Guess jets didn't want to commit for five years. I'll assume jets wanted 2-3 years and Frolik wanted North of $5m for less term. Frolik does a lot of good things. But jets aren't going to pay a 3rd line player top line money. And I can never be disappointed when they make that decision.

So apparently I have been hearing that the Jets had offered him the same thing?! 

Maybe Frolik didn't want to sign here. Find it hard to believe we wouldn't give that. Thats only $1M more than last year.

Either that or Frolik and agent over estimated the market, and once in UFA, he went to a team he thought was a better fit.

Better opportunity in Calgry? He's pretty much squeezed out of the top six here. Plus if they want a 3rd line winger might be comparing a much cheaper Burni to Frolik

So apparently I have been hearing that the Jets had offered him the same thing?!

If so he made his choice. Score one for the "doesn't want to play in winnipeg" crowd

Steve Downie to Arizona for 1 year, not sure about salary yet.

 

@FriedgeHNIC: Hearing Frolik to CAL will come in around five years at a $4.3M AAV.

Now that's intereating. jets coukdnt match that?

 

Jets wouldn't go to $4.3 mill for Frolik...????

 

Calgary probably matched Winnipeg's offer. All of a sudden re-signing Tlusty not look so bad, better be min wage tho.

Jackman stays in St. Louis.

Toronto will be eating approx. 15-25% of Kessel's contract. It's a steal imo if the Pens have Kessel at $6M per. Spaling to the Leafs and a 2nd rounder back to the Pens may also be part of the deal, which is good for the Pens. Borderline 3rd liner with a bad contract for a good pick.

 

edit: Toronto's keeping 15%.

sigh I thought players would lighten up on Winnipeg a bit, even though we don't have the best Salary cap the amount of fans should make up for it, shouldn't it?

TSN tracker is reporting St Louis.  On the radio they said Nashville.

Hey you were right for a couple minutes. Take that to the bank

He actually had Nashville first but I corrected him.

Enroth to LA 1 year $1.25M

and Burmi is back.

2 year contract for Burmi, unsure of dollars.

Rather secure Burni to be honest. But Tlusty is a good player for bottom six

I spoke to soon lok

Frolik made his choice and i respect him for that. Pretty clear that he didn't want to be here.

Fro can go eff himself, if he didn't want to be here, buh-bye.

Is Burmi here to play or to be traded?

4.3 a year is a bit much as is the term for Fro but do you want to pay a guy like that for a 3rd liner?

Chevy is being fiscally responsible and keeping 4.3 off the books for 5 years and replacing it with a smaller contract is wise.

We're gonna need that money for Ladd and Trouba and Lowry and Buff?

 

I'd offer Buff 8 m a year for 2 years.

Condra to Tampa 3 years 1.25M per

Ducky, Burmi is here for two years
