    60 pt on a team all by himself...now he has talent around him

    dont forget that little tidbit
    Absolutely. Prob get paired up with say Richards, Gaborik(when healthy).

    Just remember this though. Torterellas system. He will be told to help out in the D zone and put his body on the line to block shots for Henrik. That definitely will affect his numbers.


    he kills penalties as evidenced by all his sick shorthanded goals
    Killing penalties is completely different from playing in a demanding, defense-first orientated system which Torterella demands his players buy into.

    He wants players, even star players, giving up their bodies to cut down on scoring chances on Lunqvist.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    This isn't good.....right now. But I was 50/50 he was coming here in the first place.

    Even if we were to land Ryan(another big question mark), it still doesnt replace the hole on D that stands from Carle leaving.

    I wish i had some. I didn't think a team that only grossed 24 mil, could sign a guy who will be paid 26 in the 1st yr.
    Go Birds!!!!

    You can look forward to him being traded to the Rangers in five years when the Preds scuttle the team. :mrgreen:

    You come across as one giant douchebag. I mean that, seriously.

    Were you a Ranger or Devils fan when the Rangers offer sheeted Joe Sakic back in '97?

    You mean Matt Carle? That's addition by subtraction for 5.5/year.

    Yeah bud, then you would know that the Rangers offer to Sakic was shady too then, right?
    The Rangers did the same exact thing, front-loading an offer sheet to a player with the thought that Denver wouldnt be able to match! Denver was struggling financially back then.

    Please think before you type.
