Oh I know. Just letting you know if for some reason you are saddled with a few of those Cities you will still have a great time.

I feel that Yzerman is only teasing Gorton with this "talk" that they are interested in Karlsson, due to having to risk more in assets to acquire him, as opposed to McDonagh, both of which who are signed through the following 2018/19 season.
Karlsson has expressed that he wants to be the highest paid NHL player long term. There is no way based on their current highest paid players, that this could be possible, even if the cap should rise to somewhere between $82M to possibly $85M in two seasons.
The Lightning both currently and through the 2019/20 season, have approximately a $37M combined cap in only 6 players in Stamkos, Palat, Johnson, Callahan, Killhorn, and Hedman. In addition, they will need to re-sign in key to new deals for 2019/20, both Kucherov (now at $4.8M approx. cap hit), & Stralman (now at $4.5M), plus Vasilevsky in 2020/21 (now at $3.5M). Those three currently have a $12.8M cap hit.
So with 9 key players at about a $50M combined cap hit, they are going to pay Karlsson at least $12M, and possibly have to pick up Bobby Ryan's horrible $7.25M contract through 2021/22??? That would be approximately $70M tied up in cap among 11 players! They struggled just to re-sign Stamkos to his $8.5M annual deal.
Yes, a Cally could be bought out at some cost, or one or more of those mentioned could be dealt. But if Yzerman was not ready to include a Sergeachev in a deal to acquire McDonagh, what would part of a deal to acquire Karlsson cost him, (along with possibly being forced to take over Ryan's contract)? He was just rumored earlier to be seeking Mike Green of Detroit as an OFFENSIVE (for the most part) rental.
I don't buy his interest in Karlsson, for one that needs a better defensive minded d'man. He is only using him as a means to lower the price to pay for McDonagh, whom the Rangers do not have to deal right now, or even until the 2019 deadline. - RangerSaver
Stevie Y tryin to hustle Gorts by dropping hints he wants Karlsson instead of McD, that's what I take away from it
I've always heard that Cairo is poop and the pyramids are like right on the outskirts of the city and that's pretty much all there is to do - eichiefs9
I heard the puss smells like curry there...eeekkk no thanks haha

Agreed, but how can they afford McD after next year. He's gonna want 6+..no?
OK, maybe Paris makes the list because I do love me some fine dining, guess I overlooked that obvious perk. Stockholm was on my list. I really want to go to Bosnia & Herzegovina and I have a buddy who's married to a Croatian girl and has been numerous times and raved about it. Pretty much anywhere in Greece would be attractive to me too, lots of history there since you people invented democracy and anal sex. - eichiefs9
You know how the separate the men from the boys in Greece right?
