These lower salaries are great!

Malkin 8 year $76Mil

Lockout what? Remember how everyone was saying salaries are going to go down because the cap is going down?

does that mean vanek gets 7?

the only lower salaries are going to be for the middle of the road and lesser players.. because they have to make up for these mammoth ones for the stars.. just like the US the gap between the high paid and lower paid gets bigger

21 year old indy would be hung over in class right now.. but 31 year old indy is just as tired from listening to a crying baby last night. I need to sleep when the sleeping is available right now with a 2 week old baby at home

We got a dog 3 weeks ago and has started training us well on how to wake up to crying at 4-5 am. Away at obedience camp so the fiance and I got some sleep.

Congrats on the baby.

thanks..

she is starting to sleep a little more now.. the first few weeks are the roughest though.. and since my wife isn't working and she is the only one that can feed her, she tries to let me sleep as much as she can..

We got a puppy back when we first got married. it helps a little but they frown upon you putting your child in a crate and putting it in the garage so that you cant here it cry/bark

The owners cried poor because salaries were getting outrageous. You are right though, The Drew Staffords will be amking more than 4 million. I'd be willing to be on it.

Except in Buffalo. Where the average can make $4mil.. just to get them to play here.

question may be a dumb one but is that 15 mil us dollars or 15 mil rubels?

I don't know why anyone would be surprised or upset by this.

I don't think that statement is fully true.. there are certain players who will not want to play in buffalo but I don't think it is a league wide thing

get pretty lucky fiacne changed her schedule to work 7-3 so shes up pretty early so the dog/baby coverage is pretty good

such different times than when we were younger we knew dont cry and make noise or your going in the basement in the crate.

question may be a dumb one but is that 15 mil us dollars or 15 mil rubels?

if its rubels then its only a 467144 contact us dollar
- hubie

you seriously have to ask?

how many players who get drafted here leave right away? Very few, everywhere has its sterotypes and Buffalo has a negative one till you live here.

But I think that happens everywhere. Chris Collins gets a new gig never leaves his home in Ft Thomas KY. When you establish a home you keep it.

you seriously have to ask?

I assume us dollars but how in the f would a russian team afford 15 mil us. IM an athlete not a mathlete

It's nice watching the actual 2 best teams play in the Stanley Cup
- sbroads24

Totally agree. I knew it was going to be good and they delivered. The B's capped on some mistakes, but overall I thought the Hawks had more jam.

1 us dollar = 32.11 rubels

15 x 32.11 = oh sorry 481.65 ergo 481,650,000
