John Tavares says hi.
- GoneFullRetard

Once again, I love the media.

"Hey, Burkie, would you like to get Tavares?"

"Heck, yes. He's a fantastic player. I'd love to trade up and get him. Heck, I'll do everything in my power to get him. Would love to see him in a Leafs uniform."

"Oh my God, Burke just said he's going to get Tavares in the draft! This guy has a huge ego! OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod!"

no...

*I* should have used the sarcasm font.

(I was extending your sarcasm and applying it to recent arguements about, oh, I don't know, maybe Luongo?!)

- GoneFullRetard

Oooh, just re-read your post.

Yeah, the thingy about the 40 year old kinda screams "sarcasm", doesn't it?

I feel shame.

Excellent point about the cap floor. It is what makes soem contracts so attractive to other teams... ESPECIALLY the front loaded lifetime ones. A team will have no problem unloading a 40 year old player because of that beneficial huge cap hit.
- GoneFullRetard


Also one of the reasons why I don't understand all these claims that Statsny is available and can be acquired on the cheap. The Av's don't have much incentive to move Stastny's contract, especially for a crap return. They need his salary on the books even if his stats don't justify it.

Maybe MLSE can buy the coyotes and trade Komi/Lombi/Connolly/Franson for OEL, Yandle and Smith?

The funny part is that it has been going on for a few years now... these people that argue that front loaded contracts are valuable for teams who can pay less but get a higher cap hit so they can reach the cap floor.

I can only think of one team that maybe overpaid in an effort to reach the cap floor, and even that is debatable (Florida). I can't think of one example of a team taking on a bad contract to reach the cap floor... and yet this arguement still crops up.

That's the first ever picture I've seen on the internet where I'm glad I viewed it on a work computer instead of at home.

That would give my kids nightmares.

True story: tossing and turning last night at 4 in the morning. My three year old, while still asleep, cries out, "I want chicken!"

Woulda been better if she wanted bacon, but I'm still a pretty proud dad.
