BearOnIce Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hope he enjoyed watching the Bertuzzi goal.. He looked like an occasional tourist. He had a great view.. $4.2M? Nope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanc Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hope he enjoyed watching the Bertuzzi goal.. He looked like an occasional tourist. He had a great view.. $4.2M? NopeApparently he thinks he is worth even more than that. His agent has been floating Wisinewski money (6 years, $33 mil). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Carle finished the game as a +1, Kronwall a -1. I guess Kronwall is overpaid too huh? Carle also played almost two more minutes in a team-losing effort.http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/boxscore;_ylt=A2KLPz5nsDlPKCQASQN7vLYF?gid=2012021205I think people are unfairly ripping into Carle when there is a much more...systematic...problem. This is a current topic in other threads, so I won't rehash here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanflyer Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 @bryancI don't think Wisniewski is worth that money let alone Carle. I am not a Carle basher, but 5.5 for 6 years is too much for Carle. I was thinking high end 4.5, low end 4.2, for three years. He will be 30 and can go get another pay day then.

Podein25 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The Carle Haters can suck it. The evidence is in: http://thehockeyguys.net/matt-carle-vs-ryan-suter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) I don't consider myself a Carle basher, but I also don't think he deserves that big of a raise honestly. I really don't feel like he's done all that much improving since he's gotten here. He's been consistently the same player for the most part. He's not terrible but he's not amazing either. I think his current rate is about what I'd offer him again really. Unless I'm missing something.edit: apparently what I'm missing is the link in @Podein25 s post Edited February 14, 2012 by Spinorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a current topic in other threads, so I won't rehash here.That is reason team lost, he is over played.I never liked this guy, he had good season, when he was with pronger, then as same as any d-man. he doesn't score, shot wide a lot.

NopeMaybe the Grossman trade is his (Carle) potential replacement (body on the blueline not playing style).And more affordable to resign i'm sure.He's a stay at home Dman.Wouldn't mind maybe resigning him but i believe Carle is going to demand big bucks, way more than i believe him being worth.But he maybe eyeballing Wisnewski money..sorry no thanks.Buh-bye!Edit: He also has good size. Here's to praying he knows how to use it better than Coburn........... Edited February 16, 2012 by OccamsRazor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's to praying he knows how to use it better than Coburn...........I agree.Bye bye.These defencemen are getting astronomical money. On average much more than any of them are worth.

mojo1917 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Boy, Nashville's D looked bad against Wings. Got undressed by Pavel D.Datsuyk isn't exactly chopped liver , he's probably the best stick handler in the league. he's undressed lots of defensemen in his day... um that doesn't sound right , he's skillfully faked out many defensemen while he's played...

doom88 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Agreed. It isn't like Weber and Suter were being schooled by the sensational stick skills of one Jody Shelly. Let's keep some perspective here...it's freakin' Datsyuk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
