Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

I never played hockey growing up, but went to high school in North Van with a lot of people who played at higher levels. Pretty much sums up what they told me about hazing.

Grew up in North Van. Our rep teams had original Canuck jerseys. Back then fans whined about them & how ugly they were. It was the genesis of the idiot side of the fanbase we have today.

Post has learned that Lias Andersson has decided to remain in Sweden. Rangers had talked to him about joining team for 2020 training camp, but seventh-overall from 2017 opted against accepting invite...So it ends until there's a trade...

@FriedgeHNIC
Andersson is under contract with NYR for 2020-21, so they have to be involved in this process

Someone tell Nighthawk about this when he wakes up.
he's always going on about trading down at the draft to recoup more picks.

Correction: I always claim to have a deal in the back pocket to be ready if needed. Plan for the unexpected. Better to be prepared vs scrambling if the situation arises to improve.

Cherry got everything he was due.

He had a good run but MacLean can take a hike.

Resigned Kreider 29yrs old 7/6.5m
Lias Andersson demanding out
Kravtsov unhappy

Their coach Quinn seems to be a tyrant with the youngins being improperly developed.

Otherwise everything lookin rosier since Panarin signed.

Im a big krieder fan, myself. I liked that deal. Kravstov is fine after having a little temper tantrum.

Tavares

Of the $77 million, $70,890,000 comes in the form of signing bonuses to be paid throughout the seven-year term. He then makes the league minimum salary of $650,000 in year one and $910,000 in years two through seven. With the right planning, Tavares can save millions in taxes through the life of this contract.Jul 6, 2018

The rich teams have a huge loop hole needing to be closed entering the Covid cap era.

I like Kreider a lot but he’ll be in his 30’s when it starts. Too long imo

Why does it need to be closed? Rich teams pay the full amount. Doesn't effect the cap. Suppose it makes the rich teams a little more desirable, but they had that leverage going before this all as well.

On a much lesser item, Sven's salary is only 2.4 mil next year . If NHL comes in around 40 % escrow he will make around 1.4 mil and decide to terminate contract to see if he can get another NHL job.

The base salary is far too low

You think anyone would offer him > $2.4m? You can't factor in escrow, all contracts fall under the CBA, so any new deal will be subject to the same terms

- Nighthawk

Ya it is. Only way he stays at that number id guess

Bieksa will fit in nicely with the sports media.

Strombo was horrible. They tried to sell him to millennials, hipsters and skinny pants fuktards. A video dj slash womans talk show host who happens to be a hockey fan but a horrible fit all around.
- boonerbuck

Over time I think it could have matured into a good situation but he just wasn't given the chance. I remember when Hodge was fired and Maclean replaced him many were angry and wanted Hodge back much like the Strombo situation. They gave Maclean a chance and it worked out good for awhile until he turned into an idiot. I get they were trying to connect with a new audience...just feel he (Strombo) wasn't given a good shot IMO.

I never said any of that . You do have a horrible habit of assuming .

I said with his escrow he might make 1.5 mil on his final year. I then said he may decide to terminate his contract (not wanting to play in the AHL)

He would probably sign a new contract about 1 mil but play on an NHL team. Who the hell said someone was offering him > than 2.4?

You said a bunch of stuff that was total bullpoop.

It's tough to keep track of all your ramblings.

You said he would decide to terminate a contract ($2.4m) that will pay him $1.4m (your words) for the potential of earning $1m (only $600k in your scenario). Why would he do that, to avoid the AHL?

Baertschi is buried in the AHL without much of a chance to make our line-up. If he terminates he has a 1yr head start to get a new opportunity & contract. At a price but gambles on himself. If not then rides out a year in the AHL if it restarts or the KHL is the last option. Time is ticking for him...

There’s also a chance for them to mutually agree to terminate it, same with eriksson.
