it wasn't a question guys, do you see a question mark in that post?

Yeah, I read that wrong. Thought you were assuming we're trading the entire team for a guy like that.

Who will Hartnell be playing with if RJo holds out?

“I think that – I would guess, and this is sort of an education guess, but I can’t say it’s 100 percent accurate, like most of my work – but I would guess that Columbus is willing to go in the low 4, maybe 4 range for Johansen. And I think his ask has been around 6, maybe a little bit higher, though I think it’s come down to around 6. So I think there’s a significant gap there.

“And the question comes down to – I always believe it comes down to the client at the end of the day... it’s going to be hard, when you’re a young player that’s 21 years old, to say ‘I’m willing to miss games to get what I think is right’ and I wonder in this situation if that’s what it’s going to come down to.

“So I think there’s a lot of stubborn people on both sides on this one. A lot of people who really like to stick to their guns and believe passionately in what they’re doing.

“I always hate saying this, because I’m worried Johansen is going to sign, but the last information I had Dean, was it’s a really tight battle.”

It's amazing how inept Goodell is. He has a couple of jobs. Work for the owners, and make sure the NFL is a cash cow.... The thing is Bozo the clown could accomplish both of these objectives. Goodell can't get out of his own way.

I hope the Ravens cutting Rice, doesn't take the heat of Goodell. I'm afraid it will though.

I'd probably play him with Anisimov, but he and Dubinsky could be annoying as Hell to play against

He seriously needs to do nothing about 96% of the time. Just make sure no one gets caught breaking the law and collect your check.

That's literally and completely his job. Show the hell up, speak in coherent sentences and don't upset the apple cart.

I mean seriously...you basically have a legal version of crack. NFL owners have a ticket to print money. Jeffrey Lurie bought the Eagles in 1994 for $195mm. Three years ago, Forbes said they were worth $1.2 Billion.

The Buffalo Bills are for sale, and are expected to fetch close to $1 billion and they play in a 41 year old stadium in a small market.

Seems like it's not as good as NHL14...especially if Ghost isn't on the roster.
