Hextall has been as subtle as a punch to the face on this.

Vinny is gonna be the most expensive resident the Cote Suite has ever seen.

I just don't know where he slots in. Who would you take out of the lineup to make room for Vinny?

I think it is well within the realm of possibilities for him to do the same as he did in '13-'14.

If Kane and Toews got 10.5, what do you think Stamkos gets. 8 years @ 89 million?

What the future holds: According to CSN Philly, Voracek's agent, Petr Svoboda, has opened extension talks with the Flyers. The site estimates a five-year contract worth at least $35 million. Cha-ching.

I understand.

But the statement was Vinny having a bounce back season. How does someone have a bounce back season if he is only a fill in for injuries? A guy like Vinny needs to play to be effective and I am not sure he is effective anymore.

Sounds low. At five years I'd think it'd be much closer to $40m.

If his lucky number was seven, maybe he'd settle for 7 years at $7,777,777.
