Souray and Lowe, A Marriage Made In...

Souray finally gets a contract.

I'll let you fill in the rest of the title. Lowe was looking just about everywhere for offense and settled on a defenseman who thinks he's another forward. Souray prevents becoming the latest Jason Allison.

Sadly enough, just over $5 million is about market rate for a player Souray's age and ability. Three years ago in the aftermath of the lockout, the Penguin Scum threw a similar contract at Sergei Gonchar who was 1 year younger at the time of his contract. The Gonchar contract made many of us alternately laugh and scratch our heads.
