So I just finished watching The Wire and looking for another series to get into.

Is Breaking Bad worth all the hype?

Great show. Ever watch Strike Back? Not nearly in the same class as The Wire, but very entertaining. Also Mad Men, it's the best.

Srsly?

I probably grew up in the most redneck town in SK.

I never heard a gunshot in my 15 years of schooling.

Agreed.
However I believe he's capable of being that crucial. When you look at his first two years in the league, how many minutes he's played, at his age? As well as he's played most of the time? He could end up being a pretty special player, right now he seems like a schmuck, then again he's 22.
This whole contract things is turning into a pain in the ass.

No matter which way you slice it habby, he ain't worth 6/per.

He is one of my favorite players but I cant help wonder what we could get for him in a trade if hes going to end up with a stupid contract...

In 5 years probably. But not now.

Unless we judge him via the "how much would Glen Sather pay" metric. In which case, he's worth at least $15m p/y

No question, but I think 4.5 range, especially considering mtl ALWAYS overpays because of taxes, is not ludicrious.

There's probably about 100 tied for number one.

Maybe more.

Or did he just want to stay in NY?

That's the part that's pissing me off with the PK thing, seems very complicated for a guy who supposedly wants to be in Mtl.

True. However, if you keep throwing poop at the wall, eventually some will stick.

Part thats pissing me off is there was just a 4 month argument over money, lockout ended and I assumed he would sign that day now he is missing the one week training camp to argue about money some more, missing camp, missing the team learning the new coach's system, and he has not even been playing somewhere else during the lockout so he has not played a real game of hockey since last years regular season..

Relax mon chou. They're just late to negotiate because of the lockout.

Tyler Myers makes 5.5 cap hit
MDZ 2.5

That's probably the spectrum both sides are working from.

Was wondering how long "No Excuses" in Habs room would result in language debate. On Le Match tonight. As if the slogan is for writers.
