I know someone who just turned down a job after getting a contract in hand, to take another one, only to have another one worth 20k more pop up... And they're asking me for advice. Any ideas?

Go for the $$ if it's guaranteed.

Seems to be the only real bit of information provided, so that's what I would lean towards

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but Kessel's only visit to the ACC this year is on Hallowe'en night.

FML.

I won't be allowed to go to that one.

doesn't it depend on what is in the signed contract?

First, determine maximum average hours per week you want to work

If it's below your threshold, calculate average $ per hour

I want to know how stable the companies are. Sometimes companies toss larger salaries out there to attract people but can't come up with the actual cash or go bankrupt.

Chicken.
D'oh.....i mean I want to eat chicken, not that you're a chicken.

Come to think of it though, I've never actually understood the association of being scared and being chicken. Have you ever tried to catch one of those (frank)ers? They can quite literally tear an inexperienced chicken chaser apart.

God Bless Mr. Tanner.

Latest blog: Leafs would be happy to trade Dion for a 3rd rounder.

I"m 95% convinced that Tanner is just doing this for yuks and hits (like the old Oilers and Canucks bloggers), but there's still that 5% scary thought that he actually believes the crap that he writes.

he's suggesting putting a 7 million dollar d-man on the second pairing on a cash strapped team

Yak a Mole

spinoff of whack.

i wonder when big Leon D starts living up to expecations...he's one i wish the leafs traded for.

- Lucas.Neilson


He's a natural center right? Would they make him 3rd line or move him/RNH to the wing? Hmm

Nothing that'd keep them from leaving after 2 weeks notice.

Both are very large companies, with the bigger contract coming from one everyone knows. The hours are more or less the same.

I think that has to happen with one of those two. Looking up and down the lineup it would be a waste to bury him with what the Oil has in the bottom 6.

Absolutely not. Which do you think would make the better transition to the wing? (RNH/Leon) Keep Leon at center for the bit of extra size?



Also, always hate the Habs but loving all of this stuff coming from the PK donation. So awesome what he did.
