The Habs signed Alexander Semin....1 year, $1.1m ......suckers

[Beanflicker]

That's his last chance right there. If he stinks this season he's out of the league like Dany Heatley.

Much better to pay him 1.1 than 7 million like the Canes were.

Heatley was a punk. Semin should have given money back to the Canes, I could have provided better stats than he did this season

canucks trade Bonino, Clendenning and a 2nd round pick to the penguins for Brandon sutter and a 3rd round pick :S... no idea if this is good or not

[Beanflicker]

That sounds like an awful trade for the Canucks! I don't think a 1 for 1 Bonino for Sutter trade would have been good for the Canucks, let alone Bonino, a young D prospect and an earlier pick!

I dunno... I could be wrong but that sounds like a horrible trade.

[El Kabong]

That same GM from Pittsburgh traded Sutter when he was GM of the Canes

Guys on the radio were confused by it too, apparently sutter is also paid about double what bonino is too

[Beanflicker]

Yeah I could be wrong, maybe Sutter will thrive in Vancouver. He's a quality 2-way centre who does good work in the defensive zone too, but I don't know what he does that Bonino doesn't.

I made quite a bit of fun at my friends when the deal got signed.

1 year and 1.1 million might be a great signing for montreal.... It's short term and fairly low money so it's an acceptable risk incase he turns crap but I have a feeling semin might turn it on this year and fool some people into giving him a longer contract :S

[Beanflicker]

Maybe so! He better hope that he does, otherwise he'll be heading back to the KHL because no team is going to look at him if he stinks like he did last season.

He could probably get a good deal in mother russia for a couple of years, certainly more than the 1.1 million he is getting this season, the russians seem to like bringing famous russians back to their league..
