You mean like every year? I'd be upset, like every year. Then forget about it and get drunk.

Kadri at #1, Bolland at #2, McClement at #3?

I can't see how you say buh-bye to Bozak and Grabbo unless you have another guy lined up.

I am really scared that Nonis is hoarding cap space to go make some really stupid deals on UFA day.

I don't think I want ANY UFA at all... they are all gonna get overpaid, for too long, and have contracts you regret within 2 years.

This is gonna be one ugly day tomorrow

The thing is that absolutely nobody is required to buy a single shred of what they're selling.

And, if everybody who was unhappy with the prices they set simply decided not to buy a ticket, the prices wouldn't be so high.

But, again, no matter how they set their prices, these prices still appear to be below market value, so Grabovski's buy-out isn't suddenly going to cause them to gouge their customers.

- Leeman4Gilmour


I'm not saying they'll gouge us but let's say they sign someone else for 5.5, their business model probably involves always trying to increase profit margins slightly every year. therefore they will have to make an extra 5.5 to reach their profit goal.

I understand that you're saying that a business generally wants to maximize profit by raising their prices as high as possible while still maintaining sellouts in this case but that simple economics model isn't exactly correct in this situation. There are many more variables in this case. If they charge max price will it push middle class fans to other markets? and so on

Regardless! I didn't really mean it seriously, any raises won't seriously impact any pricing. I was just arguing the principle of it!

I can see it now...

Weiss 5,5 for 7 years or Bozak 4.8 for 6 years...

Then Clarkson 6.0 for 5 years...

yeah this is gonna suck.

I'd just like to point out that Philly has nearly 52 million dollars committed to next year with only 5 defensemen, no goalies, and Schenn/Couturier becoming RFA.

Things should get interesting.

Is it really that much worse than what we had? Bozak out, Kadri in (advantage: Kadri); Grabovski out, Bolland in (point advantage: Grabovski, defense, intangibles advantage: Bolland), McClement and Gordon, proper bottom 6.

I don't know man, repeat offender:

- Montreal, in general.
- Kostitsyn feud
- Biting Patch
- Carlyle truth bombs
- Big cap hit
- Bad year

I think somebody takes a 1-year flyer on him, but he's definitely not cashing in on a long-term deal.

- gravyface



Biting Patches is a negative now?

These contracts are becoming a joke, even more so. The new CBA accomplished nothing, and we lost half a (frank)ing season for it.
