He just wanted to fuck with Leaf fans.

I can appreciate that desire.

Except that he fucked with Sabres fans too

I'm now distinctly worried about those Malkin rumors from a few weeks back. Who the hell knows what's going on.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

yah ... i posted about it this morn and completely forgot it still could happen lol

that would be the topper to this day

/ patience @Bloody Brian Burke

Just seems like it would be too low for that, no? Even with endorsement money that would be one fucking crazy hometown discount.

every other team could only offer 7 years no?

so the effective equivalent would be a 68 shmill offer over 7 years - 9.71 AAV

I heart Stamkos

Yep. Maybe that made the difference one way or the other.

when Pratt talked about the whole sign and trade possibility for Stammer and i posted it i wanted to ask you guys if you heard it said by any of the other hockey sources because i thought he was talking out of his ass lol

Anyone know Weber's cap hit off hand? All of this activity seems to have crashed all of the cap sites.

This league, man.

Someone I saw said he's about the same AAV, but his deal goes until he is 40. Cannot confirm.

But lol

$7.8m

It's just under $8M, like $7.857, I think...just had the page up. Also it's that for 10 more years. And he's 31.

Am I crazy because I think Roman Josi has been better than Shea Weber for the last two seasons?!?

Chiarelli, Bergevin and Lamoriello after today's action:

If it were PK for Josi I'd be a lot more understanding of this.

Significantly. Weber absolutely peaked already, he's on the decline in his career. I'm pretty confident in saying Subban hasn't peaked yet. He's entering his prime, Weber is exiting it. Again, Weber is still a top 4 talent, but Subban is a bonafide #1 star defenseman. WHY DOES THE LEAGUE UNDERVALUE THESE GUYS?! Seriously. Karlsson, Letang, Subban. They're elite and valuable.

Jay Feaster is probably wondering how he can get in on today's action...

 

[forty_three]

So, need to put a big red circle around the Preds game in Montreal...

 

[pixburgher66]

Respect, man. Respect.
