Really, Ken? Wow. You can make up for it by throwing the vault at Suter. Just sayin'. - mcnadeau Tue, 03 Jul 2012 04:47:45 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4726-july-1-2012#comment-21573 I think Garrison is fine for $4mil - $5mil is too much. less is gravy. Had theodore in a pool, so I watched a lot of panthers games. of course he will never score 16 goals again, but if you have a d who can saucer the puck to him on the pp (like campbell this year)he might come close. he does eat minutes, he is strong defensively, and he plays physical. edmonton should sign him, given their lack of d. - pattywins Sun, 01 Jul 2012 14:54:25 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4726-july-1-2012#comment-21559 To me, it sounds like Paul Martin before he signed with the Pens. He got 5 mill per year, and the team regrets it. If Garrison truly wants to come home to Vancouver, I'd hope he signs a deal around 3.5/year. Garrison pales in comparison to Bieksa and Hamhuis, who are [u]below[/u] the 5 mill mark on their cap hit. - Brady19 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 07:27:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4726-july-1-2012#comment-21558 You'd be disappointed then. Garrison is no Jackman. Jackman's Ballpark ---> [] Garrison's location ----> . Garrison is far from it. - Dobber Sun, 01 Jul 2012 07:06:01 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4726-july-1-2012#comment-21557 no. barret jackman is a fantastic defensive defencman- one of the best. he just signed a contract for 3.1 million. it was largely regarded as a home-town discount deal. thing is, that is all jackman does. he doesn't play near the minutes of a garrison, or contribute in the variety of ways that a garrison can. i would give garrison $5mil a season and be happy to have him on my top pairing for the next five years. - InnocentBystander Sun, 01 Jul 2012 06:45:42 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4726-july-1-2012#comment-21556 In real life, a defensive gem who eats up a lot of minutes are a dime a dozen and worth $2 million. He'll sign for over $4 million because of the 16 goals. Period. Just like Ron Hainsey. And rest assured - he won't get 16 goals a second time. So Garrison fans start putting your "defensive gem" case together so you can defend this contract in 18 months!! - Dobber Sun, 01 Jul 2012 06:39:18 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4726-july-1-2012#comment-21555 I agree. I think Garrison at $4.5 million would make a sound investment for most teams. - angus Sun, 01 Jul 2012 05:47:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4726-july-1-2012#comment-21554 garrison is one of the best defensive d-men in the league. he is a responsible, top pairing minute eater who can help your powerplay and penalty kill. he may not score 16 goals again, but his shot isn't going anywhere, and it totally changes the way teams have to penalty kill against his team. it opens up space for others on the ice. he doesn't need to score 16 goals to earn a big paycheck. very underrated defenceman in many circles, but he will prove vety valuable to whomever s able to sign him. think you got this one totally wrong, dobber. maybe not a great fantasy option, but in real life - garrison is a gem.... - InnocentBystander Sun, 01 Jul 2012 05:26:29 +0100
