and the great Bill Waters picks them to go to the western final.

Increase the rink size, even to just the hybrid size at the WCs, and those goons will fade away from memory...

8 mil /8yrs for Kessel. Ballsy move.

Lots of $$$ for a player like him.

If you break it down he is not an 8 mil player, maybe 6.5

8 million seems to be the new standard for first line players...Your plan to offer the Sedins 4.5 or let them walk and replace them with top 6 UFA signings just got a little more difficult.

Top ten scorer, point per game player in the playoffs, defensive game is getting better every year (not close to a selke but better) and he's got a new found edge.

Ice size is all about revenue. Increase it and you lose seating. Sure it doesn't matter in Florida but every night sellouts in other cities?

He had 15 points in two playoff seasons in Boston so he obviously had more than 7 games in the playoffs. I don't think you guys are counting those games.

He has 22 career playoff games and has 21 pts. Thats a great record. In saying that I dont think he is worth 8mil a year. But I definitely think he is a 6.5 - 7.5 mil player. 7 Mil would have been the ideal contract I think for him.

Forgot about the Boston years.
Not a fan of these big contracts, for any team.
