I think you just laughed at me using "good" and "sweet" in the same sentence describing wine.

Yup...

Have you tried German wines. They like sweet whites.

What's expected? He scored 30 and signed for under 4.. Not sure why we need a huge discount on such a solid player. The longest serving Leaf and fans are playing hardball

I don't think it's about taking a discount, I think it's A) that he can get more elsewhere and B) him maybe wanting to go play with his superstar buddy on a cup calibre team.

Phaneuf got a raise. Kessel got a raise. Need to sign a UFA dman hopefully. Also have RFA's to sign. Just don't see him coming back is all I'm saying but I will certainly be sad to see him go. With Dupuis out I wouldn't be surprised if Pens call for him to play with Malkin. They loved playing with each other in Russia.

For whites, unoaked, or unwooded are popular now. They are aged in a stainless steel cask, instead of Oak barrels.

My personal theory is that he'll be back with the rising cap. They just knew they couldn't fit him at that number this year.

I think he is a valuable player, even if he doesn't put up lots of points.

he's putting up lots of points where he is now

like Gewurztraminers?

I like Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Actually, I may not have been asking you, I may have mentioned a Romanian wine called cotnari.

In any case, I think you're a good poster too and was just making a joke

I think we need a defender that can win those battles on the boards consistently. I can't stand watching the leafs in their own end when they're being worked down low. Than just stand and watch half the time. Phaneuf and Gunnar don't do a bad job of winning battles but they're the only 2. Rielly tries but he just doesn't have the strength to do it. Is Bogo a good skater cause I think the last thing the leafs need is another slow defender?

Has good skating for his size but average among nhl defenders.

When has that ever been more than speculation? Also there have yet to be any gaps or problems in contact negotiations that would lead to the notion he even wants to go somewhere else.

The guy is a rocket and fearless. Instantly became one of my favorites last year. Would rather have gave him 2.75M then Clarkson his contract.

Not going to lie, Kulemin on Malkin's wing would be fun to watch. Neal-Malkin-Kulemin 2nd line even

I like it. Not a big white guy, but it is worth a try. Hard to say.

Cotnari?

LCBOs usually get a good stock of it in spring, my dad buys a few cases

Nope. I sell wine as a hobby for a private wine store in Halifax.

yea, that's all it is, speculation.

I'd take him at his current salary, or max 3M.

But he's probably going to want more. And the rumors about Pittsburgh wanting him have been around for years.
