Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Something something cusp. It never gets old. For NS, anyway. Awesome!! Just think, in a few years the Sabres will be on their 14th cusp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Well, a $100k snub (the difference between finishing 4 & 3 in the balloting) might be motivational. And if he falls to 5th, and off the All-Rookie team, because 3-2nds grabs the 3rd F slot, that's an additional $212.5k out of his pocket. Looks like he'll qualify for $425k worth of bonuses w/ a 50/50 shot of the All-Rookie bonus & will miss out by a smidge (barring ~5 points in the last 2 nights) on 2-3 others. (Only did a quick look, the #'s may be off slightly.) Depends on how motivated by money Jack is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 He played in the NCAA, so obviously...very :w00t: what? top college athletes don't get money! that would be outrageous... At least Jack is as motivated by it as some top prospects who drop out of school, sell their sisters into the sex trade, and move to Europe for a season to make some cash in a swiss league.

Taro T Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Depends on how motivated by money Jack is. True. But having $300k+ taken out of one's pocket for essentially losing a popularity contest could tweak the internal motivations up a smidge. No?

Taro T Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Where did you get the contract info from? (I want to be nosy and read more about the terms) CBA defines what bonuses are available to the few players that qualify for them. Considering he was the 2nd overall, feel pretty secure in the assumption that he qualifies for max bonuses on those negotiable w/ the team. The ones that are specified by the league are what they are (Calder voting & All-Rookie). Exhibit 6 holds the gory details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 so in a couple years there will be a draft eligible goaltender named DiPietro... the Islanders have to draft him right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 If Detroit this up and both Filly and Boston make it, I am going to be very upset and I may have to write a strongly-worded letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFIVEOH Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 So it's down to Boston and Philly who gets the wildcard. Detroit really doesn't deserve to go. Not that the Bruins stood a chance of winning, but if you're down 4-1 with 8+ minutes left and you go on the power play......... it's probably a bad time to pull your goalie for a 6th attacker when the opposing team doesn't have to worry about icing the puck. Maybe desperate times call for desperate measures.......... I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Detroit'll have a chance to not back in. 2 man advantage for last 20 seconds down by a goal. Guess not. Couldn't get a shot off. Isles need 3 points this weekend to face the Pens in 1st round. 2 or less and they're going to FLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Mike Milbury apparently angling for the Bruins coaching gig if it becomes available. That's it, I'm officially Philly to make it, Julien to get fired, and Milbury to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
