Bill Guerin Re-signs


Billy Guerin resigned with the Penguins yesterday and avoided becoming a UFA. SI reports that Guerin took a big paycut to stay in Pittsburgh. Although he is a fellow Boston College Eagle, I really don't see why he would be valued at more than $2m per year. He's 38, scored 48pts last season, and only recorded points in the first 3 rounds of this year's playoffs.

He's a great player, but if someone could argue that is he worth the $4.5m he made last  year and his new contract came at a discount, I'd like to hear it.

I think the $2m is right on given his age, prodcution, comparable players, and stagnant salary cap.

I think he’s probably worth something in the $3- to $3.5-million range. He did take a paycut of some sort.

I thought I heard somewhere that it goes to about $2.85-million if certain conditions are met. I could easily be wrong.

Penn Staters belong at Penn State. The problem with a lot of kids is they just don’t know they are Penn Staters yet. -jesse. @ BSD
