How can professional news places still get that wrong? lol

I'm not sure how high WGR is on "professional".

I think they're just high.

I know the board operator and the after Schoop and The Bulldog host is constantly, Ryan something.

But the article is wrong about the 1 way vs 2 way portion

- Stripes77



I think that's one of the guys that said Marcus Kruger signed a deal worth $9M a year, not $9M total. And repeated it all night. He's Ron Burgundy. He'll read whatever is on the prompter. Go (frank) yourself, San Diego.


Edit: What's wrong with it? He's waiver exempt this year, but not next according to CapFriendly. And for the second year if there's any movement after a certain date he's exposed to waivers.

Is this what happens to Kaiser when he drinks a 5th of the brown stuff?

Whether your contract is 1-way or 2-way has nothing to do with waiver eligibility. A 2-way contract just means the team can pay you a lower salary if in the AHL. If a player has a 1-way contract, he gets the full NHL salary even if he's in the AHL.

I know how they work, but I see what you're saying, they're right, but for the wrong reason.

I just woke up. I doubt he did that much research and just assumed everyone knew how contracts work. This is where you get partial credit and a "show your work!" on the exam.

Finished Ozark last night. Good first season. Interesting to see where they take it.

He's waiver exempt this year due to years played and age but it has nothing to do with a one way or two way deal.

The Sabres could have signed him to a one way contract for both years (but smartly did not) but they still could have sent him to Rochester this year without having him go through waivers (like they are with Ullmark).

It's just another article that is incorrect in their information.

Exactly pretty much the author got lucky

If this was a math problem no points for him!

I'll say (frank) non-GMO as well. Seed monopoly is one thing but GMO is basicst modern agricultural engineering and humans have done this for thousands of years.

I guess I just assumed he did 2 minutes of research and saw he was waiver exempt this year, but not next and just whittled it down because most people don't know/care, or maybe the editor, if there is one, cut that bit out.

Or he probably just (frank)ed up, like reading the copy with Kruger making $9M a year. And thinking "it's written down, it must be right!".

I would have awarded zero points because he actually said he had to clear waivers because of the one-way contract.

I went back to quote it, but it looks like the article has since been edited as it now makes no reference to waivers.

HI BRAYTON WILSON (or his editor)!

EDIT: I would also be a terrible teacher.

miami is not good

they should win 3 games in the division alone

- homiedclown




U mean the team we lost twice to last year & made the playoffs?

Even if u wanna claim the Bills are better than Miami (we aren't)...
Didnt we lose to the Jets twice last year?
And shouldn't we have beaten that mess of a team twice?
