Not imo. 4.75 x 4 is about right. Maybe 5 years max

Higgins is on waivers.

No, SD/PTF.

The Higger might be just what the doctor ordered.

I think he's lost too much of a step. He's had so much injury trouble and is getting up there in years. Not to mention that he couldn't stay on a bad Canucks team this year. I don't think he's still an NHLer.

A witch doctor.

3.9 per year X 6 year for Shaw in Montreal.

Too high or too long? It looks a little high for a 15/35 player but maybe they think he will score 20 again.

Dsp to Ottawa please

That's a ton to pay a 3rd liner, but they should go nuts.

60 point pace with the Devils, while being very physical as well.

I'd like to sign Chris jelly

He's got a tough road to come back, I doubt he's worth it at all.

Do it then. Just don't let the Sens do it

If I recall his shot% while in NJ was completely unsustainable. I remember looking it up. While I'm not against getting him, I wouldn't expect him to be as good. He also has to be paired with a good playmaker to be effective. Pageau actually might be a good guy to pair him with. I wouldn't expect 20 goals from him though.

His shot% was basically like Zack Smith -- wouldn't expect either of them to hit 20 goals this season, and also wouldn't want two of them on my team at the same time.
