LGR4GM Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 He speaks fluent Mandarin?? He and I have something in common then. I wonder if he too has invented a means by which we we can let spiders talk to catsNo no you've got it wrong. He doesn't speak Mandarin, he learned how to peel mandarin oranges for himself. Before now the self entitled bum made others peel his oranges for him. What a lazy kid. I mean who goes to Harvard to study orange peeling? Guys trouble I tell ya.

And I am confident he's not just looking at Twitter in order to get that vibe. Hiya, Kris. Love your work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cereal Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 For what it's worth.... I heard Howard (or Jeremy?) on WGR mentioned briefly this morning that he emailed an NHL player agent regarding the rumor on whether a team has a limit on bonuses they can dish out, and the agent said that there is no such thing. A couple posters above seemed to agree with this statement as well, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That blogger/Rangers fan who posited that ELC-bonus-cap got a cadre of fans (including some here) fairly worked up - unnecessarily, it now appears.

PASabreFan Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 It isn't? I quite think it is. I think it's a combination of his (apparently) stiffing the Preds, then making some kind of "checklist" public. Coach/style of play/chance to play in the top six/cap space to pay him his millions after he scores 11 goals in two seasons etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 he'll score 11 goals in his 1st 40 games not first 2 seasons. another 20 goal score would be ace on this team, but the kid has a lot to prove in the NHL still. Between Carle 2006 and Gaudreau 2014 there are a lot of failed hobey baker winners. (Blake Geoffrion career got cut short, but doubt he would have made a solid NHL career.)

sodbuster Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 The buzz is that Vesey is in Buffalo today. Some randoms on Twitter have said that they've seen him in and around Harborcenter. I guess the meeting must be today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkard Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Ok, so which one of you guys is going to kidnap Vesey and not let him leave without signing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesportsbuff Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm betting the whole "being guaranteed a top 6 spot with ample power play time" thing came directly from WGR. In fact, I can hear Andrew Peters saying those exact words in my head. I'm pretty certain Vesey never did and never will "demand" a Top 6 spot as a requirement for him to sign somewhere -- it doesn't even make sense. What's he going to do if 2 weeks into the season the coach moves him to the third line, not play? But I do think he will be looking for teams where he has a good chance to play in the Top 6. Chances of that happening here got a little slimmer with the signing of Okposo (barring a trade), while Boston and Toronto seemingly have a spot waiting for him. It will take a pretty strong sales pitch to get him to sign, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
