Minor Re-Signings...#2

W/C. Chris Porter (Blues): 1 Year Extension (2-Way) 

-$600K Per Year (NHL) & $105K Per Year (AHL)

Thoughts:

I like Chris Porter and I think its a smart move for the Blues to bring him back. But, I think they would be better off having him primarily spend his time in the AHL and using him as a 1st call-up type player.

D. Mike Vernace (Lightning): 1 Year Extension (2-Way) 

(Money Not Released Yet)

Thoughts:

He is a solid depth player and it never hurts to have too much defensive depth.

LW. Mathieu Darche (Canadiens): 1 Year Extension 

-$700K Per Year

Thoughts:

Love this deal for the Habs, and I think Darche showed this season how effective he can be. He worked his butt off every game and did what ever he was asked to do. He played the bottom-six winger role well and was a good source of secondary scoring as he finished the season with 12 goals and 14 assists for 26 points in 59 games.
