This year we've lost at least (6) games on soft goals and his inability to clear rebounds. He's far off his game. Furthermore, last year Lunquist stole many games for us.

Per UK Ranger post , when you tie up so much money how can you sign UFA's after Shanahan, Jagr & Straka leave. Kind of risky. Rob L What have you done for us lately?

For years I have been singing Whooooooaaaaaaaoooooooo. I even have my wife sing the song sometimes! Well on 2/5 after Avery's goal I looked up and the big scoreboard said GOAL!!!!! and then Hey! They are actually giving us the lyrics!!! Liza, I too was at that game and had a life altering event. For years I have been singing Whooooooaaaaaaaoooooooo.

I mean if there is any position that you give a little more to, IMO it is your goalie, especially if you have a good goalie. They are definitely hard to come by, and even with his play this year I think he is still one of the best in the world. If you had to rank the top 5 in the world he is on that list.

How can 2 months of bad play discount everything this guy has done for 2 1/2 years? In case you hadn't noticed but the entire team has played like crap for 2 months. You can't blame Lundqvist for this teams lack of scoring or for the countless 2 on 1's he encounters every game.

If he thinks he had pressure on him before. Wait until he sees what happens after his next bad stretch of games. Not sure who mentioned Brodeur. He gave Lou a big hometown discount. It's a way that successful teams STAY successful. I really wish slats didn’t agree to that limited NTC. Hank really took us to the cleaners. If he thinks he had pressure on him before.

The cap next year should be 54m and if it continues at a similar rate will be at least 60m when we hit the mid point of Gomer and Hank's contracts. A contract like that for Hank means we will be shopping Montoya, his cap hit of £1.8m is too much for a back-up given that Vally is doing a good job at a third of that money. Another thing about spening money locking up your best players means that we cannot sign too many vets or UFA's and when Shanny, Straka and Jagr are gone they will be replaced with young talent from within, apart from maybe 1 big money free agent (or via trade) winger - bring on Marian Hossa i say.

He sure as hell better start earning it as soon as possible. Lunquist’s 6-year 6.5M deal far too much money, particularly the way he’s been playing lately.
