It's official. Ryan Malone signs a 7 year, $31.5 million offer with the Tampa Bay Lightning. If you're too lazy to read, that's $4.5 million a year against the Salary Cap with the contract being front loaded, earning him between $7 million and $8 million a year for the first two years.
Can you say over payment? Tampa Bay sure can't.
Bye bye Malone. You brought us all some great highlights during the rough years and while it's good for you that you got your pay day, I'm not too upset to see you go.
The adventure begins tomorrow with spots to fill on offense on both wings with Crosby, Malkin's left wing, a left winger for the 3rd line around Staal and Kennedy, a fourth line around Talbot, and some help on defense. That's at least seven spots that need to be filled. As many as ten, potentially. The next few weeks should be a flurry and we'll keep you posted on the rumors with appropriate warnings and facts when they are facts. In Shero we trust. -Nick
