Not sure if you recall Burke challenging Lowe to a fistfight when Penner signed an offersheet. I'm not so sure Waddell would do too well.

Yeah Bergevin would destroy him.

Sure. I won't lose sleep over it though.

Caufield... It will be a small offer..

Is this a direct quote?

Yes.

Sure seems like a lot of people have been talking about them for the past year or so. (But yes, I know what you mean.)

Why would a young boy from SASK cheer for the Canes? Does it have to do with your poor eyesight?

I do. I just skimmed some stuff on it. I sort of understand where the problem would be. The bonuses are still subject to the escrow payments, but the escrow is revisited quarterly and adjusted as the needs and revenue expectations shift.

So if the projection is lower in July than it would be as the year progresses, the percentage paid into escrow is lessened. I still have more to understand here (do I really want to?) though, because the July 1 payments would typically follow the application of the escalator which would artificially increase the revenue expectation & cap ceiling. That should see a lessened percentage as the year goes on as you try to normalize . . . you know. I'm a different sort of nerd than a money nerd.

Interesting...thanks for sharing

Crazy how many balls are in the air when it comes to a professional league

They wore green as the Whalers. Sp did the local WHL team and the Roughriders. Not like there was a team here to cheer for. That's all you need when you're that small.

Just for poops and giggles, here's Cap Friendly's projected lineup for next year, based upon an algorithm using TOI:

Amazing.

new CBA negotiations will be nice.
Montreal, NYR, Toronto and a few other teams keep on giving money to teams like Carolina, and then the GM being cocky.
He'll be out in 3 years.

I like the guy. I like when an owner is candid and says poop like that.

Rantanen had 85 last year and 92 this year, and he missed 7 games. Better PPG.
- RogerRoeper

Should also mention Rantanen played with McKinnon 99 points and Landeskog 75 points vs Marner playing with Tavares 88 points and Hyman 41 points.

Marner>Rantanen

Yes.

Showing any sort of personality in the hockey world is a surefire way to get removed from the sport within 5 years. Unless you are don cherry.

So Green...that made you a fan. Interesting.

I was 4.

I’m really enjoying watching all the anti-Toronto fans with their little hate boners say how screwed the team is and “no way they can pay Marner” when Dubas has found a way to clear a couple bad contracts, trim some fat, now have about $17-19m to sign Marner, Ceci & Kerfoot and bring in a top pairing D to address that need from a position of strength.

It must be hard watching this as a Leafs hater.
