I was gonna say this about Andrew Ladd and Troy Brouwer re Vancouver ... they could sign here ... pocket the money and move into their respective mom and dads basements

LIVIN THE LIFE!!!!

WOWIE ZOWIE....that is a heck of a deal for CBJ. He must have really enjoyed it there.

That's a fucking steal for Columbus.

Yes, but now they gotta dump some salary (Hartnell, Tyutin, and wait for it...wait for it...BOLL!)

Geez, at 5.3 million, Stamkos can buy a downtown condo in Vancouver and have enough left over for a Ford Fiesta.

Conversely, now Seth Jones can buy a house on Jack Niklaus' Muirfield course, two or three Ferraris and possibly his own jet.



It's cheap to live here.

If no deal is in place today to trade Boll or Tyutin, both will be on waivers by CoB today for buyout tomorrow.

That will give them enough to afford Jones. They will hold onto Hartnell and still try to move him and/or Johnson. And keep paying doctors to not clear Clarkson.

At $4.7 million he can live above a bodega in T.O.

/But he can always live at home with his folks in Markham so I'm calling it advantage Leafs.

For $5.2M in Buffalo he can live...well, pretty much anywhere he wants to.

In fact, after 5 years he'd have enough to buy an entire 40 story office building. Granted, it's mostly empty and needs a bit of updating, but still.

After the Jones deal, just gonna throw out there that the B's would be certifiably fucking insane to offer sheet Trouba.

You make it sounds like Chiarelli doesn't know what.......oh errrr....

I think it's pretty fair value given what he's accomplished. His upside makes it a potential steal but as of now has he really done more than, say Morgan Rielly? Or even Cody Ceci for that matter?

That Jones deal...is wonderful. Wondering how they managed it really.

I consider it a steal because I think he could've been offer sheeted for $6 or 7 million. Although I guess Rielly could've as well.

Really makes me wonder why they didn't just wait it out. I don't get the NHL at all when it comes to that.

Trigger dash dancing.

Jarmo only has one pen and wants to get everything done before he loses it.

In about 4 years it could be the best contract in the league. In Nashville he was behind Josi and Weber and here he was on a really shit team. When he finds his stride (playing alongside Werenski) and the team improves around him, he's gonna look great.

And I am shocked at the dollars. Stoked, but really surprised he took it.

That Jones deal...is wonderful. Wondering how they managed it really.

Theory: His agent asked around on what offer sheets could be coming and only Edmonton replied.

"Fuck it. Whatever. I don't even want to think about going there"

 

[BGDave]

Fucking Liberals.

Sidebar. People ask me all the time "would I ever move back to Canada"?

Although I make a small fraction of what Stamkos will make, that is exactly why I would never do it.

Oh, and the GST.
