Long posts do not = epic posts.

i have tried explaining this to people but they don't get the new bastardized version of the word epic (which is already played out, btw).

they think your post has to be a long drawn out poem about being, like, lost at sea for years or something.

Damn, Vinny's heart is going to break when he reads that. That was cold.

And lo the boards did shrink.
Water, water everywhere

do you have any links showing no compliance buyouts ever past 2014?

compliance buyouts arent going anywhere its the right of the team and a salary cap should only be about a playable roster to be fair to broke teams. It also gives trapped players a chance to be happy...ask lou if he wishes vancouver had more options.

what if phoenix was the one who had dipietros contract and there was no compliance buyouts? there would of been no phoenix 4 years ago....the rangers wouldnt of made the playoffs, and redden would still be lost in the ahl.

...yea you're right though ... only two FOREVER! haha...its the nhl dude...it takes one room of 31 guys and one of 5 or 6 to change whatever they want...how bout them jets

Maybe I still haven't fully woken up yet but that hurt my brain.

I still maintain that stupid is not the same as epic. I suppose this could just be the amusing post thread.

i feel something can be epically stupid though even if it's a short post. sometimes what makes it seem "epic" to me was that they managed to jam so much stupidity into just a sentence or two. that's powerful stupidity. eklund for example is great at this.

either way has always been acceptable to me.

agreed. Length is not epic, content is epic.

Keep denying it - goes to show how much you know. And by the way, I do have a source who knows what went down at the draft in discussions between the Oilers & Canucks - his name is Dreger who I grew up with & went to school with, who I also keep in touch with on a regular basis & I get a hell of a lot more information than you will ever get.

So if you want to keep saying i'm making poop up, go ahead but you are the one who's looking stupid by disagreeing on everything I've said.

share thread plzTY

Terrible article. Author is obviously biased.

NHL owners break contracts all the time. They are called buy-outs.

Please, winning the Stanley Cup is rigged as evident by the NJ Devils losing to the LA Kings in 2012. The NHL made an example out of his contract when Luongo, Savard, Pronger, Hossa contracts were all identical.

NHL owners escrowing salary earned until the season ends so they can count thier pennies before releasing money that was guaranteed by the contract so they can get their 54% share of the pie....please.

What would you do for $80 million Tax-free paid over 4 years versus $15 million after taxes that may not get paid to you over time due to escrow and a system that is rigged and chooses the winner?

Ilya is a smart man. In 4 years, he will have more money than 90% of the NHL players combined. He got to earn it in his home country where he is adored and raise his family in a culture that he is familiar with.

Critics of this move, critics of Russians, critics of the KHL are nothing short of blind-faith believers that the NHL is the "best" league in the world.

Stanley Cup? Hockey Hall of Fame? NHL All-Star game? NHL records....only the "fans" give a crap about that. Players....in the end of their career, look at how much they made and how they will afford to care for their families.

But I guess the author of this article shows the quality and depth of education Tennessee gives its citizens.
