I think you're asking why not save $650k if you can?

That answer should be self evident.

No guarentee that another option provides what he has, so 650K over 2 years wouldnt be a big issue. Also would line up with some of the young guys getting new contracts.

The swiss probably didnt deserve to win anyway, but the shootout is lame on all levels.

A) $650k each year.

B) At $650 over two years you're still paying more than 3x what even HardHat makes. If that's no big deal for you I would like to send you my resume.

I am starting an Evander Kane fan club. All you have to do to join is let down someone, the more the merrier, who trusts or depends on you.

If you are an athlete, you can show up to games hung over, or have the police pull you out of practice.

If you are married or dating someone, you can cheat on them in a public and humiliating way.

If you are Jack Eichel, and this all seems like too much work, you can just take a selfie talking into stacks of bills as if they were a phone, or charter a helicopter flight to a sporting event.

If none of the above applies to you, then you just need to get your name in the news for some notorious reason.

Hope you all decide to join. We will be having our meetings after midnight before every matinee game, and you must be wasted to attend.

In response to your pointless and whiny post I will also contribute nothing to this thread.

The only thing worth saying with the Kane thing is that I'm withholding judgment. The situation is far too murky to make a call one way or the other. If he's innocent, I hope it gets established quickly and we can all move on. If he's not, I hope they nail his ass to a board and he never sees NHL ice again.

I said this the other day. I feel like after the Pat Kane situation, we should all know by now that you never know how this stuff is going to turn out. Best to let the authorities search through everything and deal with it.

They know what they're doing, and dealing with one troll is way easier than dealing with one troll and 30 people who play into it.

I love the idea...I don't love the idea on who we would have to give up

One of Eichel, ROR, or Risto would have to be going the other way

You could try quantity over quality approach but there's also the matter of the cap hit.

If you'll indulge me, I'll attempt to persuade you that this is an easy problem to solve. Remove the troll and you won't have to sweat the 30. Instructing the board not to react to a troll - without "dealing with" the troll - blames the reaction and excuses the offense.

And if I am the offender, ban away without mercy or quarter.

While he's the type of player we probably really need, I'd prefer it be someone that's a bit younger. He's already 30. Especially if we'd have to give up a top guy in the first place.

I know you have to give to get, I just don't know that I'd want to give up any of those guys in particular. Reinhart is another one that would be a deal breaker for me.
