As my agent and GM I want 30 million a year! Who would be the one to dispute the deal? lol. Who cares if he gets fired? He just banked 10% of a $240mil deal.

So, is that after they CBO him and he sits out a year?

Unless he blows people away, I don't want him playing more than the 9 games tryout?

they're wrong just as often as right. no data - that's my eyeball test. i think he could have easily found a spot on that 3rd pair.

Let's be honest. We can pretty much all agree that's Gus ceiling right? This really makes no difference. There's 5 -10 Gus's out there in UFA who will all sign for about 1 mil

Well that's too bad. I don't think he got a fair shake at a steady spot in the lineup. I feel like the more he played the better he would have gotten.

No way. He's almost as good and desired as Rafael Diaz.

He didn't get a fair shake. At the same time, we're not exactly talking Shea Weber, or even Keith Yandle here. Though I'm sure the, "How do you know?" arguments will be in full effect.

It's true his ceiling had definite limitations but I honestly thought the more he was a regular in the lineup the stronger he got. Just feels like a wasted asset at this point.

I keep hearing gusty didn't get a fair shake or enough ice time. Is it possible there is a reason for this?

He did play better (as do all players) the more the played. But he was never going to be a game-changing force. He was a small defenseman who had mediocre offensive skills and was good at defensive puck retrievals. That's about it.

Maybe he'll jet from the KHL and move into the front office on an NHL team somewhere. There's a few vacancies, I hear.

You should check this hilarious video out: it's like a food challenge from a guy from Finland and a buncha Texans who think they can handle any food challenge.

Edit: damn didn't realize the language. NSFW.
PM me for the YT link. Easily one of the best vids on YT.

Holmgren takes the Pitt GM post, hextall elevated to president of the city of philadelphia and Shero takes over as GM/coach. Trade Giroux and mason for Crosby and fleury, rush morin, Haag and ghost, and Berube replaces rosebud on the 4th line. It's all becoming clear now

So what's the mood like over there in Pens Town today?

I take it from your earlier comment in this thread that you're a bit befuddled?
