Gaustad signs 4-year $9.2 million
June 30th, 2008 by PeterSYup, you heard that right…at least according to TSN. The Sabres 3rd line center and occasional power play guy just signed a deal for an average of $2.3 million per season. All I can say is….EEK! There’s a lot of money out there right now, and the salaries are going crazy. I was thinking Goose would be fetching in the $1.5 per annum range. I wanted to get my initial impression down right away, and that is shock…I’m glad he signed. I like the guy a lot, he’s tough and he’s always giving his all, but for his size he is not particularly physical, and he is not gonna give you much scoring punch…Darcy, Larry and the gang must think he still has some upside…either that or they think contracts are going to get waaaaayyy out of hand very soon.
I must say, I didn’t think there would be any Sabres news in the first day of free agency, I don’t think they will make a big move. But this is pretty big news. What are Paille and Bernier going to get? And will there be room for that much needed D-man? Stay tuned!
