Ignore ignoramuses who question you. It's their fault, not yours.

I may not agree with your takes on things, but it's just dumb to insult people over it , and being bothered by people you have no value for gives them "power" in their own mind - don't give in clown!!

I see a lot of fit bits in recent porn
- homiedclown

These fitbit things are kinda like watches, right? They go on your wrist???

I don't watch a lot of porn, but when I do, I'm focusing elsewhere.

I am done commenting on what I hear

when I get laughed at when 2 sources throw stupid high numbers players want, and get laughed at, I have no time for my character to be questioned

common sense an agent is going to ask for much more than what they will settle for in opening numbers

and one agent mentioned "he played in an NHL all star game"
- homiedclown

I've never doubted you when it comes to sharing what players may be asking for, it's just for me, I could really care less what they ask for as all that matters is what they will agree to, and if either of those two think they are getting anywhere near what they are asking, good luck to them as somebody else can make that mistake.

I'm not saying Girgensons won't eventually be worth $4M or Foligno, should he actually be consistent for an entire season, be worth $3M, but no way either is worth that now.

For me, $2.5M is about the max either is worth, and not on a long term deal either. I would say $5.5M total for both is about the most I would go.

McCabe-Risto
Gorges-Bogo
Guhle-Franson

McCabe is playing too much in this scenario, but it's the only R/L scenario that makes sense to me. We need top-4 help badly

Edit: Forgot Pysyk. Franson would be the extra D

oh I agree

the agents are starting out with unrealistic numbers

I think we all have a good laugh at what many, many players ask for when it comes time to negotiate a new deal.

And like I said, I don't agree with what you say (or pass on) - I think that is ridiculous in regards to Girgensons - but I'm also not going to berate you or anyone who would post rumors

Those of us who don't know your friend can/should freely criticize the info, but going the lengths of insulting people for posting it is stupid.

And as a former basher of someone who poster rumors, I know what the posts are like (though to defend myself, my bashing wasn't so much of the rumors than the self-congratulations of said poster)

I have a very, very difficult time seeing him getting any more than $2.5M per on a short term deal with the season he just had. His agent is reaching and he knows it. The team holds all the cards in this situation.

Well...that was a different kind of bashing...but that's not who I was referring to, and not going to mention anyone either (other than saying it's not 89 that I mean either).

Not calling him into question, but pretty sure you've posted other info over time and not sure what any success ratio is. And that's not to say this person is full of crap either since rumors and negotiations are just that - conversations that may never end up coming to fruition.

player x wants 4 per, sabres want 1.7 per


ends up in the middle


player y wants 3 per, sabres want 1.8 per

ends up in middle



this puts girgens around 2.6 per on a bridge deal, which is a tad over what I expect and foligno around 2.4 per which is realistic
