Thanks Todd!

Both games would be fun to watch. With Gillies playing in Edmonton and the toppling playing in Calgary.

Think I have to go with watching the game in Edmonton.

So Brad Marchand signed for 6.125 mil a year for 8 years, I hope the trickle down effect is that we get Johnny Hockey for a little bit of a more reasonable price..

WTF. Its Monday and you gotta get all up in our grill. Go eat something and then when your Hanger against the Flames has subsided come and talk.

Go to Arby's, their burgers are FLAME grilled and they are delicious!

Can't blame him for wanting somebody on the team that's shorter than him. Small man syndrome and all that.

You should try watching a game in their arena, never seen more lame ducks in the crowed in my life, no life in most of their fans. Although I did get into a friendly shoving match with their mascot Fin when the flames were in town, it was on the jumbotron and I got professional pics taken of it by their photographer, Jeff Vinik, so that was cool. He lost.

I lived in the interior of BC and watching Flames-Nucks games at the pub was pretty lame. Granted it was Nelson, and hockey is not cool with hippies.

37 goals. Infinitely better physical presence and intimidation factor. Fights for pucks. 6 mil per. Established "guaranteed" 60+ point guy.

Sure, Johnny gets about 10, maybe even 20 more points per year. I'll call that extra 20 points a wash for the fact that Marchand actually can provide a presence and fight for pucks.

6 mil.

Tell me why Johnny deserves anything more than 7?

Only thing I see is that the Rat depends a lot on Bergeron. Johnny creates a lot of the offence. Might be wrong though.

He doesn't "depend" on Bergeron, they go together like peanut butter & jelly. He makes Bergeron better, and Bergeron definitely makes him better. But you are right that Bergeron is definitely the jelly in this situation.

i don't think he makes bergeron better. But he keeps people away and plays a role that suits bergeron.

Marchand is a bigger gamble.....very likely just the new burrows type contact.

8 yrs for a player that has a large pest aspect to their game is a long time.

Maybe wait until he's scored 60 points more than once before naming him a guaranteed 60+ point guy. Is he also a guaranteed 40 goal scorer?
