Yeah the guy with the pen and contract in his hand is an imposter

It's not his choice to make. He can want it all he wants bottom line is it comes down to JB/Green.

Well there is 2 parties and one wants to sign. I swear people like to argue for the sake of arguing.

I said there is lots of talk about Hughes on Twitter and I would not be surprised if he signed soon.

That is not a fact it is an opinion of mine .If I said he is definitely signing then you have a case

Its july, we just had 10 pages of kadri vs sutter. Be happy the topic is about matthews.

I just don't get the media coverage I suppose. It's not like anyone cares right?

Brian Campbell thinks he might be as good of a skater as McDavid right now

Ya alright, I guess I thought him saying that was a bit old hat that's all. Fair enough. there is quite a bit of smoke on twitter.

Arizona offer sheeting matthews would actually help them in the long run though.

That would help distract from the bitter sniping between Matthews and Babcock.
Either way, offer sheet or trade request, his days are number in Toronto.

I think he will be really good but the big question is when.


Gudbrandson may finally earn a paycheck and protect the little guy

EG has been much maligned with most of it his own doing. Maybe Hughes is the answer for him. Lets hope it is.

We could always bring up our dislike for linden....

Marwood rests his case.

That’s wonderful news. The kid is going to be mentored so well our roster is now Boeser, Hughes and 19 mentors

The new odd couple? Tanev I would prefer for sure.

I doubt top pairing minutes is the way to go. If it is then he’d be signed already. Nothing odd about a defensive D paired with a Hughes. See Reilly & what he needs.

EG is one of the worst defensive dmen in the league. I agree there's nothing odd about pairing him with some one that is good at defending, that's Tanev or Edler IMO.

it can be one, or two, but tell me pres, why would a player settle with an arbitrator for 2 years, when you can only go to arbitration once as a player, and you would almost ensure you would get a better contract the following year...
- Codes1087

?
If the player files for arbitration the team gets to choose whether or not it's a one or two year deal. The player doesn't get a choice in the term if he's the one that files. I'm not quite as solid about it if the team files but I believe it's only a one year deal in that situation.

Didn't Subban get a multi year deal from arbitration? the Canadiens didnt give him that 9m arbitrators did
- Retinalz

No, he signed his deal before arbitration was over.

No, he signed a 2 year bridge deal before arbitration and then signed the big one after year one was over.

Ppl don’t know this? Wow 😂😂

With our luck the arbitrator will give him a NTC.
- A_SteamingLombardi

Lol, can't trade a player signed under arbitration for a year.

Ppl don’t know this? Wow 😂😂

That is not what the articles say

Saw Brian Campbell on the radio this morning giving insane praise to the kid. Saying he enters the league already being one of the best skaters and could defend against mcdavid.
- Codes1087

I’m telling you Hughes will be the next Bobby Orr.


General Manager Jim Benning is a genius, I’m sure no comment will be required.

Well it is Bobby Orr 2.0

Yeah, EG could be a real disaster with Hughes, Tanev or Edler would be much better.

SUBBAN did sign a 2yr bridge.
The arbitrator did not award a 8/9m contract.
The fact years later ppl don’t know this is incredible. Thats what i say 😂😂

I havent fished a single time this season. Separated shoulder on my casting arm along with some muscle damage in my forarm. Then fishing never really picked up this season and the pooptiest thing is trying to not spend a dime on gas all summer so I can afford fishing in the fall. Boring. Depressing... and then there's this place...

Can you show me one article that backs that? I can show you at least 15 others that say differently. Google PK Subban arbitration

No arbitrator can award an 8 year deal. An Arbitrator can hand out a one year or two year deal only
