Great news! Hoping it's $5.5M/yr (accounts for recent cap rises).

Woo hoo! Great news!
I'll guess 5.6 mil cap hit... put him on par with Lubo for highest paid Oilers.

And for what it's worth, I'd take him over B. Richards any day.

qft. You don't just dertermine a top center by points. Horcoff is one of the best 2 way centers in the league.

What a difference a year makes...How many people here wanted Horcoff traded before last season (raise your hands)..now those same people are rejoicing about the extension...
GREAT NEWS!

And Zetterberg. Wow, completely forgot about that.
Mike Richards plays defense and offense. He's better than Horcoff, trust me.

Horcoff is the epitome of a defensive forward.

Mike Richards had a great season this year but Horcoff is a much better player.

So they are saying 6 years at 33 mil. That's 5.5 mil, I was close!

Mike Richards is a better player.
Based on centers who play both ends, Pavel Datsyuk has to be considered the best.

I guess $5.5 isn't bad...although I was hoping for more like $5-$5.25.
Yes, I'm that stingy about the cap. Every dollar counts.
