    2 way?!? Holy Christ. I like it, little to no risk and it could pay off nicely. Glad someone took the chance.

    I think that's just paperwork somehow. Marleau also has a two-way deal. I don't think either one would ever play in AHL.

    Definitely Kovi. I'm quite sure when his agent let it be known that Kovi was willing to play for league minimum he expected to play for a Cup contender tight against the cap. Now he's signed with a playoff contender with cap space to spare.

    With all those injuries to MTL, it's hard to call them playoff contenders, especially with Price playing the way he's been playing lately.

    People are reading way too much into media quotes. He came back to the NHL to play for the Kings (for lots of money). Not exactly a contender. "I want to win" seems to be a good thing for an agent to put out in the media when the guy is looking for a new team, don't you think?

    He obviously felt this team gives him the best opportunity to become relevant again.

    Good thing he's heading to a team where the media doesn't put too big a spotlight on players..........this will not go well
