LOL he'll never play anywhere else.  He's said that 10 million times.

yeah but he's seeing our budget, and the fact that we can't even afford a zamboni, so he will jump ship to New York with Henrik Lundqvist

McGuire says Detroit has the inside track.

You then have to turn around and qualify Condra, Hoffman (one-way?), and Wiercioch which will likely add another $3M+ against the cap (at least). Michalek, Phillips and Greening are UFA's the year after, and Conacher, Silfverberg, Lehner, Cowen RFA's as well.  

This is the budget that Murray keeps referring to. He can spend money, but he has to keep in mind that the core of his roster will be getting significant raises in the next year or two and it's more important to his system to have three guys making $3M than one guy making $9M. It's the small market mentality...

IMO Murray has to address two top-six positions, and a top-four D position without hurting the core or taking on too much salary in the process.

We are the cream of the Internet crop, there is no doubt.

Interesting to see how quickly the #Senators sign Alfie knowing it might cost them as much as 6M+ for 1yr.

I doubt it will go that high.

McGuire says he'd be willing to take a discount to play in Detroit. Possibly for the league minimum/

The Senators aren't close to deals with D Patrick Wiercioch and C Erik Condra. Two sides aren't speaking the same language. Talks continue.

Wiercioch and Condra's agents playing hardball it seems.

NEELY wrote:Wiercioch better not be asking for anything other than a 2 way because at this point the guy is totally replaceable.  As for Condra, give him term, he deserves it and has proven to be a very solid 4th liner who fills a big role on the PK.

Wiercioch had a decent 1st year, you can bet money him and his agent want a 1-way.

As for Condra, yeah I agree, although he may be asking for more than a 4th liner typically gets.
