Garth Snow has no idea what hes doing, does he?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

How does he manage to hold down that position for so long?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

It's like... did somebody say Dave Bolland? Meet Nikolai Kulemin!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

rumor out of Chicago is Toews and Kane are looking at somewhere between 9.5 to 10.8 per year for max 8 year contracts each.

now thatsa spicy meatball.

 

[LemonMelon]

Barring injury, 8 years with two of the best players in the league sounds good to me. Glad we talked them down pretty far from $12m.

 

[bono_212]

I think everyone expected $10m all along, though, didn't they?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I thought $10.8 mil was the number...

[Hewson]

You met PK Subban?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Why does PK Subban look so damn short.

 

[Hewson]

He's not on skates.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

He's only 6'0"

That's surprising.

 

[BoMac]

You met PK Subban?

Yes. I'm actually Magic Johnson.

 

[DaveC]

Yes. I'm actually Magic Johnson.

I've never seen a picture of you and thought that actually was Magic Johnson and PK Subban hanging out together on the docks

That's actually Magic Johnson and PK Subban hanging out together on the docks.

 

[BoMac]

 

[BoMac]

Actually, they, or we, bumped into each other in Monaco, according to Magic's, er, I mean *my* tweet.

 

[DaveC]

That sounds like the pitch for a "so-bad-it's-incredible" sitcom.

 

[bono_212]

Eight more years:

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I understand that you have to pay that much for superstars but damn, you'd better hope the cap keeps going up significantly like they are speculating or else you wont be able to afford to keep many of the other good players on that roster much less sign new ones.

 

[DaveC]

Yeah, Godspeed Chicago, 100 bucks says these contracts become seen as big fat albatrosses in about five years.

Better hope you win next year Blackhawks fans, you'll be the Leafs soon.

[bono_212]

Oh, I am fully prepared for next year to be about it for us.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Nope. It's gonna be about us picking Connor McDavid in Sunrise.

 

[BoMac]

Not sure Cobbler ever looks at this thread, but this is a great read. Nathan Walker has a chance to become the first Australian in the NHL, though it's still a few years away.

Nathan Walker's NHL dreams send him around the world - Washington Times

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Born in Wales.

Moved to the Czech Republic at 13.

Moved to the US and joined the USHL at 18.

Passed over twice, drafted as an overage player in the 3rd round.

You can't make that up.

 

[DaveC]

I'm not able to read the story now so I'm not familiar with the details, but man that seems crazy to me that there hasn't ever been a single Australian player in the NHL.

 

[cobl04]

Saw my name pop up in the timeline. Great read. The other Danny is the NHL fan though.

[Hewson]

An open ended hockey arena...cool.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

That actually would be super duper cool.

Instead of a retractable roof... retractable doors!
