Don’t get me wrong, I approve of what Lou has accomplished so far this offseason.

But if he (frank)s up with Lee, I’ll smother the life out him with MDW’s (frank) towel.

That towel is probably the size of the tarp they bring out to cover the infield at Yankee Stadium when it rains

It's probably too stiff to be used for smothering. You'd probably be better off using it as a cudgel.

Well regardless of the method of execution, I vow that the implement will stay the same.

Okay, I don't think the specifics matter as much as the outcome.

I'm not worried think Lee will sign.

I really hope you’re right.

Regardless, the waiting is (frank)ing near unbearable.

Term has to be the point of contention that's holding everything up

I don't like that deal for Karlsson at all, especially not from SJ. But not my problem

He gets hurt a bit but good for them

This season was bad but otherwise he's really not hurt very much.

I think that contract is sure to be one of the absolute worst in the league at some point though. Way too much money and term. But I guess they got their guy and they'll definitely be competitive in the short term.

Given how bad I want Labanc, this is actually very good news for me. Karlsson takes up $11.5M of their $24M in cap space

Probably.

I’m guessing he wants max. I hope he’ll settle for 6, but frankly I just want him signed NOW.

I don't disagree, but I think if SJ didn't do it some other team would have offered him the same per year for 7 years. At some point you have to blame the GMs giving out these contracts.

Lou better have a big move up his sleeve. This was my point about other teams improving and the Isles have to do the same.

NHL has a lot of bad GM's and they stay on the job for years. Most owners are no better.

We need scoring not trouba. Now if panarin signs there then it's bad news as somehow the rangers got the two pick
