Good God...5 years, $27.5M total for Orpik. Caps got bent over there, possibly the worst deal of the day.
Yeah, you're right, 5 years for Pouliot is still worse.
Vanek going to the Wild - 3 yrs, money TBD
I wonder what's up with this. Got to think he could have done better.
matts, pylon is way over the top. for his size, orpik has always been a good skater. he's just getting old now.
Thomas Vanek will be Dany Heatley 2.0

The fact they're giving that kind of money to a guy who has questionable effort and was benched in the heat of a legit Stanley Cup run is baffling.This is what I said as well. I hate that the contract is back loaded. 5.5, 6.5, 7.5. By that 3rd year the Wild will have a lot of young players to be signed to new contracts.
