Holy poo poo Kronwall actually got suspended for a dangerous charge. Since that's a repeat offender, does that mean he'll get suspended the 15 times a year he dangerously charges people with no call?

I want to post "no because it's the playoffs", but that won't work because they forget half the rules in the playoffs. So instead I'll just laugh when the don't call any penalties in game 7. (Or they overdo it to make up for the Caps/Isles game)

Dan Cleary owns I don't give a gently caress he can sign $1M contracts forever and sit in the press box it does not bother me in the slightest.

Dan Cleary is.... making $2.5m this year? Wow. I assumed it was more like a Craig Adams kinda deal where he made a little bit over minimum.

I think it was a 1.5m with a 1m bonus if he made 10 games. The bonus might've been deflected to next year?

Kronwall gets one game -- Game 7.

MARCHENKO TIME :toot:

I'd be surprised (but happy) if Marchenko gets the call instead of Kindl.

A one million dollar bonus for playing TEN NHL GAMES. :stare:. Holy moly.

Probably still a decent bet with Dan Cleary.

Also bonuses can be pushed off a year for counting against the salary cap. Ask a Bruins' fan how well that works.

bonuses can only be on one-year 35+ contracts (and elcs, which are a special case). on a 35+ contract, they can be whatever the player and team decide they want to be(example from last year: brodeur getting $10k per standings point earned on st louis). on an elc, there's a preselected list of possible bonuses (like points earned, trophies/cups won, games played) that can be picked and chosen to be included.

Players who missed lots of time the previous year with injury are eligible for bonuses on a one year contract, unless they changed that in the new CBA.

Remember when the Flyers signed Cleary to a 3 year deal worth $2.75M per but didn't report to training camp and signed with the Red Wings instead. Philly are pretty bad at the whole sensible hockey decisions thing.

Also, it's weird and kinda annoying how people keep pretending Stephen Weiss wasn't really good, if coming off an injury, when he signed that contract.

"really good" is a bit of an exaggeration, but it looked like a solid signing to play the third line center and i expected him to be in the 15-20 goal 40-45 point range, which he actually wouldn't have been that far off of this season if he'd played 82 games in the nhl

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
Marchenko in and no Zidlicky is a win whatever go out in a blaze of glory 5-0 tampa


e: if Kronwall weren't suspended and in for Ericsson/Quincey, and then Ouellet were in for Smith, that would be the best defense the Wings have iced in the post-Lidstrom era :negative:

Jakub Kindl's getting a hat trick tonight, Mrazek gets a shutout, Wings win 3-0.

That being said, the ending of the Wings' season means something is about to be removed from the Joe Louis Arena, from what people told me during Game 6.
