We recognize, however, that there is something more in life than the grinding routine of daily toil, that we can develop a better manhood and womanhood, a more mature youth and a wiser maturity by rounding out our existence with a wholesome interest in sport. To those who devote themselves to this enterprise in a professional way and, by throwing their whole being into it, raise it to the level of an art, the country owes a debt of gratitude. They furnish us with amusement, with an outside interest, oftentimes, in the open air that quickens the step, refreshes the mind, rejuvenates, and restores us."

Meh ... just looks like a mild dig at people who are taking him too seriously to me.

Probably ok for next year, but still. How in the world does he get more than Seidenberg? - Double_A
Looks like a mil overpayment per season. Could be a nice deal by the third year if he improves or takes another step offensively but to me I think Johnny B hit his ceiling.

Every time.
Next time he has a question about negotiations, he should just log into Hockeybuzz and ask us.....then, take our answer, add on a million per, and an extra year.

Definitely at the higher end of the spectrum as far as what I though Boychuk would get .... I could see him getting 4 per by someone in free agency though.

Pretty average for a mid-pairing defenseman ... - JEFF SPICOLI
exactly. to get a guy to sign before free agency you gotta give him something to make it worth his while.
"(After the Cup, linemate Tyler Seguin) and I went on a bit of a tear, partying pretty much every night for a while," Marchand told Sports Illustrated. "I went home and kinda continued it. I thought (winning a championship) was something that might never happen, so I was trying to take it all in, enjoy it.... My dad sat me down and sorta gave me a lashing. He told me if we win two of the next three years, he'd leave me alone."
