WildCard Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) You'll get one when you're drafted. Have patience. :huh: See. I can do that too. The point is is that he's going to settle up and play. He's shown an incredibly inability to do so. Yeah but didn't he earn that, didn't he work to be drafted? It didn't just come to him by default Edited August 16, 2016 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not to signing and heading to FA is a non-decision. He didn't have to make one decision to land where he is today. He landed where he is by default. He turned down three chances to sign throughout his college career costing himself at least $3M. He DECIDED to stay in school and get an education. The easy thing would have been to take the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He landed where he is by default.He had to decide not to do anything like sign a contract. If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. There's a Rush song about it too.He turned down three chances to sign throughout his college career costing himself at least $3M. He DECIDED to stay in school and get an education.

darksabre Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Really? I think there'll be a fair amount of *meh*. That's already where I'm at. Any piss and vinegar I had on the subject was released at some point after he didn't sign when we acquired his rights (and when I started reading his agent's statements about how multiple NHL teams were going to come meet with them in Boston in mid-August). Are you ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Rush song about it too. Yea but that ruins the Pi Paradox and actually is what happened. My favorite thing about this board is how often Rush is referenced. Perhaps because I've never seen them referenced anywhere else in my life. Rock on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm going camping tomorrow for 2 days. I told Jimmy to sit tight until I get back. He said he'd wait until Friday, but he does have a history of lying so I took it with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
