you want to pay that turd $2.2m? go right ahead. First of all we don't have $2.2 of cap space left, second of all, I'd rather waive fitzpatrick and bring back columbe and waive chouinard and bulis and use that money to swing a deal for a second line winger. our defense is better this year, and lunongo, tho letting in a softy here and there, is way better than clouts (pulled tonight after stopping 2 of 5 shots in 9 mins against PHOENIX). our problem is we can't score.
and i don't see the logic in paying $2.2m in a capspace world for a dman who scores ONE shootout goal in 82 games. granted is was a good goal. he got paid not for his offense or his physcial play, but apparently somethings there cuz he was +35 on a team that got scored on almost as much as it scored. :crazy:
a good defensive defender is one that doesn't get noticed (ie ohlund, or neidermeyer) and malik got noticed a fair bit (box). ah well. he wasn't THAT bad but i never liked him so no convincing me otherwise. |

Naslund: "Well I think it's pretty funny. Especially when you hear him [Rory] talk about it. He's just as surprised as the rest of us. But it's nice. Pretty funny.
Morrison: "Yea I think it's pretty cool. He has my full support. I mean I haven't actually physically sat down and voted, still need to do that, but I'm talking morally, He has all my support"
Luongo: "Yea I've got to get back to my room sit down and keep voting. I voted quite a few times earlier and so I got to get back on the computer now. It's cool"

In the so called "New NHL" and the insane contracts, 2.2 for Malik is a great deal. Waiving all those players would never happen because, they suck are are over paid. Teams have to actually so intrest and claim them off waivers for us to clear some cap space. Are you just pissed because he screwed up on the Gelinas goal in game 7 of '04? I really think Malik was solid and has played much better defesivly in the NY. |

gelinas is insane, such a clutch playoff performer. sad we let him go. he's aged now and pretty much done.
nah every time i turned the tube on malik was taking a dumb penalty or the other team had a wall of their players either untouched and screening or running our goalies over. malik was brought in as a stay at home physical defenseman. his lack of speed didn't help but we had offensive dmen for that anyways. but what bothered me was from what i saw (and i admit i didnt watch every game, not even half really) he wasn't physical. while almost every dman we have takes penalities, he was taking ones that seemed to result in a goal against us or ones that would kill any momentum we had or were building. he must have been more solid than i gave him credit for, to put up numbers like he did (+35) on a team that ran the run-and-gun. |
