Wouldn't have minded him but no where to put him, I like this guy.

BtownJay · July 3rd, 2008, 09:32 AM

I like him too... but not at almost $5mil a year. He's making just about what Carter is getting. Yuck.

Columbus has cap room, the Rag$ don't.

Why can't he make about what Carter is making?

BtownJay · July 3rd, 2008, 11:28 AM

Carter is 23, Huselius is 30. Huselius was on a line with Iginla (top line) and Carter was on the 3rd line with the likes of Upshall and Knuble. Carter is by far the better all around player right now, and he's 7 years younger. I'll bet anything Huselius doesn't put up near the same points as last year. Maybe assists if they put him with Nash.

I mean i don't care how much he makes, i personally wouldn't want to spend that much on him compared to other players.

Delusional.

Ahh I didn't realize he was that old, I thought he was in the mid 20's so yeah that makes more sense...not sure why i thought he was so much younger, I guess I just thought since he just emerged that he was a young guy.

30 isn't that old for a 4 year deal

I don't disagree with that. Just saying, to me, he's not worth near $5mil a year when he doesn't have Iginla playing next to him.
