McDavid will make the Canucks his bitch for at least a couple years here. When's he a UFA, 2022? Good luck Bo.
You sound excited for that.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Buffy, 5 years average $7.6 mill a season.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

So does that mean Trouba for Hamonic? Apparently the negotiations with the Trouba camp isn't going well not to mention don't know how they can afford to sign him with Buffy's new deal. The Isles will obviously have to add to the deal

Probably also means Ladd is gonzo

Good term and cap hit for the Jets.

How fucking stacked were the 2010 Blackhawks.

I just read that Sid the kid reached the 900 point level for his career over the weekend.

The article mentioned he did it in 677 games, and then went on to note, the greatest player to every play the game (yes, I said that), Bobby Orr, a defenseman, hit 900 points in 638 games. WOW!

Yeah, what a player. But when you go back and watch games from that era you realize how terrible the goaltending used to be.

Unscreened slap shot goals were a nightly occurrence. Pretty much everything that went in would be considered a bad goal by today's standards.

Sure, back then you got the fat stupid kid to play net because chances are he drooled better than he skated, but put today's goaltenders in that vintage equipment and see how mobile they are.

Yeah, there were so many holes in that stand-up style. You could actually score along the ice back then.

With the Alexander Pietrangelo injury that could very well extend beyond the TDD, and the Bigfuckingugly new contract, and with Hamonic only wanting to go to the west, Hamhuis just got that much more valuable. Yandle is still on the trade block as well though.

As Dude suggested the Jets could now look to work out a deal for Homonic that involves Trouba.

The big fly in the ointment of course is Hamhuis's NTC and how he exercises that. That could bring his value down.

Never a better time to trade Hamhuis, Sbisa and Edler!
