Bingo! That’s exactly what I will do. As soon as I’m 56 I’ll “retire” from Fraser Health and start Project Managing as a consultant. Tons of short term (2 or 3 year stints) PM jobs out there.

It's the ultimate hustle.
Even after the consulting agency/firm takes 40% or 50% off the top in some cases, most ppl still end up making more than they previously were doing the same gig, in addition to collecting 70-75% of their top grossing years via pension.

Worked with a dude who was collecting both a senior Canadian Forces pension and Federal public service pension while consulting full time....unreal.

My Brother is collecting a Canadian Forces pension (25 years retired a Major) and now he works 4 days a week as a dentist.

Hughes contract comparables….

Barrie 3/4.5m on the low end
Krug 7/6.5m more middlin end
Makar 6/9m on similar age but more complete

Barrie/Krug on their last contracts being 30 yrs old & Makar on imo a fair contract. So I’d think 3/6m or 6/7-7.5m or 8/7.5-8m.

Sam Girard at 5 million tops.

Wait let me get this straight.. Are Nuck and Flames fans really going to beak off about living in Edmonton...? You know, the Nucks and Flames who cant resign any of their core players becasaue they want out? Damn it sucks soo much to be an Oiler fan right now. I hate that Connor Drai Hyman Nuge and Nurse all signed 7 plus years. They must really hate living here hey? Talk to me when players aren't bailing on your teams. Also enjoy not making playoffs again.

Who wants out lol.

The market is very hot for a man of your skulls. I would pull the plug and work independently

Am I reading this right, a 22year old player is telling Management that He insists on winning now?

Winnipeg just announced today they are going to open the arena to full capacity but proof of double vax will be required . Canucks just announced they have not made any final decision for Vancouver or Abby but are leaning the same way.

Industrial construction more money on the tools. If younger then abroad for tax reasons is good. Means outta country for the entire calendar year. I cherry pick work with goals of 4-7mths of work for 80-100k. Could make much more but I don’t live to work. Plan now is to go downhill & set up for retirement & financial plan for my wife's son & my nephew. Doing street appeal work on the house & property. Ongoing maintenance to finish the decks & painting the last side of the house. Interior in the winter & final stuff like painting & carpets when ready to sell. Other miscellany to do as well.

Or, just don’t sign him. Think of all the cap space you would save!

More like Hollands plan. 12 mil for Nurse
3.4 for Kassian
Mike Smith
38 year old Keith
Hyman 8 years

Genius at work!

Time to put the old guy out to pasture. I said I'd take him fishing on Kal Lake.

You forgot your regular Markstrom and Tanev insults, you're slipping.
