The English language is both funny and stupid at the same time

 

[Peat]

Thanks for the reality check. I was starting to feel like @Peat with all that optimism.

I'm optimistic because I know Filip Hallander will have be putting up a 30 goal pace as 2C come January.

You don’t want any part of Wheeler

 

[Josey Wales]

X 2

 

[Tender Rip]

Was there any salary mentioned for Larsson? If it’s true, I hope he is cheap, because while a reasonable defensive 4C, I really don’t get why he moves a needle? If near league minimum, OK.

I think the saying in your language goes “You’re bloody mad bruv”

 

[3ladesof5teel]

I think Hextall ends up signing Kapanen to a similar deal that Lindblom got. 2 years at an AAV in the mid to high $2 million range.

I think that's best case scenario and that's actually a very good deal for us if so

Radio f***ing rental.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

I mean, at the end of the day too, 9.75 million per goes a LOT farther in Columbus than anywhere in the greater NYC metro area or New Jersey.

There's also the political aspect of it as well. There's a lot of people that might not like to live in New Jersey, New York with everything that is/has going on

Yeah, I don't think a millionaire NJ born and raised kid gives a shit about local politics in New Jersey. He's probably mad that his favorite bialy place on Bloomfield Ave went out of business.

I don't know man. I know my counterparts in Philadelphia and cities similar. Couldn't even get into a restaurant without a vaccine card up until recently. Some places are just a mess. Some people would rather not deal with it. Bigger cities usually see more protest than smaller ones. If you have a family and you can stay away from it millionaire or not, why not.

Lol okay dude

 

[HandshakeLine]

And Johnny Hockey, like many, might also prefer the smell of cowshit and meth. But I'm pretty sure he's not signing in Columbus to stick it to the liberals of New Jersey or something

I mean, don't get me wrong, I want to live in a cottage in the Carpathian mountains, but that's mostly because I want to crank my amplifiers super loud and watch Holy Mountain on repeat for 3 days at a time.

if i lived in philly instead of pgh the last few years i would 100% have moved out of it

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Lol okay dude

Do you have a family? It's a perfectly logical reason not to bring a family into that. Behind the scenes there are some cites both fire and police departments unions fighting right now as they are close to losing a big part of their force. This is facts.

It's a pretty good reason not to bring a family into the situation no matter what you believe.

Look no further than Pittsburgh right now. I know people that are fighting to keep their jobs in those positions

 

[HandshakeLine]

Let me shed a tear for all the meter maids.

Philly is a mess, not that it hasn't always been but talking to my counterparts you couldn't pay me to live there. I think it's perfectly logical for a professional athlete, millionaire or not to not want to their family exposed to that

I would assume there are more protesters in places with more people. Not sure why this would be a big consideration on where to live unless this is actually coded language for something else

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

There are problems everywhere. I'm from a small conservative town and currently live out in the middle of nowhere and there are plenty of things going on out here people would "want to keep their family away from" too. Look hard enough... flip over enough rocks and you'll see ugliness. Turn off the cable news and stop doom scrolling.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Lol okay dude

It'd be nice if certain posters would just say what they really mean and stop beating around the bush.

 

[Fordy]

some people like to live in big cities. some people don't. some people prefer a smaller scale city. calgary is a million miles from your family, philly or new york or new jersey may not be someone's speed, but maybe columbus is the right place for this point in your life and career. what's the problem? seems as valid as anything else to me while people sit here blindly speculating on a hockey player's motivations
