About as often as you agree with them.

I agree with this signing though.

The exception that proves the rule?

Charlie Sheen would be so proud.

The interview with Anderson just shows how much he wants to play here. I am very happy with this deal.... And No I am not going to change my username again. Though Donkey-Kickin' Anderson has a nice ring to it.

Now, if Pittsburgh had signed the same deal, it would be ... well all that ...

Quality post bub...pretty tired of hearing that I'm a Penguins fan when I clearly am not.

oh come on!!!! Whether you're a pens fan or not, you've certainly given us enough indication that you like what the penguins usually do, and as such you also watch alot of their games. But don't worry, we still believe you're a sens fan thick and through

we're all just pissed that you picked the pens to beat the sens in the playoffs last year...

Well I'm sorry. I felt like making money by betting on them. Sue me!

well I hope you made money on calling the habs upset of the caps

also, you bet against your team??? That's gotta be a big no-no as a fan

Why? Either way I'm happy. Pens win I get money, Sens win they move on

and yes I did make money off the Habs in 7 as well...too bad I thought the Nucks and Preds were gonna do well for the whole playoffs

Heh heh.

Nice to have him signed. I'm not thrilled at all with that 4th year, but with no NMC, it's not the end of the world. As long as we finish 3rd last, I'm good.

We may even be somewhat competitive next season too (I'm not talking playoffs), and if not, oh well, I'll start the "FAIL FOR NAIL" campaign early!

On another note, it seems SpezzD was waaaaaaay off with his 'optimistic' prediction of a deal getting done for this weekend.

Seriously, I think they should now sign a backup (be it C-Mac or someone else) to a 2 year contract. Give Robin Lehner a chance to develop properly in Bingo. However if Brust comes back for next season, then I don't know what the situation will be again. Murray made it sound like Brust has to be signed or ppl in Bingo will riot.

Really nice video media scrum with Anderson. Made me feel even more certain that this was the right move.

Can you catch the...fairly obvious shot at Colorado in there?

Yeah, I want bottom 3/top 3 pick now with a vengeance. Having a mid to top level goalie signed begins the building of this properly, coupled with the pieces we already have in place going forward, but I want one of RNH or Landeskog VERY badly.

hmmm..in that video he's asked if he got a NMC and his reponse was pretty definate..

No I did not...

EDIT

Oh and it just dawned on me...

Does anyone think Murray isn't going to be back. Seems odd to me that a GM without a contract has been allowed to make a couple of major signings for long term (ie 3+ years each). You would think if he wasn't coming back, that he wouldn't be allowed to make deals that may not jive with what a new GM would want.

Thoughts??

Good point 22 but without the NM / NT clause, the GM-to-be isn't handcuffed ... (well, not as handcuffed)

Yeah, I think most people are thinking the same thing. Why would they let him do these kind of moves - ie, shedding Fisher's money when he has term left, shedding Kelly's contract, re-signing Anderson to a multi-year contract. The guy's got the organization's ducks in a row IMO, he should have every opportunity to do it for another year at least (although, I know a lot of people will hate to hear that).

There is one way in which he would be allowed to make these moves if he wasn't coming back and that is that if "The Gene" is taking more control. I know it's been speculated one or two times before.

I doubt seriously that "The Gene" is trying to take more control, lord help us if he is.

Do you mean, "The Nuge"?
