Even if the team sends him down, they're still on the hook for whatever he's scheduled to earn playing in the minors, even if it doesn't count against the cap. He also counts against the player share of the HRR split, since two-way deals are counted as NHL direct costs, while NHL teams' share of their affiliate's revenues are oddly not included in hockey related revenue.

The occasional contract #51 might not pose a threat to integrity the system, but if they lifted or expanded the contract-limit by any amount, players would be looking at escrow increases, small market teams would be faced with yet another competitive disadvantage, and salaries for lower-tier players would probably increase across the board.

Everything you say makes sense until the end. The rise in lower tier players salaries escapes me. With a cap that money is finite and can't expend without there being contraction elsewhere.

Seems to me they out think themselves then make up nonsense to counteract the nonsense.

goa the color and hop rate have nothing to do with getting drunk, that is the percent alcohol you are thinking of

previously mentioned and much loved guinness which is pretty black in color (although not all that hoppy) comes in at a mild 4.2% alcohol by volume, so you can drink a few without falling over

I just feel it hits me heavier than say a bud light. I could smash a 12 pack of bud light and feel almost nothing significant but a 6 pack of Sam Adams is a diff story.

If this is what you think reason sounds like--then, sure. Thank you.

I made those same noises when pat kane scored that goal in game 6

gasp, we do agree

bud light 4.2% abv = guinness draught, shocking as that may be

now there is a guinness foreign export stout that is much stronger over 7% so mind the label

Well, without falling over due to drunkness. Fullness, on the other hand...

they used to be amazing, and then budweiser bought them


i still see the pepe nero now and then, if you see that one from them grab it,
it's still small batch deliciousness instead of the mass produced honker ale that they're selling everywhere now

Downingtown... and pretty good. They have distinguishing taste.. I always know when Im drinking a Victory beer. Their Golden Monkey will make you poop your pants if you arent careful.

I did not know that, argh

the one I want to try is Hill Farmstead, but it is made in Vermont and near impossible to get out here
http://www.hillfarmstead.com/main/

was down in Portland OR last week, what a great town for microbrew

we rented bikes downtown and rode from one brewery to the next for an afternoon

one guy crashed his bike at the end but most of us made it

Excellent

Tell that to Holmgren. lol

Why would I do this when I think you couldn't be more wrong? I think Schenn is likely to be extended this summer at a reasonable price and will state regardless of what he does. In fact I think it would be mindlessly stupid to trade Schenn just because he doesn't have a breakout season.

OMG, Is that something else we agree on? Jameson?
- GOA88

Ew.. Jameson? Nah.. Im a Dalmore (if im drinking scotch*), Glenfiddich.. but I really like 40 Creek.

I like Crown and Knob as well...

Excellent
- KINGKENZO

Whats your favorite.. I like the Prima Pils a whole lot.. The summer love was pretty good as well.
