if Jan was blogging when Reagan was President just imagine how good the blogs would have been - jimbro83
I'll tell you what, Jan's blogs lose at everything folks. They lose at everything. We're losing to Todd Cordell's blogs. We're losing to Ryan Wilson's blogs. Folks, we're losing to Ryan Wilson's blogs. The posters on Ryan Wilson come here to troll folks and they run around unmoderated. 75% of the trolling in our blog comes from those posters who come here without permission. Folks, folks, let me tell you. I am going to turn Jan's blog into a winner again. I am going to make it great again.

To be fair, every team in the league has been handing out NMCs like candy.
I think Sather has actually been decent about it relative to others. Stepan, Brassard, Girardi, McDonagh, Zuccc etc. all don't have full NMCs for the life of their contracts. - rangerdanger94
All don't deserve NMCs.
Girardi and Staal are synonymous with the best stretch this organization has seen in quite some time. Both have been mainstays on a relatively successful hockey team over the last decade. But, and this is what separates the better run hockey organizations from the others, GMs have to identify when to commit to players, with iron clad contracts, which players deserve iron clad contracts and when to cut the chord with players; even ones that were good foot soldiers for many years.

True.
But if we go back to those Hotstove blogs where the bloggers rated whether Staal or Girardi's contracts were worth it, you will see every last one of us in there arguing, at the time, in favor of those contracts.
