Gelinas a Panther

PanthersAccording to Sportsnet.ca, the Panthers have once again shopped the market by signing veteran LW Martin Gelinas, 35, for two years. The Panthers appear to be making a push for the playoffs by adding experienced veterans.

Omg that sucks, Gelinas was a really good player for the flames in there last run espically in the playoffs. Hopefully Calgary will be able to pick up a few players to fill his position. The Panthers look like there buying everything insight lol.

It's not a rumor.
Saw it on Thescore

[Hakkola]

wow, I guess it's a good pick up, not a big Amonte fan though.

[AznDragon2004]

Amonte is a good pickup for the Flames
$1.8 million for a guy that can score 20+ goals a season which is what we needed and it was only for $1.8 million a season.:D

Anyone know how much $$$ we have left??? I doubt we're gonna get niedermyer now since we got amonte, I don't see how we'll have enough $$$ to re-sign iginla and kipper as well (i'm assuming that haven't be re-signed yet since I haven't heard anything aobut it)

[Team_Mclaren]

Hours after losing Martin Gelinas, the Calgary Flames added some scoring and toughness, signing unrestricted free agents Tony Amonte and Darren McCarty.

Amonte signed a two-year contract at $1.8 million per season. McCarty also signed a two-year deal for $1.6 million ($800,000 per season).



we got Darren McCarty as well... holy shit:nut:

I'd rather have gelina over amonte. We're paying amonte double of what we had to pay gelina. No way amonte's double the player over gelina.
Gelina was clutch for calgary last year in the playoffs.

[Hakkola]

Mccarty is a good signing, he'll more than make up for nieminen (who I liked), Amonte is a good skilled player, but I'm not really a fan of him.

I can't wait until the season is under way.

[K271]

Great day for the Flames, upset over loosing Gelinas but I like the McCarty pick up. Such a hard worker and rugged player. His style is what Sutter is looking for. Some one to dig out the pucks, do the little things most players hate doing.

[mac_82]

Toni Lydman $1.9 million
Tony Amonte UFA (Philadelphia) $1.85 million
Robyn Regehr $1.672 million
Marcus Nilson $1.368 million
Stephane Yelle $1.368 million
Chris Simon $1.216 million
Roman Turek Committed to Europe $1.14 million
Jason Wiemer $950,000
Darren McCarty $800,000
Shean Donovan $627,000
Byron Ritchie $450,000
Steve Montador $450,000

11 Players $14,241,000

Here is the Flames payroll so far, taken from tsn.ca. If the Flames spent aprox. $34 million, they have $19 759 000 left in the budget to sign aprox. 8-10 players.

haha, amote has 6 30+ goal seasons.... he 10x better player then gelinas.

10x better yes.. but 10x more clutch?.. i think not

bah, gelinas had one good playoffs, thats all.

[likwid]

Gelinas had 2 empty net goals in the playoffs and everyone thinks hes the greatest player ever. Anyways, I am pumped for McCarty and Amonte. Sutter has done a great job and can hopefully seal the deal on getting Niedermeyer.

[mac_82]

Tony Amonte
age: 34
HT: 6-0 WT: 200
NHL Seasons: 13

03/04 : GP-80 G-20 A-33 PTS-53 +13 PIM-38


Martin Gelinas
age: 35
HT: 5-11 WT: 195
NHL Seasons: 16

03/04 : GP-76 G-17 A-18 PTS-35 +10 PIM-70


I think I would rather have Amonte, although Gelinas was pretty clutch in the playoffs. I can't wait to see who else the Flames sign, I am so excited for the season to start now.


:nut:

[wildrice]

I think gelinas more consistent than amonte.

[88CRX]

some stats.....


Gelinas

games - 1052
goals - 269
assists - 286
points - 555
+/- +13




Amonte

games - 1013
goals - 392
assists - 436
points - 828
+/- +97



nuff said :D

and amonte has more playoff points then gelinas AND he's played in almost half as many playoff games.

[mac_82]

^^ ya what he said. :D

um nope, read the stats, they dont lie.

