Some of you are so frustrating. So godamned afraid to have a bad contract that you're just happy as can be to let an elite franchise altering player float right on by and say "phew, dodged a bullet"
And all this after just watching our young team turn a corner and finally look elite for a good stretch of the season, only to have the playoffs be an embarrassment mainly due to terrible goaltending.
Pekka Rinne broke into the league in his late 20s, had a few elite seasons and at 30 signed a 7 year $7 million per year contract. He's in year 5 of that contract right now and has even had a few down years in that span, do you think the Preds regret signing that deal?
Whatever. Is what it is. If Dallas signs him I hope I'm dead wrong and he stinks up the joint and makes me look like an idiot for the next 6 years. I seriously doubt it though. He'll probably have a down year or two in there, but when he's on he will carry that team to strong regular season finishes and deep playoff runs.
