pfft, who needs Suter when you can have Bruno Gervais instead

Carle signed with Tampa Bay. 6 years $5.5 million per. Good riddance.

Rome · July 04, 2012, 10:32:11 PM

I don't know if good riddance is right. He was a decent player. He's not worth that kind of dough, though. That's absurd for a second pairing defenseman.

SD · July 05, 2012, 06:24:43 AM

He was a terrible defensman. He had some offensive skill but he was bad in his own end, turned the puck over a lot, and joined the rush too much. Those issues were masked when he was paired with Pronger, once he was on his own he was exposed. That contract is a joke.

For once it's someone else's joke. High five?

SD · July 05, 2012, 07:48:21 AM

Jokes on Yzerman. Maybe Holmgren can sucker them into taking Bryz next.

SD · July 05, 2012, 07:57:37 AM

I hope Holmgren sits with the cap space they currently have. Let the young guys develop. Go into free agency next season and blow Weber away with an offer.

Thats where i'm at with it SD. They got lucky at this point. Carle at 4 mill per was a lot. 5.5 is ridiculous.

Fedotenko is back (1/$1.75M)

Gervais is done too....2-yr deal

Seabiscuit36 · July 05, 2012, 02:13:07 PM

Couldnt have possibly had two worse signings. Awesome

Rome · July 05, 2012, 02:37:07 PM

lol settle down

Seabiscuit36 · July 05, 2012, 03:00:27 PM

"Rosy" does nothing for me. Signing a russian to be your Grinder..meh

Bruno Gervais is nothing more than a 3rd pairing guy. Moneywise they're good, but as far as improvements it solved nothing.

Rome · July 05, 2012, 03:12:24 PM

Wayne Gretzky & Ray Bourque weren't available.

SunMo · July 05, 2012, 03:17:07 PM

they're retired, idiot.

Seabiscuit36 · July 05, 2012, 03:21:51 PM

Rocket Richard?
