Let's be real, Michalek is a better player than Pouliot.

Says a lot of good things about OTT that he wants to come back, too. Good to have a vet presence also.

I don't think he is better anymore, his knee is always basically injured and he's only really produced with Spezza.

It sounds like they struck out on guys like Pouliot and Jokinen so they went back to 9MM.

Statistically he is, Michalek has been trending down for a while.

Guy is so stupid. But so is EDM... why the hell do they need yet another winger?

Come on! We need a scoring winger!

Remember when Edmonton paid pouliot 20 mil over 5 years lol

Bolland to FLA. Can't wait to see how much they're paying for a grinder 'tweener...

Florida is just spending money because they can. 5 x 5.5... that's not bad.

For a 40-point guy, that's f'ing terrible. Bolland is a marginal top 6er at best.

I don't think the term or money was awful.

Hopefully we bring in another big winger. We are slowly turning into a Bruins-like forwards corps which I like.

Disagree. Spezza, behind Seguin, will put up great numbers and the Stars will re-sign him. It's a great place for him -- very affluent market, big yet allows a lot of anonymity for hockey players, warm climate is good for his back, too.

The return was pretty pathetic. I hope you "addition by subtraction" guys are right because otherwise it's going to be a very long season.

Chiasson was -21, so I guess he'll fit right in. Paul was invited to Canada's Junior Team evaluation camp next month so that's something.

Yup, Sens are getting big on the wings and that's what wins.

Hemsky about to sign in Dallas too

I think he'll put up great numbers for a few years at most, it's what happens after that that will swing the trade in our favor. That's how these things usually go.

Sens also have a ton of cap space and budget left. I like where the Sens are going with this.

Surprise -- Hemsky to Dallas.

In what world is a 40-point tweener worth $5.5 mil / yr?

When healthy he is the best 3rd line centre in the league and a top PK guy. He can play 2nd line centre when needed for short periods of time. He is a winner and a leader. Disregard the stats just like you do with Spezza's points.
