Why did we ever get rid of Engelland, refresh my memory please? Went to Calgary if I recall correctly?
Calgary signed Engelland to a contract WAAAAY beyond his worth/ability, 3 year deal worth 2.9M a year.
Okay thanks for the info, I always thought he was a decent defenseman, could've used a guy like that this season here.
I said at the time, and I still hold to it now... (obviously with no proof)...
Engelland's agent called him and said "Calgary offered 3 years, $2.9M"
Engelland, "Alright, I suppose almost a million a year is good." (thinking that it was $2.9M over the 3 years)
Agent, "What? Wait, no. It's $2.9M per year for 3 years."
Engelland, "..."
Agent, "I'll just get the paperwork going."
