really? just checked his stats and he's only about a 0.5ppg player

you think he gets 4.4mill for being a utility guy? (albeit a very good one admittedly)

Not gonna argue with you this morning, considering you're right 100% of the time.

In your head, anyway.

I hate when the facts are on my side.....

What evidence is there??? All they do is rip on the LEafs, but yeah they're homers.

That's what the word on the street is as to why they'd trade him...They were comparing him to other players who play a similar game and most are making over 4m per...

Its true though PF.

TSN might favour Toronto programming because of the size of the audience and their advertising dollars, but it's not a bias.

I can assure you the TSN hockey panel does not favour or have an open bias to Toronto. When it comes to media outlets, catering to the biggest markets is the obvious thing to do, but it's not a personal bias or a rooting interest.

You're right, in your head.

Corsi proves he is the best defensive forward in the NHL

No lie.

I believe it...Corsi also shows that Anderson didn't save the Sens arse last night...

I don't think he's worth 4, but in today's market and as a UFA I could see some team taking a flyer on him...

yeah but couturier regressed this past year.. nothing overly impressive

with a tightening cap guys like him arent looking at 4mill

i bet he signs for 3 or less. shorter term tho, then go for the big one next contract.

i just dont see anyone stepping up during this offseason in particular with over 4 million for a 3rd liner

Jay Blow looks a lot better now that he is the number 2 guy...would be funny to see him with Phaboof.

here is the thing

TJ Oshie makes 4.5million.. and he is a better and more accomplished 2 way centre.. has about 20% more offense to his game as well playing in hitchcocks trap like system

holmgren should just point at him and say.. if you think you are worth what he is then why arent you scoring at his pace in an offensively based system?

couturier is in for a surprise if thats what he thinks he is getting imo.

I'm not worried about Couturier as he'll only be a RFA after next season...I agree with you, but since Read will be an UFA after next season I still think there will be a bunch of team who will overpay for him...

The Habs won the game.

I have a question for the Corsi/Fenwick boys...

Do many stores accept the Corsi-Fen bucks? You know, that money you get from betting according to your infallible stats?

Yeah, I don't envy his agent seeking 4 million after this past season. If he gets 3 million somehow, he should just shut his mouth and quietly celebrate his good fortune.

Ahhh, I was waiting for it, the gold old "Blame the Victim" culture.

As long as we can blame the victim, there is no reason to question how the game is played. Which would involve difficult questions being asked.

Far better to pretend everything is OK, until someone dies of course... and then find some way to shove that under the rug also.

I need some advice.

I am trying to cash my Proline ticket from last night, but they are telling me that Montreal did not win. The idiot at the counter, who obviously has never studied math, says he doesn't know what Corsi of Fenwick means?

Should I go to the OLG? What supoprting factual mathematic information should I bring?