[AznDragon2004]

Lets all see what Amonte can do for us in the playoffs this season :)

Trust Sutter, since he took over as the gm every move he's made has been a success for the team. When Sutter brought kipper to the flames, i was like "this is the worst move ever but look how well it turned out, same with Simon, nilson."

Trust Sutter!!!

8 times we face each other!!

[CdnSilverStreak]

I heard that Edm and Cal were both battling for Niedermeyer, but since Edm got Pronger, it doesn't look like it anymore.

[limecorrado]

:eek:

Pronger an oiler :)


Lets hope they get a forward or two now :drool:

[mac_82]

Lets just hope that Calgary gets Nieds now. Guess its between us and Vancouver, but it sounded like Calgary and Edmonton were a lot higher on the list than Vancouver. Now it may only be Calgary.

[AznDragon2004]

Battle of Alberta could be intense if we sign Niedermeyer.

Niedermeyer vs Pronger!!!! :D

we didn't sign Langkow yet?

[stevieo]

nope RFA

[Neil4Speed]

I say ideally, we need to sign another power forward to take conroys void (amonte probably took gelinas), and Neidermier would make it a good situation for the flames. Of course in addition to Kipper, Iggy, and Langkow obviously.

Any ideas on how much Kiprosoff, Iginla, Langkow, and Niedermyer will cost us? Respectively?

I think its pretty important that we don't go nuts and give Kipper a crazy 4 odd million dollar salary just yet, Sign him for a 1 year, and see how he works out for us next year, In spite of how well he led us in the playoffs I am still a little skeptical of his long term ability. Also, we need to dump lydman, 1.8 is wayyy to much.

langkow is conroys replacement

kipprusoff - prolly 2.25-2.5 mill
iggy - prolly 5-7 mill
langkow - prolly 1.95-2.25 mill

who knows how much niedermyer wants, he could take a pay cut but we don't know what he is thinking and who he is talking to.

either way, if flames sign another play I am hoping its a PP QB!

[mac_82]

Mike Modano - signs 5 year deal with the Stars.

I guess Dallas won the bidding against Boston, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh.

[mac_82]

This might give you an idea of what Kipper would sign for:

Marty Turco $3,161,795
Tomas Vokoun $2.28 million
Evgeni Nabokov $3.363 million
Patrick Lalime $2.432 million
Jean-Sebastien Giguere $3.99 million


Giguere is a little high, but Kipper fits right into the 2-3 million range.

[mac_82]

Chicago Blackhawks - Signed unrestricted free agent defenceman Adrian Aucoin.

Nashville Predators - Acquired defenseman Danny Markov

Calgary better move soon on Nieds, most of the high profile D men have been snatched up now.

[sputnik]

Amonte is a good pick. He played for Sutter back in Chicago, so Sutter knows what he is getting himself into.

I think we'll see a good year from him. Gelinas was a great player for the Flames, but you cant keep the same team around forever.

[Majestic12]

If it was down to Calgary vs Vancouver for Nieds... no way could Vancouver afford him... don't think they really need to either, with Jovo and Naslund on the hook already, plus Big Baby Bert, etc, they can't really afford that many more high-profile guys.

[fordo_11]

Amonte is an awsome pickup, him and Sutter have a history and it sounds like he is going to return to Left wing (were he had his most success) to play on Iginla's line. :thumbsup: And he is returning to Sutter's system (were he had his most success) :thumbsup: . Darren McCarty is also a solid pickup (I told you we were after him in the Nieds thread) he is an upgrade from Ville. Langkow replaces Conroy and actually may prove to be more dangerous??? (about the same point as Conroy, but on a less productive team). Looks good for the Flames, watch for Nieds decision to be made today or tomorrow (Lets go Flames). Then comes the RFA the Flames have. Calgary is going to be solid and a contender for division champs now that we have a level playing field with Vancouver and Colorado (Deadmonton is going to be left crying like babies :cry: for over paying for Pronger).

