Re: NHL 2014 Off-Season Thread

Callahan is starting to break down, that contract is going to be terrible in couple of years.

Nikitin for 4.5M AAV is brutal as well, but it's only on a 2 year deal.

7 years for someone with Gaborik's injury history? Guess they better hope he happens to be healthy at playoff time every year and does what he did this year.

Edmonton just wanted a stop gap for a few years. The deal can't really hurt them since it's only 2 years long. Don't know what to think about 7 years for Gaborik or 6 for Callahan.

EDIT: The monster is back in Detroit on a 1 year deal. Pretty much as I expected.

I think that 5th, 6th and 7th year, maybe even 4th are just for the purpose of bringing his cap hit down. And if he retires earlier, his salary won't count towards cap, so I think that Lombardi did actually good job. Now they just have to hope he stays healthy for as long as possible.

Gaborik's contract is as front-loaded as it can be under the new CBA, but I don't see him leaving $16M on the table just to help the Kings out. He won't retire unless he leaves for the KHL in a few years for more $$$ (which is possible).

Glad he's back. I liked him last year.

Wings are reportedly very interested in Boyle. I like that signing too. Seems like a Wings guy.

Now out of left field; I'd actually be happy if the Wings could get Heatley on a 1 or 2-year-deal.
I'm sure some team out there will overpay for Heats and give him a longterm deal, but if he's looking to resurrect his career with a contender, I wouldn't mind seeing him in R&W.
I think he'd fit in well on the top 2 lines. Maybe even put him back with Alfie (if he resigns too).

Trust me. You don't want Heatley anywhere near your top 2 lines.
