Penguins re-signed McCann for 2 yrs @ $2.9M AAV

That sets a mark for Larsson to come in under but close to, potentially.

I'd be surprised if he got more than $2.25-2.5M on a one year contract because of the current economic conditions

I took an organizational psychology course back in college (early 90s) and we spent almost half the semester on the challenger disaster. NASA knew the o rings were a problem from previous launches and they pressured the o ring manufacturer to give them a thumbs up for launch. In a meeting at the manufacturer, the executives asked the engineers to take their engineering hats off and put their management hats on, or something like that. And they gave the ok to launch. By far the most interesting class I ever took.

I will check out that Netflix show.

That's exactly right.

****************** SPOILER ALERT *******************







What's truly sad is that they postponed the launch the first time because they thought it might rain ... it didn't. They wanted a nice sunny day for the world to watch. They came back the next day and couldn't get the shuttle door to close. They had to take some bolts off to fix it, and couldn't use any power tools (in case a spark caused an explosion from the tanks) - BUT all the battery operated tools in the mechanics toolboxes were dead and needed to be charged ! They blew through the 2nd attempt launch window and postponed it again, as the winds were too severe. They were fine before the stupid tool episode ! That night, Florida had temps in the 30's and the next morning, the shuttle was covered in ice ! They held the meeting you talked about and a couple higher-ups OK'd the takeoff, despite the shuttle being covered in icycles. The main NASA guy said "What, are you gonna wait 'til April to launch !?!" ... he was tired of waiting and signed off on the launch. We all know what happened next. The o-rings were brittle on takeoff and the rocket fuel bled through the cracks and ignited.

Truly sad and it didn't need to happen. They should have launched on the first attempt - who cares if it was cloudy. If the NASA maintenance idiots charged their cordless tools before the second launch, the door handle repair would have taken 15 minutes - not the hours they spent fiddling around with hacksaws trying to saw the door handle off - and they could have taken off during the launch window. The NASA incompetence was staggering. 2 avoidable launch postponements, then taking off on the 3rd attempt even though ice was all over the shuttle.

mmmm no.

At least J.Staal is still a hockey player.

- BINGO!


Okposo played on our 4th line,
with over 4.5min LESS icetime than your guy,
and still scored MORE GOALS

U wanna keep half of Jordan Staal’s 6.0mil Cap,
AND give us him for free, then MAYBE
But we’d probably want u to at least add a pick
He may still be a decent player,
but he’s also a Cap Dump

Nice work. The program was incurring a boat load of set-backs and from what I found out, they were really pushing this to keep their schedule intact

Evolving-Hockey had it 6.4 for 2 yrs so 300k off per year. So he signed for the middle of a 1 and 2 yr deal

Yep, that's also true. And of course, it was the wrong decision.

I’d lock Olo down for 4 years. I like him. I think he’s going to continue to be solid!

And I like Kahun for 2 years. I wanna see more of what he brings before committing for longer term. Can he be a solid utility guy?!? Some PK time. Maybe some 2nd team pp... etc.

Sources say contract talks between the St Louis Blues and Blues captain, Alex Pietrangelo have broken off. The team has advised Pietrangelo to pursue unrestricted free agency.
