...and based on the state of management over the winter, no matter what the contract said, there wasn't much choice. They had to retain Dunfield.
I'm interested to see what happens over the course of the summer. Dunfield is obviously expendable. But if he goes, it would be nice to have more Canadian content arriving rather than leaving.
Dumb rule...isn't it?

Was wondering if anyone knows about their contracts was curious about how long, and what you guys think the likely hood is of them staying (resigning) after there contract?
PS. if this belongs in players movement could an admin move it thanks.
The player contracts are generally similar - 2 years plus 2 years optional. I don't think Ryan will want either player unless they cut their paycheques in half. 150k for Ecks, 200 for O'Dea.
think ecks said he's guaranteed thru the end of next year; should qualify for permanent residency before that time; think o'dea is here until 2015; will have qualified for permanent residency by the time that contract expires too
So do you guys think Ecks is here long term, seems like he wants to and although his pay is a bit high I think if he can get CDN resedency it might soften the low of that contract, personally I like Ecks he's one of my favorite players and is pretty good would make a great core player in future years
Just looking at an article I think Ecks contract won't be as big of a deal next year as Frei and Califf will most likely be gone and with recent trade and waives we have roughly 630,400, again roughly calculated but still Frei and Califf ring in at half that amount and they'll be gone
This thread needs to not be stickied, or at the very least updated. The info is highly outdated.
