The Canes have made my day even better.If Viva is going to take $3.5, that means Colesy will get the same, and Staalsy will probably be taking $5M.
This is starting to get a little spendy. Sure, the cap is going up next season, and it is absolutely a good idea to lock these guys down, but just about everyone deserves a big raise, and we might actually have cap issues if everyone gets what they deserve.
In my mind, something here reeks of a Oleg Tverdovsky trade. He has a huge salary that didn't quite flash out in the end.
Wow!!!

What about Commodore? I haven't heard anything about him yet? Isn't he an RFA?
Any rumblings down there about where Dougie Weight might end up if he doesn't stay with the 'Canes? I'd be happy to see both him and Commie here although I have a feeling a lot of Oil fans wouldn't be happy to see Weight in the copper and blue again...
Commodore is indeed an RFA. He's just 26 years old. Jim Rutherford has pledged to match any offer made on any of our restricted free agents. I'm thinking that Commy gets a huge raise and a three year deal.
Doug Weight? We never seriously had any thoughts about him sticking around beyond this season. He might even hang up the skates, but I would guess that he goes back to the blue notes.
Commie signed today, allegedly, for $1.2 and $1.3 over two years (forgive me if I am incorrect on this one, I'm pulling it from memory -- reported at tsn.ca). Good deal for a guy originally thought to be a goon, who suddenly realized he could play hockey.
That's a dang good deal for the Canes, Commodore is a quality player!
