Not for a UFA.

 

Even for a UFA its pretty cheap

 

They traded Moulson and a 1st for Vanek, then turn around and trade Vanek for a 2nd and a prospect...

 

Garth snow should be fired....

For a over rated player who doesn't put up a point a game? He fits in perfectly.

Vanek is definitely over rated.

I guess you're referring to Subban and Price? The way everyone hates on them in TO its hard to understand how they are considered over rated. Sounds more like a bias opinion of a lengthy rivalry. (Don't get me wrong, I don't think they're God's gift to hockey, but they're not awful by any stretch)

 

and as my duty to partake in the rivalry, I will post this link as a reminder...

Well I think I will chime in on the Vanek to MTL deal sitting here on my ocean front balcony in Greneda sippin on a ice cold Caribe!!!

 

Well as Rob so astutely pointed out he is not a point a game player but how many NHL players these days put up a point a game. He is having a decent season considering he has played with two crap teams and he has more points than the magician JVR!!!

 

Montreal needed a goal scorer and they went out and got one!!!

 

Gotta go now and grab another Caribe and watch the sunset!!!

 

Gord signing off from sunny Greneda!!!

I am no mathematician but I would take JVR with his 4.25 mil per year and 52 points over Vanek and his what 7.1 mil per year and 53 points.... Just saying....

However, Vanek isn't a bum. He is a good player, and MTL needs anyone that can score. Even if they have to pay them 3 times what they are worth.

should be but will he??? The isles have the weirdest management I've ever seen in the nhl. If you washed jerseys for the team for 5 years you might move up to management with a $50 million dollar pay increase lol Edited by manitoubass2

Come on Jedi Master, gotta give Vanek some credit...this is the only year(and maybe last i guess) that JVR has been half the player Vanek has been....

Realy???I think not.

no one is crazy enough (except us) to pay him what he's making.

He left money on the table in Edm. Was thinking an offer from the Leafs would seem a bargain to Craig Mac...

Does the ice look like it just went through a nuclear event for anyone else on the feed from Sportsnet? Holy bright batman!!!!
