What if KO was always the target when GMTM re-signed Moulson? He's just the kind of stone cold, calculating mastermind to do something like that.
-
If this roster is healthy in April, they might even win a series.
-
Cool signing. It actually looks like Samson might be our second longest serving top six forward next year. We've gone from nothing to something very good in 18 months. Well done GMTM.

I don't think the bolded is accurate. Stamkos probably confirmed that Toronto and Buffalo were willing to pay him $12MM x 7 years, and he already knew that TB was willing to pay him $8.5MM x 8 years. The tax differences between NYS and FLA do not make up for the $16MM difference in total contract value or for the extra year.
Toronto is actually lower, and Buffalo is only $2.5M advantage over Tampa. http://www.tsn.ca/polopoly_fs/1.517591!/httpFile/ss-calc.html

Should have read:
Even with the nothing they put around him, he makes the playoffs if he...

I think athletes pay taxes where they earn the money, so if they are paid for games, they pay taxes where the game was played. 90% of the contract being a bonus that will be paid in Florida means low income taxes on all that income. Can any accountants confirm this?
-
Is Nashville going to trade something to Montreal to get them to do this? The Habs have no incentive if not.
Even if the cap is up to $120M in 10 years (5% annual growth rate), that recapture penalty would destroy the Preds for years, there is a 0 percent chance that the league allows it to happen.
-
And he's pretty much guaranteed to retire early, right? Is there any way he finishes out that contract in the three $1M years when he's 38-39-40?
"I'm sorry sir, there is just no way, medically, that Shea can continue to play hockey. That hang nail is just to deep for a 40 year old to recover from, we'll have to put him on LTIR."

Worked out really well for the team that signed the top UFA, former lightning star center too, didn't it?
I'd be thrilled if we were neither this time.

Worked out really well for us the last time we failed to sign the top UFA, former lightning star center and settled for a long term deal with the next best forward in Free Agency.
-
Which means he is NOT worth every penny. Look at NE. They'll pay Hogan, because in that offense, he works.
Indy will pay Luck and won't get a receiver worth a damn.
Even with the nothi. They put around him, he makes the playoffs if he stays healthy. Worth every penny, independent of their other issues. Quarterback is everything.
-
Correct. I'm sure GMTM isn't sitting on his hands, Russ Brandon wiping his tears for him, wondering what will he ever do now.
When you have ice in your veins and give zero , news like this effects neither your pulse not your blood pressure.

25th wedding anniversary today.
I'll, umm....... be back in a day or two.
Stay hydrated.

Trade keeps things flexible for the habs. Weber remains a tradable asset after Friday.

I have no idea. I know the mayor would rather spend it on concession stands, a restaurant, and a party deck, whatever that means. That's in the first article upthread. But as far as I can tell, the Sabres are far from moving the Amerks to Portland.
The mayor didn't make that recommendation, that was a city consultant, according the the article.
-
How can that even be remotely legal under the CBA?
They can void the contract, and they can impose a cap penalty of up to $5M, essentially making it impossible for the leafs to sign him.
-
If it's true that MLSE facilitated a meeting between a potential sponsor and a UFA during contract negotiations, I can see the league coming down hard on them. Even as far as "you can't sign him, contract void."
-
Ville Leino?
-
Chara and Hossa are the only two that come to mind.
-
Pittsburgh is also over 40% with 4 guys
-
What are you talking about this offseason for? Who will be captain next season, not next offseason but next season. Next season is 2017/18 and Brian Gionta will not be a Sabre.
"next season" would refer to '16-'17, IMO.
-
Perhaps I missed it somewhere but I don't recall seeing it.
Is there a compelling reason to NOT be worried about his blood clot issues from this year?
I'm not sold on sinking a major contract on a guy who might have to retire prematurely.
No risk there, if he goes out on LTIR, he will not count against the cap. See: Pronger, Chris.

The interviewer asked him about makarov's comments:

I don't see it happening, but I'll be giddy if the NHL starts seeing sign-and-trades. Such a fun aspect of NBA trading.
I am going to move into this new house, but before I do, I'd like to hit the foundation with a sledgehammer a couple times.
I agree the 8 vs 7 years thing as a reason to do this, but I'm still skeptical that it will come to be a thing.
