It's way too goddamn cold in Winnipeg man.

I tell you where it's way too goddamn cold is (frank)ing Montreal today

Except for the fact that the deadline is December 1st at 5p.

Nylander told me it was midnight on the 30th.

What a bastard.

I find the whole Nylander situation in Toronto funny. When the Jets were having trouble signing Trouba, all I heard from leaf fans was..."no one wants to play in Winnipeg". Now that Nylander is not signing there.....

Its true.
Laugh it up.

I'm sure his mouth was full of the Realpartofyou, honest mistake.

Hmmm, that hair.

In August.

As a Saskatchewanian I can confirm that Winnipeg (frank)ing sucks.

Yup, been there a few times. Also watch my buddies dog run away for 3 days in Saskatoon.

Now now, a gentleman never tells.

Muzzin for Gardiner?

It cant drag into december.
Nov 30th is the deadline.

Hey, he's your Premier not mine.

Now now, a gentleman never tells.
- Fakepartofme

....so you have no problem telling then?

Muzzin for Gardiner?

Interesting deal.

I know what you're referring to.

I still think he was trolling the hell out of that girl.

I just don’t understand RFA’s anymore. The whole point of being RFA is to not be able to command UFA money. You have zero bargaining power, its the team you were drafted by or sit out. You are supposed to be market value on your RFA deal. Nylander’s market value is a little less than Pastrnak. 6.5 million for 4 years is all he is worth right now. Potential is meaningless. Many players had tons of potential and fall off. Past results is the best indicator. He can pull really big numbers in his UFA deal. Thats the point.

Yeah, but players are at their most productive before they hit UFA age, usually.

It's a thing used by owners to help keep their costs down. It should be obsolete, just like the draft.

If he signs for 8 years he is giving up some of those RFA years. Also in 8 years who knows what the NHL CBA and pay structure is like. If Dubas is only offering a long term deal 7/8 years then Nylander should get 7, and try to squeeze out as much as he can.

Potential is not meaningless, its smart for Teams to project a players production so they can try (like Dubas) to get a player on a contract for less then his actual value production wise.

imo, I dont think players 29 and older are going to get those big UFA deals down the line. if you hit UFA status at 30, you are not getting a huge payday

deal announced in next 16hrs (have to wait until little Willie wakes up..)

Don't tell Tavares that!!

Would go nicely with Doughty.

I'm pretty sure Stockholm is 7 hours behind EST, so if I'm doing the math correctly, 5 pm on Dec 1 in New York would be midnight on the 30th in Sweden.

But keep in mind this is post-legalization math.

I need some chips...
