Not that any1 cares

 

CHICAGO - The Blackhawks made their first jump into the free agent market, signing Colorado Avalanche winger Matthew Barnaby to a three year deal on Friday morning.

 

(Blackhawkzone.com)The Blackhawks made their first plunge into the free agent market on Friday morning when Colorado Avalanche winger Matthew Barnaby signed a three year 1.8 million deal with the Blackhawks on Friday morning.

 

The Blackhawks were expected to be very unactive in the free agent market until a new Collective Bargaining agreement was reached, so this signing has to be considered somewhat of a surprise, especially when the rumor mill had Barnbay returing to the Easterin Conference.

Barnaby is a FREAK!!!!!LOL

 

I actaully like it though, he always seems to bring something to the table, and is a grinder.

Insurance to be the main power forward, if Daze gets injured again this season. Has a good year though for the Rangers and Avalanche.

Theo Fluery anyone?????

Stay away from strip joints in Columbus and he'll be fine.

Hawks just signed a Goon... Hired Goon.

I wonder if that 1.8 is per year or total for the deal.

Seems to be the total amount, which means 600K per.

That's why they signed him - he's cheap.

Unfortunately, he's also kind of cheap on the ice too.

I'm not a fan of his, so this move doesn't excite me at all.

Met Barnaby a while back, and like most of them, off the ice they're pretty cool. I really don't like Barnaby's antics either, but, actually, when he wants to play he's pretty decent.

Interesting, i thought he would end up playing in Ottawa

Now go get Kariya.

The Avalanche are my favorite team, so I follow them a lot... and from what I hear they might keep Kariya

Now go get Kariya. 

Umm.... No?

 

He couldn't do good on a team like Colorado, what makes you think he'll do good here?

 

Go get Glen Murray.

I wonder what contender Barnaby will be traded to this season??

It's 1.8 million a season. He rejected a 3 year 1.6 million a season deal from Colorado.
