The NHL Thread
For the 5 of us who post NHL stuff, here you go. Officially the season starts Tuesday October 11, although there were tw
If mcdavid signs anything other than max term max or almost max salary his agent should be fired immediately.
He will make more money signing short-term due to the salary cap going to the moon over x number of years. The other way around, he should fire his agent if he signs for max right now.
Also I forget what streaming site I used last year,lol. Not sure what to do at moment, first month sportsnet is fine but fk Sportsnet.

Lol no. That argument could be made for any player that signed a long term deal the last couple of years. Players in their prime signing their one big deal don't try to time the salary cap to squeeze out a few more million, especially the speed Mcdavid plays at. Sign the 7x15 or whatever and make sure your grandkids don't have to worry about money.

McDavids grand kids will be fine if he manages money well. Look at Antonio Brown now filing for Bankruptcy .
How many teams have won cups with cap players? Look at Florida three players resigned at a discount because they want to win . Yes they could get more but the reality no cup.
Can't remember where I heard this and I'm too lazy to fact check it. And with the salary cap going up, if true, it won't be for long.
No team has won the Cup with a player making over 10 million per year.
Hopefully it's Dallas with Rantanen making 12 million this year.
Florida's highest paid player is Barkov at 10 million, so guess they are destined to repeat.

What does Antonio Brown have to do with anything? Of course if he manages his money well he'll be fine. But any agent that tells his client to accept less and just manage your money well should also be fired. Oilers fans a delusional if they think Mcdavid should sign a 2 year deal to see if Edmonton can get better, when has the best player in the league ever sacrificed term to wait and see if the team can get better?
Yes players sacrificed salary to sign in no tax south beach to continue to win cups. Not Edmonton, that's been rebuilding for 20 years.

Actually, that's what a lot of them are doing now,lol.
But yes he is fine either way, good chance he takes less money anyway.

LOL, well it is good to have dreams CowboyCold.:p
good news, everyone!:
from "No grit. No grind. No greatness." to "No grit, no grind, no greatness."
i had to read them like 5 times to understand how they weren't just trolling themselves
apparently the canucks slogan last season was "Embrace The Hard" ... i had no idea
mostly just sounds kinda gay (nttawwt)
these things are so dumb, and all just different variations of WALK HARD WERK or whatever. the real key to success is having the best players, so yeah admittedly it's difficult to build a slogan around this teams sucks because the gm is incompetent or some such
The two I immediately thought about was Goalie Bob and Eichel. Both at exactly $10 million.

What's happening in Canucks land if anything? lol
seems like ~nothing. mostly just running it back with the same guys and expecting a different result aka the definition of insanity
lots of reports saying that pettersson has put on 10-15 lbs of muscle ... big if true?
Matthews did 4 years. Kaprizov saga going on right now, Tavares signed for less money. If they set the salary cap in stone sometime this year, then yes, players will and should do maximum deals. They are already talking about raising it more the next few years than what has been decided.
Shifty, are you the NHLPA? 😆
Cause they are yapping at McDavid not to take less money, cause that affects contracts coming up, then you got Matthews in McDavid's ear to come to Toronto. Very interesting situation and next year for the NHL.

Matthews was a bridge as an RFA he's not signing a 4 year next one, Kaprizov isn't either, JT took a hometown discount with term and I don't think it was much less money.

No, I just think it's delusional to expect a guy that's worked his entire life to be the best, to take a 2 year deal as a UFA to see if the team gets be better around him.
This is the last season there will be pre-season fitness tests.
Probably a paywall, sorry!
Funny thing is I am in my last year of contract, never again on a longer one. I work with complete morons though.
Short contract is risky for players as they could get injured or decline.
Mcdavid really wants to stay in Edmonton he would have signed max by now.
I see Kopitar is retiring Scott. I have lots of his cards lol.
Kaprizov signed a bridge deal when he was an RFA that walked him to free agency. It was actually a longer deal than I thought at 5 years.