[fordo_11]

Naslund has re-signed with the Nucks three years for 18 mil. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=132279

and Martin Skoula has Signed with the Dallas Stars no details released. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=132299

[fordo_11]

This just in "Pens Ink Gonchar" to a reported 5 year 25 mil, and the more important line Iginla re-sings with the Flames for 3 years at 21 mil. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp;jsessionid=DCEHOJBBDDKD?content=20050803_105411_5984 . Once again go Flames :thumbsup: :clap: :guns:

isn't that how much Iggy made before the CBA?

On an Iggy note anyone see the Iginla mural on some building downtown? I haven't seen it yet, but my friend told me it takes up like 10 stories and it looks like he's chin upping the building.

[fordo_11]

isn't that how much Iggy made before the CBA?

No I believe he was making something in the 4 or 5 million range but I am not entirely sure, he is worth it but for some reason I remember Sutter saying he expected Iginla to sign for 5 or 6 million just after the lockout was done. Caught me a bit by surprise but I can't think of a player more deserving of the money.

[2002civic]

it is a lot, but hes worth it and sutter would be shot if he lost iginla

[k_dawg]

[Phy]

Originally posted by 2002civic

No shit, he's like our signature player (well, and Kipper)

According to CBC he drew 7.5 mil in 03-04, so it's not unprecedented.

[fordo_11]

Wow, so what happens with Thibault then? it says on TSN that they would attempt to trade him, mind you he is an RFA that has been qualified, so it is tough to say but it could be much like the Pronger trade if it happens.

[rvd]

Nieds will stay in Jersey $6.8 mil/per

as much as i thought he would never come to a team like calgary, with all the wacky shit going down lately i'm actually expecting him to sign with calgary :D

i'll eat my words from a few day ago lol.... i think i said something like "he WILL NOT come to calgary, ever"

lol, opps.

[SuPhistiKatEd]

Khabbi deal is very, very close to being done. Thibault will be thrown away.

What time is 3:00pm ET here? The Flames are holding a news conference.

I dont think that Calgary can afford him and still sign the rest of the team.

[k_dawg]

Coyotes re-sign goalie Brian Boucher to one-year contract that was yesterday. And as for the Blackhawks SuPhistiKatEd and fordo_11 are right. If they sign Khabibulin they will want to trade Thibault right away and are expected to if the deal goes through.

[SuPhistiKatEd]

I'm sure Sutter will throw in an offer, but if it get's dumped, he'll let it go. Don't do what Edmonton did. We've got other valuable players to ink deals with.

niedermayer will resign with the devils,.. as much as i WANT him on the flames, its just not plausible.. we can't afford him

what a shame

... when is Denis gonna play for us again.. still injured or what.. he could definetly fill a hole

[buh_buh]

Gauts got traded in the Langkow deal

[fordo_11]

when is Denis gonna play for us again.. still injured or what.. he could definetly fill a hole We don't have a hole on our D. Regher, Leopold, Phenuef, Warnner, Ferance, and Lydman are the make up of the leagues deepest and solidest dcores. Defenceman Mathieu Dandenault has signed with the Montreal Canadiens, TSN has learned. 4 years for 7 million. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=132317

[Impreza]

I just hope we can get rid of lydman!

[keohki]

signing malik for 2.5 mill a season ain't any better! stupid fools, don't know how to budget

[fordo_11]

throw Lydman away, he is a 5th or 6th Dman he would only play 5-8 mins a game with that d-core in place, so I could take him or leave I would just want his salery to sell else were. I agree some of these teams are going to kill themselves since they don't know how to budget but that is why the Flames are going to rule.

[d-UNiT]

oh shit ya i forgot denis is gone.. thats my bad.. our d core is not one of the most solid though..

[2002civic]

^ r u kidding, last year our defense was one of the best in the nhl and it will be better this year

[fordo_11]

Brian Leetch has signed with the Bruins http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=132328 .


our d core is not one of the most solid though..

What D-Core is better???? Come on we have Dmen to spare we are deep on defence and that is why we have been able to get rid of dmen, and don't doubt for a second the fact that Pheanuf is the real deal and we will see that this year.

[2002civic]

we also resigned leopold for 2 years and 2.3 million dollars, and the modano deal is far from done as he turned down the stars offer and his agent said it is unlikely they could work something out:dunno:
