DiPietro injured again....

[old_mosely]

Looks like a mild groin strain. Out for tonight and probably more.

this really isn\'t a surprise is it??

perhaps instead of an \'injury update\' for guys like dipietro, gaborik, kariya, forsberg, etc., we should have a thread for when they actually play...

LOL

That would help so many people

As a DiPietro owner in my keeper league, just another dagger to the heart.

I saw Eric Idle outside my poolie team headquarters today pushing a cart and shouting \"Bring Out Yer Dead\".....

If only DP had the moxy to say \"It\'s But A Flesh Wound.....\"

:angry:

Wow....just wow. Too bad the NHL doesnt have non-guarenteed contracts like football does. Then the Isles could have possibly rectified this mistake.

Then again, the same could be said for the Stars.


.....And the f#*%ing Rangers.

If you take a glance at my sig. you\'ll see it\'s been a tough year in net for me.

I\'m just hoping DiPietro can come back and finish somewhat strong so I can try to get something from him this offseason. I\'d rather he was someone else\'s problem.

Sell him for the best deal humanly possible, even if you feel like you could get a better deal if he was consistently healthy. Like you said, let somone else deal with his shit and if you get anything of value in return, its a successfull trade.

I remember when he signed the contract and everyone was up in arms over it, I thought that if he could stay healthy this deal wouldn\'t be so bad. Afterall, $5 mil a season for a starting goalie isn\'t that bad.

Now, this could go down as one of the worst contracts out there. The only one happy is Dipietro; he\'s getting a lot of money for doing nothing!

I wouldn\'t be surprised if in the next round of collective bargaining that non-guaranteed contracts aren\'t put on the table. If I was an owner, I\'d be pushing hard for it.

Just my $.02

I think that would be reasonable for very long contracts. Im sure the Isles wish they had a do over on Dipietro. They got very lucky with the Yashin contract.

Imo, something like 1-7 year deals should be guarenteed. If you **** up, too bad. Anything more than that and you cannot predict 8-10 years in the future. Those contracts should be non-guarenteed. Who really thought Dipi or Gaborik(potentially) could spend 10 years injury free?
