It sucks to pay a player 3.5 million who is a defending defenseman, but in Commodore I believe we are getting as much, if not more, off the ice as we are with him. That is worth something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-7432719895044539532008-07-11T09:45:00.000-04:002008-07-11T09:45:00.000-04:00I think if someone signs Leclaire to an offer shee...I think if someone signs Leclaire to an offer sheet, so be it. Sure, it would suck to lose Leclaire and all, but the compensation for such a high pick would be huge and, quite frankly, the jackets could use them to bolster their depth chart. <BR/><BR/>Ken Holland had an interesting article in the Hockey News last month and he talked about not spending huge dollars on goaltending, but pouring it into the blueline. <BR/><BR/>That said, if you have poor goaltending it makes your team look far worse than it is.<BR/><BR/>I, for one, am not worried about Pazzy getting signed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-68174237706599709482008-07-11T09:36:00.000-04:002008-07-11T09:36:00.000-04:00Regarding leClaire, this is an interesing read:htt...Regarding leClaire, this is an interesing read:<BR/><BR/>http://bleacherreport.com/articles/36517-memo-to-nhl-gms-steal-pascal-leclaire-now<BR/><BR/>The article basically states that with the lack of goaltending quality and the cap space of some teams, why isn't anyone making a RFA offer to Leclaire... it's worth a shot... <BR/><BR/>Personally I am getting worried, it is starting to look an awful lot like the Foote situation where these talks are being dragged out week after week... <BR/><BR/>Personally I am thinking, that the agent knows that the CBJ will match any offer. I am thinking they are waiting for RFA offers to increase LeClaire's pay...
