Not even close! I also believe no wussy is worth cockblocking a bud.
And believe me...I've been bested by those types you mentioned as well...but their game is short. Eventually they always lose out in the end.

You have no idea how many times I have taken one for the team and bagged the "friend" so buddies could get some

I have always respected you. I respect you more now.

You’re right, that poop kinda stopped working after 30 for those dudes. The dudes that actually have their poop together get the better picks , especially In our 40’s.

I typed some stuff up about this, but I just can't structure a complete idea today so I'll leave you with this:

Point @ 4mil is unreasonable
Kucherov @ 8mil is also unreasonable

- MaximumBone


Point on a 4x2, hell even a 4.5x2 bridge is completely reasonable. If they don't go the bridge route and take a risk in what he will pan out to be after seeing what he has produced from 2 seasons, 6x5 will likely be the outcome. But if they sign Kovy, I'm certain SY will offer a bridge contract instead and I don't think Point would mind it. Sure it "might" cause long-term implications, but I think acquiring Kovy would make it worth it.

For Kucherov, 8m is totally reasonable. An 8x8 deal makes sense if he is on the same page as Stamkos and Hedman, and considers winning a key objective, as mentioned. I just don't see him making more than Stamkos if he resigns with TBL.

Sounds like Malarkey to me, if you’re really worried your wiener is small and pathetic looking, just go for an Asian bird. You can’t be less hung than an Asian dude. Inconceivable.

To think that I would get a serious response on that matter in hockey forum. Guess I'm still too naive.

Give me comparables for each player that you use to justify those cap hits.

I think you're VASTLY underestimating the impact McDavid's contract has had on the league's financial landscape. Stamkos signed his a year before Connor did and even then it was at a discount to market value. You really believe someone who just scored 100 points (and 86 the year before) is going to take just 1mil more than Kane? Even with Florida state taxes being as they are, I find that awfully improbable.

Biologically speaking, there certainly is the imperative to procreate and mate inside almost everybody, but it doesn't necessarily have to take precedence. Put simply, I have other goals that involve improving myself before I pursue another long term relationship. Maybe there's an underlying goal of aiming for a "higher target" (the target being an exceptional woman) that I haven't fully recognized yet and this is just my way of pursuing it. I guess I'll see in time.

For now, I'm content carrying on with what I am. When the time comes and that changes, I'm sure I'll manage

NEIN. x1000

It mostly has to do with how I was raised up. Being from a strict Catholic background, it was the mentality that was imposed that made me back off from any advances from women in general during junior high and high school. I've definitely had women flirt with me and I liked it, but the mentality made me scared to approach them and develop a relationship because of the way my family viewed it in general. I was scared of how they would react if they found out. They thought the whole BF/GF concept in high school was stupid and that you have to wait until you are old enough to do it all in one go and get married to the first one.

But then again, their ancient tradition as middle easterns (Chaldeans for those that wanna look this poop up) is so out of touch with reality it's disgusting. They treat my sister like she can't do poop and be independent. What they go by is ridiculous in general.

I'll definitely want to strike up a relationship with a girl that I care about someday, but I don't want to force it. If that happens now, great, if not, ah well. Time will tell. I'm young and I have other priorities in life that should also be taken into account. Education, career advances, focusing on my hobbies, exploring the world, and creating things.

The Oilers thread sure has alot of weirdos. I mean with this oilfan guy and hallfan, man you can’t make this stuff up. Oh and let’s not forget about JB, what planet are these guys from?
Those guys would never survive the neighbourhood I grew up in.

I typed it up here ^.

For Kucherov, it's hard to find a comparison because of how he just went supernova this season. Regardless, my thoughts are typed up in the link attached.

The other link (from 2017 btw) for the Kucherov vs McDavid comparison is:
http://www.thelightninglo...-kucherov-get-connor.html

Overall, I disagree with your assessment of how the Connor McDavid Contract completely shifts the league's financial landscape by its magnitude alone.

Edit: Kopitar's contract is at 10m btw, the point still stands though and there are more examples too of how the Kane/Toews deal didn't play a major role in changing the financial landscape in general and with regards to what other players on the same level or better got around at the time.

Nein as in no.
Just for that, I hope Holland gives Jimmy Howard a 8x5y NMC contract extension.

I guess I can see how you'd interpret that way, but I never specified a long term relationship. I just don't like waking up next to people I would otherwise resent Had enough experience with that a few years ago 😅🔫

What the (frank) has happened in here today? Next you'll be talking about skin cleansers & (frank)ing bath towels or robes.

The male species hasn't changed over hundreds of thousands of years - alcohol has replaced our clubs.

Females haven't changed for hundreds of thousands of years - it used to be quicker when the T-Rex roamed the earth to go out & challenge the big (frank)ers & end the suffering. Now, we put up with mortgages, domestication & having to tell them, 'no darling you haven't done anything wrong/put on weight/spent too much money on useless poop/etc etc.
