I do not understand what Plakanec is doing, I hope he is not actually expecting a raise this year!
Of course hes going to get a raise you dumb ass. He has scored 20 goals plus for three straight years. Start looking up guys who have scored 20+ goals three straight seasons and see what they get paid.
He is going to get $2.5-$3.5million per season. write it down.
What is going on with these guys?????
Lehtonen (ATL)
Barker (CHI)
Kessel (BOS)
Johnsoin (LA)
Upshall (PHX)
Harding (MIN)
Schremp (EDM)
Brule (EDM)
These are all good young talents that could really help out the Toronto Maple Leafs. I really like the idea of going after Harding if the leafs don't get the Monster from Sweden. I would also like to see a deal with the Kings to get Johnson for Kaberle. I've been hearing that the Kings may shop the young defensemen and being American might make him more appealing to Burke.
Something off topic here, the Rangers today signed a guy named Chris Chappell.
Anyone ever hear of him?
Plekanec should get between $2.3m and $2.7m, which is the market price for a player like him right now in the NHL. His numbers are pretty similar to Mikael Samuelsson, who got $2.5m in Vancouver.
Did a little research since I didn't know him…
Chris Chappell
Left Winger – 6'4 – 212 – From Pickering, Ontario
Played with Saginaw Spirit (OHL)
05-06: 60 GP – 08 G – 12 A – 20 PTS – 53 PIM
06-07: 66 GP – 10 G – 14 A – 24 PTS – 47 PIM
07-08: 54 GP – 14 G – 20 A – 34 PTS – 55 PIM
08-09: 68 GP – 38 G – 38 A – 76 PTS – 88 PIM
Here's what OHLProspects Blog had to say about him in an article entitled "Top-10 Overagers Worth Signing to an NHL Contract" in which he was ranked first…
Then, another article about the Saginas Spirit;
Sounds like a good signing as an un-drafted prospect…but you probably won't hear a lot of him for a few years.
Sounds promising, thanks!
I agree that he will likely land between 2.5 and 3 a season – you have to remember the guy is only one season removed from a near 70 point campaign – and with the right linemates will probably be there again.
You know, it is f*ck heads like you that make the world suck!
If you watched any Habs games last year you know that Plekanec sucked, so stick to your own team boy and leave ours alone!
I wonder if he get's nervous that Bob will show up at the arbitration meeting with a copy of his famous "I'm playing like a little girl out there" statement. That alone would probably cost him somwhere around 500k/ year in salary! lol
Hey habswinthecup you can call all the names you want but it won't change the fact that i'm right and you are wrong. You stick to YOUR ONE TEAM and I will continue to be able to break down the entire league. I'll find you when Plekanecs signs so I can say I told you so.
I was right 2.75mil. I hope yall wrote it down.
