View From My Seats

Anyone that has been around VFMS for any extended period of time knows that I’m a loyal, dedicated, border-line obsessive Kings fan. Usually when I throw together articles or research statistics for a particular piece, I try to put my Kings hat aside and write with a level of objectivity. Of course it will seep through from time to time, but at least there’s an effort. Most days I attempt to maintain a certain level of professionalism. Today is not one of them. Today I’ll be using words...

Which Winger Would You Want?...

For the most part, we’ve known that there were 3 high priced wingers that were most likely to change teams on July 1st. It’s a day after the Free Agent Frenzy, and none of the big-name guys disappointed. Here’s a quick rundown on the contracts that it took to bring in a legitimate top-line wings this offseason. - Marian Hossa: 12 years for $62.8 million ($5.23M cap hit) - Marian Gaborik: 5 years for $37.5 million...

Free Agent Day with the Red Wings...

As the resident Wings fan here at VFMS, I was asked my opinion on the (now) ex-Wings players that went running on Free Agent day. The two that went to the Blackhawks are who I would like to particularly talk about. I am the first to admit that when the Wings picked up Marian Hossa last year I was pretty happy. Not only did we take him from the Pens (which was just fun as a Wings fan), but I was looking forward to seeing...

Scott Gomez (and Salary) Traded to the Habs...

Salary Dump: Trading a good player with an inflated salary for the sole purpose of saving money. Here’s how they usually work. Team A will trade the horrible contract to Team B. They will also throw in a blue-chip prospect for the effort. Team B usually sends back a couple of fringe players so it looks like a legit trade. It’s normally a win-win for two teams that have differing objectives. Team A wants to get...

The Sedin’s Contract Conundrum...

Ask any Canucks fan what they think of the Sedin’s, and you’re bound to get an answer. You might hear that they want too much money. You might hear that GM Mike Gillis is a cheap bastard. You might even hear that they’d make a good name for a website. Whatever you hear, just about everyone has an opinion on what the Canucks should do about their identical free agent problem. It’s hard to believe that the Sedin’s...
