Worst UFA signings of 2009

SpezDispenser wrote:What's the difference between Orr and a dime a dozen tough guy like McGrattan who makes league minimum? And why a 4 year contract? And what does he bring to the table when there's no fighting in a game? 1 million is a fair chunk for a one dimensional guy IMO. Just like I think Neil got 500K too much for what he brings, I think Orr also got 500K too much.

Just to back up the windbaggery of his initial presser. Just like the rest of his signings, as a matter of fact. He even characterized Kadri as a "mean little bastard".

I think the problem is, who is being signed for points in T.O.?

Blake and Grabs will carry the team.



Heh heh.

Heh heh.

Just an aside: do you have silver wings to go along with that laugh, shabbs?

(That joke won't make any sense if you're not a fan of "The Sopranos".)

Not a fan of the Sopranos... so you'll have to paint the picture for me.

You end almost every post with this great "heh, heh," which reminds me intensely of Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtierri -- the guy with the big silver "wings" above his ears -- that's all. I thought you might have been doing it on purpose.

Anyway, I love it. I'm a big Sopranos fan, and Paulie is hilarious.

I'll have to borrow the series from a friend and watch it.

As for the "heh heh"... that's just the way I roll...
