Giordano signs 2-year extension 800k AAV

That?s?.

Sensational.

I think that replaces Spezza as the ?grizzled old guy? (TM). But it maybe also leaves open cap space to keep Spezza as a 13th forward

Shocked at this deal.  Most I heard talking about it were saying it might be around $3.75 MIL but possibly over $4 MIL.  $0.8 MIL is insane!!

Definitely hope that they re-sign Vintage.  He is so close to 1000 pts.
 
Wow! That is phenomenal.  I was budgeting 2.5-3M.  But two years at that hit is absurd!!!!!!

He seems like the kind of guy who won?t complain as long as he gets to hang out with the boys

Only problem is Simmonds is already signed for next season and would currently be penciled in for that spot too. I really don't think we can justify having them both on the roster. If Spezza does want to return maybe we could see if Simmonds would be open to a trade to Philly.
 
This feels like a guy whose only priority left in the NHL is to win a cup and thinks this is his best shot at it. He doesn't want or need the money and he knows the team will need every penny possible given how tight they are to the cap. The money he's leaving on the table is to help give himself the best shot at a ring. I'm sure it also doesn't hurt that it's his home town, too. All of that said...shocking!
 
Seems a little rude he didn't leave something for us to complain about. Obviously doesn't care about the fans.
 
Dare I say that this looks like the kind of deal the, er, Tampa Bay Lightning were able to get from some of their guys?
