iinatcc Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 This place is going to have a meltdown once he's gets 70 pts but I suspect some people will still call him "selfish", "can't defend" or Bustaroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guenther was great in the WJ's and I was a bit like good lord. Shit this didn't work out. If we had Guenther right now, absolutely we'd be happy. We don't so we can say things like what a terrible signing. As for that, on principal for me it is a terrible signing. For either Guenther or the club. Edit: Just so you know, I think the league's blowing their load on both ends now. RFA and UFA. And we as fans and quite a few teams, are going to suffer as a result.

But I bet the players that pan out would make more money if they were restricted to 4 years. These deals are all about getting as much money as you can even if you don't pan out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
