It's widely debated who was the first to invent mathematics. Was it the Greeks? India? There is evidence that a measurement now called the megalithic yard was used in Europe and middle east/north Africa all the way back to the Neolithic Age and was used mathematically in ancient structures but one way or another, there has been math for thousands of years.

A Toronto cop was just charged in a human trafficking investigation. No, he wasnt white... just another piece of poop wearing a badge and abusing people. They come in all shades of color.

I challenge anyone to name a better drink than the Caesar with loads of poop in it. I mean it’s like a (frank)ing buffet in a glass. Hail Caesar!

Nothing beats a good caesar, but there are so many bad caesars out there.

Unless they move someone, which has proven difficult for Jim Benning, I don’t see Toffoli being signed.

Agreed.

Haven't figured out the escrow in it's entirely yet, but if the players have to take a paycut(escrow), each player should end up taking the same % hit.
One of the issues that will arise out of that though, is some players make a salary of 15 million as an example, this season, yet their caphit might only be 10 million.
Those discussions will have to take place.

I would think bonuses are not under escrow only salary. If true LE is laughing & I wonder about others like Tavares.

I don’t understand that. Caesar’s are simple to make. Worcestershire sauce, ice, lime, vodka, Clamato, and a whole lot of pickled poop and a strip of beef jerky. I’ve even started pickling my own garnish.
It’s like someone who makes a bad pizza. Everything about a pizza is perfect. Bad pizza doesn’t make sense. You’d have to work at making it bad. Should be so simple.

If the bonus is part of the cap, which is dependent upon revenues, how are they guaranteed? Who makes up the balance?

Do they increase the escrow amount to cover the bonuses? If so, the top tier players who get bonuses are (frank)ing over the rest of the league.

Using Eriksson as an example on July 1 Loui gets 4 mil bonus which will cost the NHL as a 4 mil loss and everyone pays the escrow on the loss including Loui on his remaining 1 mil he makes that is not guaranteed .

Simple right?

Seems like we finally cleared the Judd Brackett dilemma . Are we okay now ? Is it still too soon to say the Judd word?
