Yeah, he just wants us to think he doesn't understand how to use the internet. Disinformation. Clever bastard.

Everyone is penciling this kid in like he's a lock, and he's not. Don't even know if he's a top 6 as of now.

Nashville wanted him to play top six minutes right away they basically put all their eggs in the basket thinking that he would help them in the playoffs

I would think that the team is trending upwards more than Boston would also be a factor.

Looks like Okposo did the ole signing bonus trick. First two years total money is $8M but base pay is only $1M. The next 3 years it's even at $3M pay $3M signing bonus. And then it goes down from there.

I dont see how he can turn down Eichel. If he signs it was a genius move by GMTM because I dont think he would have signed after becoming a FA. Now he has to play with Eichel for three months and think about what it would be like to take that line to the NHL.

Clauses
NMC in 2016-17 and 2017-18, Modified NTC (player submits list of 15 teams to which he cannot be traded) starting in 2018-19 for remainder of deal.

An altogether well thought out contract. Also I believe bonuses are due at the beginning of the year in full. So some of the years without NMC it's only $3m in salary with a $6M hit. And the sixth year it's only $2M salary if traded during the season.

I have to admit its better than i originally thought it would be. I wont pretend to know the trade market but I would have preferred someone else via trade. Still a few red flags but truth is this its pretty huge for us to land a top 6 forward without giving up assets.

I think it's much better for us symbolically than the actual product on the ice. We got the big name free agent. Buffalo! And were one of only 4 teams to even get to talk in person to the "almost" biggest FA of all time. And for Fastek that's 100% confirmed. Murray talked about it today.

Well Gerbe. The plane is all ready on route back to Buffalo. Murray said they were going there next week I don't know why he'd lie and have Vesey come here but it is a bit strange

It's actually a shame that not 1 MOD or REF is there to stop anything, I know some don't like Garth's blogs but it's getting out of hand. some have no life that they wait for Garth to post a blog and can't wait to post there.

He has been doing that routine for a year, now. Not everyday, but at weeks at a time until he gets banned. This is the third day in a row he has been in there.

It is always "Reinhart, 2nd overall pick ". Non stop.

It is bizarre.

I dunno? Maybe just a jelly stalker of Sam. First time I have seen his rants . Could be just an alias with nothing better to do.
