DBAHO Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 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.

DBAHO Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 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.

EvilJester99 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Hawks just signed a Goon... Hired Goon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 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.

kapkomet Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 The Avalanche are my favorite team, so I follow them a lot... and from what I hear they might keep Kariya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rejected a 3 year 1.6 million a season deal from Colorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
