Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

...or Tanev! Perhaps Benning shouldn't have played games & locked him up last summer. He's only improved his value this year.

Well hopefully his two concussions have brought that value back down again.

hahah no doubt, health hazard city, I don't think Tanev with the style he plays will play a full 82 games in a season.

Bruins sign Krug to a 1-year extension for $3.4 million and Smith was given two years at $3.425 million, per season.

Any bets on what Matthias wants now!

He's a +$4million dollar man

[SKYO]

1 year $3.4M per contract is reasonable for Salo like injury prone Tanev, anyways we are seeing the big difference from the Gillis days, as he'd sign everyone asap with NTC galore, but JB it's wait till offseason to worry about this shit.

[Blob Mckenzie]

Yeah........no . Tanev will be signing for 4.2- 4.8 per season depending on the term

[Hockey Widow]

Seems a lot of Bruin fans are none to happy with these deals as it will do little to alleviate their cap squeeze, with still others to sign. Feeling is they will still need to dump a contract.

I can see Tanev getting a five year at 4.5 range. Matthias I think will be shooting for 3.5-4 million and if he gets 20+ goals he will get it somewhere.

I don' think he was playing games with Tanev, I think he really needed to see him play for the season. But ya, getting him locked up last summer seems smart in retrospect.

Two concussions. When will he play again? Trade bait?

Love Tanev...wary of head injuries though.

Well, he didn't need to see Lack play before making the Miller decision. ...perhaps Tanev's camp wanted too much at the time. We just saw Tanev finish playing a 1-year "show me you can do it again" contract w/ Gillis and then Benning had him do it all over. This all comes down to how defensive players don't get the contractual respect of "stats-guys" yet coaches love them. I'm guessing the Tanev camp is going to want to make up some lost $ ground w/ the next contract.

NYI sign Boychuk

$42 million over 7 years as just reported on TSN 1040.

Wow...big money.

[black ace]

Big term.

He will be 38 when it expires.

Looks like the GMs of the league are still making dumb and dumber to kinda deals.

[Blob Mckenzie]

Christ , Edler looks like a steal at 5 million a season . Canucks would be wise to sign Tanev fairly smartly .
