If you have that opinion, might be better to keep that to yourself. No need to insult folks.

Everyone liked the Pominville contract when it was signed too...



Um....



People were clamoring left and right for him to be locked up long term. Someone else can dig up the thread from the WSOD if they want, but I remember pretty decent excitement when he was inked. I could be wrong though.

Certainly 5.5M looks pretty crappy now. I think Him, Tallinder, and Lydman are the worst contracts on the team, even with Tallinder and Lydman playing well this past year.


I dont object to locking up pominville, but I never once thought he was worth that much money. Maybe half that much. I truly do not understand why he got so much cash.

How about cuz he was PPG at the time, and coming off of two very productive seasons.



So you think what he's getting paid is right?

What I meant, was that me and Ruff/Regier must see vastly different things in the kid, because in my eyes there is no fucking way he's worth anything over 3, maybe 3.5, but of course, i'm just some dude who watches the game, they're the coach and GM...so, who the hell am I to talk. Still, he's really overpaid. he's also untradable because of it.

No, I'm just saying that's why everyone was enthusiastic about it at the time. I think he should be making 3.8-4 - Derek Roy-type money.

He was also signed during a time when all players were getting ridiculous contracts. It was still the year of signing anyone who had 80 points to a 7 million dollar contract.

If Pominville would be getting signed now to a deal, it wouldn't be as much 4 at the most, even after his two very productive seasons.

in 07 players salaries inflated greatly, Gaborik signed for 7 million last year, had he signed a deal in 07 FA he would have easily signed for 9 million, or 8 million like he did anyways.
