I want someone to offersheet McDavid a maximum salary contract for the hilarity.

Save the "Why would he pass up 14 mil per?"

But... a player doesn't have to sign a max offer sheet.

McDavid could really want to have other pieces around him and know signing a max offer sheet and even having it matched would limit the pieces around him.

Having said that... see the post I quoted

Presented without comment.

This organization should feel shame and be dissolved immediately.

Rob "Ice Cream/Spiderman/Heel" Rossi shouldn't even be a member, much less an elected leader.

Maybe him calling head coaches of other teams mean names should have clued people in that he is in no way "professional", but nope.

The weird thing about Reaves is that he isn't noticeably bad. You'll definitely notice him charging across the ice to lay a hit and to forecheck well sometimes, but his underlying numbers are terrible. You're not gonna say "GODDAMMIT REAVES" as he turns the puck over often, but that's probably because he rarely has the puck to begin with.

You just wait until Mike Sullivan gets a hold of him!

Sullivan would either scream at Yakpuov til he hosed back to Russia or he'd mold him into another irritating fast Penguin.

Yak should definitely sign for either an ultra poo poo team where he gets lot of ice like the Devils or go to someone really good who can deploy him properly and build his value that way.

Agreed.

I'll take a cheap Yak on the 4th line of the Penguins

I think Bonino's will end up making somewhere close to 4 million a year for 3 years. Unless he stays with the pens and give some a discount.

Also, let's bring Jordan Staal back to Pittsburgh, just so I can scream "Staal face spotted" every time he scores in te playoffs.

Rumors today were that the Pens were interested in Duchesn again. The talk was a Prospect (or maybe 2, or some draft pick/prospect combination) and Maatta for him.

They are going to want Sprong + and thats a non starter for me.

Calgary's got their back-up.

So... how many games is Cam Ward going to start?

# ¿ Jun 30, 2017 01:40

Krime: Jul 30, 2003; Somebody has to do the scoring around here.

Just to clarify the happenings of last year.

Regular season
MAF starter, Zatkkoff backup

Neal domes MAF giving him concussion

Murray starter, Zatkoff backup

Murray goes on a big run, gets injured by the Flyers in a game he shouldn't have played.

Playoff game 1 & 2 Zatkoff starter, Jarry backup

Then it was Murray / Zatkoff until MAF was back.

Yup. According to Bobo on twitter, teams/agents weren't allowed to talk specific numbers with regards to term and price so it's gonna be funny if there are teams that agreed to deals but they end up arguing over actual numbers.

I think that would be funny, but it's probably either all but ignored or ....

"Let's say if I wrote a number down on a piece of paper and turned around... and when I turned back around that paper is gone, well... I wouldn't go looking for it." (wink wink)

As evidenced by the Elliot to the Flyers details.

Juvi posted:

Forgot about Juice! He'd be a decent 4th liner. Does he kill penalties? I think that's really the big need because they lost a lot of PK unit.

I say let Sid take a crack at it. His defensive game has really improved over the last couple years and giving Sid more minutes is never a bad thing.

I want Sid nowhere near the PK.

I'm still trying to figure out what Ottawa's D pairings will be. Do they put Phaneuf up with Karlsson? And then who do they saddle Ceci with?

Karlsson will be paired with everyone. He will never leave the ice.

Ottawa will have 5 D pairings.

I hope Tocchet does well with the Coyotes, but he just doesn't strike me as a HC type of guy.

Recchi on the bench... ok, whatever. I really like them adding Gonchar to the staff. How does he go from part-time to full-time though? Was he just not there all the time last year?

"Hey, Sarge... can you come in today to work with the PP?"

RE: Adidas apparel chat

Invoices have a ship date of 9/1 so you should see new gear in stores shortly.

Adidas produced many more items than Reebok had been in the past... So maybe Adidas isn't quite as bad as the Reebok division.
