Is that how it's used? I use it as what it says as a question mark. Like in wonderment or curious to garner discussion. Sheesh writing and emojis can be a bad cocktail.

I know fair enough. Maybe I should have just said take exempt player JV out and add exposed forward Hansen/Granlund so losing a top 6 for nothing isn't an issue for Nucks.

Granlund and Tanev get you Schenn and Sanhiem?

In 2009- 2010 season their production remained the same and spiked in the following year 2011. Since signing that contract their production dropped at least 25% approximately except in the year 2011 and 2014

I am not sure if giving raises for less does not seem like a discount

2014 was when they signed this current contract. What the measure on value was at the time. Can you say to star players take less then your prior contract? That $900K more is too much?

I get your point about now and next season perhaps. It's not a discount now.

If it was one contract less would be said . The fact is it is a 14 mil contract . Can't split them that is where I have always had a problem .

Anyways Nighthawk did make a good point you cant change it so I need to suck it up. My only point in all of this is I don't think it is a discount.

Personally I think the contract was fair at the time and still do. The fact remains they are on the decline so the contract is viewed as over priced. Once they are gone this team can truly change. I don't see it as big a problem as others do.

That's not true but Gillis should've let them walk after their last deals were up in 2013/14.

They were turning 33 and obviously in decline, easy to say now I guess.

Somebody would take them both pushing for a cup but they wouldn't go and I wouldn't ask them to.

I don't know guess it's all about perspective. Depends on if you view Tanev as a top two. Plus Granlund a young 20 goal scorer in the making who plays both center and wing. Neither are equal to one or the other but balance out value and need in package.

Its not this regimes contract. Take it up with MG.
I don't see 29 other non cup winners void of similar contracts.

Canucks can still try to salvage something but you need to split them up for the rest of the contract. Everyone knows where to go when they play together. They always look to each other for first options , they need to have that taken away from them.

Goodnight Seahawks. Horrible game. Falcons offense on the other hand could be enough to take them deep.

Ryan is the MVP. (frank) Brady.
