7s7c 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hello UFA status next season. No way he signs a long term deal anywhere before UFA, he's going to get 8M somewhere IMO. 5-6M for his current status/production and an extra 2-3M for what could be since he is still very much a spring chicken for a guy who's been a #1 d-man for the period he has.

Speed Limit 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Yeah we're screwed, pretty much hoping that we get a deal that makes us very happy for trade. OR we trade and fall right into Tavares. Link to post Share on other sites

Speed Limit 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well Chad Kilger is not expected to play at all this year, this coming from Martin's mouth. I guess Martin said that he's still dealing with "family issues" and that if he WERE to play anywhere he'd want to play in Florida. Well I hope he damn better want to because Florida still holds his rights as of this moment. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Now that the trade is official can we get a scouting report on Mike Van Ryn please Speedlimit??FWIW you are getting the better player and a potential all star dman in McCabe..He was "shafted" here and his play was affected by the negative comments from the media and the fans. I am sure he will resurrect his career there and will be back to scoring 60pts. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Van Ryn for McCabe and the Leafs are the ones tossing in the 4th... I do not get that. Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure he will resurrect his career there and will be back to scoring 60pts.Serge its really going to depend on Mike's health. Before his last 2 years of wrist injuries he was really turning the corner into being a pretty solid point producing top pairing defenceman. He lead Michigan to a national title and captained jr team Canada. The wrist injuries the last couple seasons have really stalled him though, he certainly has the potential to be a really good player if he can stay healthy. Link to post Share on other sites

Ever since we received him from St. Louis it was touted to be the Bouw/Van Ryn clinic in the back end. Everything I've read from Mike leading up to this year signals to me that he's feeling good and he was pretty sure this trade was going to happen. He mentioned a few times how he wouldn't be surprised to start the season with another team. He's not going to be the "pilon" that I've heard McCabe referred to in Toronto and sure if he stays healthy and stays with you guys he's going to be an underrated asset who will only help groom Schenn.

But he got married to D.J. from Full House, so it's all gravy to him. Link to post Share on other sites
Speed Limit 0 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Florida gave defenseman Keith Ballard a 6 year extension today. Far too much as I'm concerned, but he is 25 and shows promise. Link to post Share on other sites

Far too much as I'm concerned, but he is 25 and shows promise.Pretty much seals the deal on the Bouwmeester era, I'd say they're completely convinced that they can't sign him long term. Ballard is solid though, if Buffalo could get him back I'd have no problem with them giving him that kind of deal. Link to post Share on other sites

Ballard is solid though, if Buffalo could get him back I'd have no problem with them giving him that kind of deal.Yeah when Jacques Martin was asked if this would affect Bouw's situation at all he gave the ole, of course not and when we have the chance to lock up some guys that we want, we're going to do it. Obviously I think it does take another step towards Jay leaving. I've got this thing in my mind where I think the reason why Florida is stocking on d-men is because they're shipping Jay for a good amount of offense. Here are the guys we're looking at long term so far. These are the season's these players are signed through:2014-15: Keith Ballard2013-14: Rostislav Olesz2012-13: Nathan Horton, Stephen Weiss2011-12: Bryan Allen2010-11: Bryan McCabe, Tomas Vokoun.

Speed Limit 0 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 Two articles via Yahoo! about Florida coming today, good reads and Greg Whyshynski brings up the good point of "They've missed the playoffs for seven seasons; in that time, they haven't had a first or second overall pick. God, that's gotta be annoying."http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_dadd...?urn=nhl,107486http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=ArC0...o&type=lgns Link to post Share on other sites
