4 years @ $5 million, I think.

Hearing $4.1 million per for Bones.

Between Neuwirth and Elliott, who's backing up whom over there, while Stolarz continues his development? Elliott's the #1 now, right?

Maybe the other competitive offers were from Canadian teams?

Would have signed Bones at that price

As much of a warrior as Bonino has been in the playoffs, his regular seasons have been meh.

For 4 years?

who else thinks duchene is coming to pens?
ME

Now that I see JR let Bonino walk for 4.1 for 4, a deal he probably could've done if he really wanted to, I say yes. He's got something bigger planned.

Something must be in the works.

Term and frequent injuries are the concerns... really like GMJR bringing in new blood... cleans the arteries of plaque

So long Sheary and Pouliot?

The TSN Tracker is my favorite.

Would be a little helpful if they had a place that showed the former team they played for. Otherwise, the constant updating is great.

Yes, definitely. And Bones has played a lot of hockey the past two years, and he'll be joining a team that played a lot of hockey this year. I would not be surprised to see him have a so-so season.

Better not be Rust and Maatta.

I don't like that money at that length for bones. Myabe a 3 yr deal to have stayed

Postby **Blue Canary** » Sat Jul 01, 2017 12:57 pm

TSN says no deal for Shattenkirk after all, damn. I found the earlier report so entertaining.
