying to get him ?

 

yah they were trying, but they know better than to promise him his bonus just to pull in a UN proven young defenseman, lots of college studs out there that do jack shit
