I went last night from having seven Twitter followers — two of which were my grandmother because she had to remake her account when she forgot her password — to now having several hundred.
- Kenny Bone(Yes I know his name is Ken, but come on Ken he Bone?! too good to pass up)


Is that not the saddest thing you've ever read?

"I had a really nice olive suit that I love a great deal and my mother would’ve been very proud to see me wearing on television,” Bone explained, “but apparently I’ve gained about 30 pounds and when I went to get in my car the morning of the debate, I split the seat of my pants all the way open. So the red sweater was plan B."

Ok, that's the second. Or maybe the first.

I think that needed to be a double digit number.

I think back to the John Scott suspension and how a non repeat offender gets 10 games and then this clown only gets 6...

I'm sure he'll do something stupid again and get another suspension. I would have given him 15. NHL falls short again.

Agreed. A repeat offender like Gudas only gets 6 games? What a joke.

Hopefully Risto is soon. Dreger reported yesterday 'they are getting closer'.

He wanted 7 per. He gets a 3M sign bonus this year and 3.5 in the potential lockout year (2020-21). Looks like a good deal for both sides.

His AAV comparables are to Monahan (7 @ $6.375), MacKinnon (7 @ $6.3), Forsberg (6 @ $6) and Saad (6 @ $6).

He wanted 8. It sets him up for another massive payday since the deal only buys 1 year of ufa status

I think the two hold outs will be Risto and Trouba.

Great deal for Calgary and I think a good omen for the Sabres. Risto has to see that: 1) Johnny Hockey backed down from his $8 million/season demand and 2) he is not nearly as good as JG nor as important to the Sabres as JG is to the Flames.

My prediction - Risto is signed by end of day Wednesday @ $5.5/season.

McKenzie just reported that Kucherov heading back to the states, close to a bridge deal.

You could be right on Risto and Trouba but I think Lindholm will be the longest holdout. We'll see what happens.

5.5 for 6 is fair. I hope he signs tomorrow.

I feel like the Lindholm situation is just internal budget with Anaheim. As soon as they can move some salary out they can give it to lindholm. There's literally no reason not to pay him what he's asking for.

Im curious to see how long it takes WPG to find a deal for Trouba and what that means for Risto.

I could live with that but imo he shouldn't be getting anything more than what Rielly and Dekeyser got

Somebody is gonna cave. It's the only way deals get done. I would like the 5 per that Reilly got for Risto but just think it's gonna be more.
