Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

The biggest news today in the NHL is obviously going to be this: The Blues have signed Swedish center Patrik Berglund to a two-year deal worth $4.5 million total.

We all should have seen this coming—the Blues love two-year deals. The cap hit isn't terrible and it's nice that this won't drag into the summer.

Berglund had great rookie year, a bad sophomore year and turned into a beast in the last few months of last season season. There were rumors he was spending too much time partying, but he seemed to wake up after Erik Johnson was traded (another guy who may have spent too much time partying). Berglund played great down the stretch and was arguably the best player in the World Championships.

So what say you, GT crew. Good deal? Too short? Too much money?

Two years is good.

If Bergie stays good, he’ll get a three or four-year deal at the end of this contract.

Long Enough - Right Amount

It’s a great contract for a player/team that has a short leash. They both need to go out and perform up to expectations. There’ll be time to reevaluate from the top down after next season.

Besides, without a new owner, there’s only so much they can do.

I like this

I just hope he starts the season the way he ended this past one. If he does and keeps it up, BIG contract will follow.

I think it's a great deal

Like Paperwork Ninja said, if it works out, he’ll be due for a long-term deal. Hopefully he keeps the motivation he had at the end of the season and in the World Championships into next season.

I echo everything here.

Especially the part about the bitches loving Bergie because Bergie just knows how to rock.

I believe this keeps him a RFA at the end of the deal. If that’s the case this is an excellent move. If we get the player we saw in the last 1/3 of this year this is going to be a steal.
