Rico’s, too. Doug Wilson extending all these guys like he’s trying to keep some multi-time cup winner together. Up to the cap in fat contracts to lose in the first/second round again.

He shouldn't have gone public with it unless he was ready to name the player. The obvious result of not saying who it is, is that a bunch of players will be speculated about unfairly, such as Juolevi.

This is embarrassing for Marek at this point. How could you not have known this stupid guessing game with false sources would be the result.
Yeah, definitely seemed curious that he went into detail. Although maybe it was just me, but as Marek was telling it he realized he shouldn't be saying anything.
He could have just said that he had heard of a prospect whose development derailed because of video game addiction and that would have been an interesting anecdote on its own. But he didn't have to (inadvertently) provide extra clues as to who it might be.

Just wait until the year after (19-20) when Peg Leg Joe is 35 and on a really brutal deal, Couture is making $8+ million per year, Vlasic is making $7 million while declining, Jones is making close to $6 million to give you league average goaltending, Doug Wilson is still in charge and they still don't have a cup to show for it.
And they'll still have one more year left of Boedker's floating carcass.

Yeah, that's when I saw they'd have issues but Thornton will be doing one year deals, I mean it's whatever.

I mean Pavelski when I say peg leg Joe.
Thornton will probably get a one year deal this year and maybe next year.
I really have no interest in offering Pavelski more than a one year deal. Two year deal at the very absolute most.

Because by 2019-2020, he’s gonna be reduced to the speed of a guy that’s got one leg. He’s already close enough to it now.
I like him as a player, I just don’t think multiple years should be invested in this guy. Doug Wilson can’t be making this a retirement home. They already got Vlasic signed until he’s like 38-39, they got Burns signed until he’s 40, they’re likely gonna have Couture signed until he’s 37 or so, knowing Doug Wilson. You’re really using a lot of calories to keep a core together that hasn’t even won a championship. This is what got guys like Lombardi in trouble in LA, and Chiarelli m Boston. Bowman might possibly soon find himself in that position in Chicago. And those guys had cup teams. Multiple cup teams in LA and Chicago and even Boston made the SCF twice. This Sharks is a one time Stanley Cup Finalist.
So to be concise here, if they extend Pavelski multiple years they’re extending him just to extend him. They let Marleau go and that was more painful than Pavelski, at least for sentimental reasons. I expect in a couple more years Pavelski also won’t be as good as Marleau. He won’t age like Marleau has and even though Thornton is a turtle, Pavelski just doesn’t compare to him.

I think this may be my first ever "like" of one of your posts.
Don't do it again. We have reputations to maintain.

I’m still convinced that there are like 3-4 of you that are the same person, just arguing with yourself over multiple accounts
. Not you specifically but that’s my theory anyways.

I kind of look at this place like a wrestling show. The heels are gonna do heel things, both sides are going to get their stuff in, and there are usually multiple, multiple rematches, plus the occasional battle royal.
Team coach Alexander Mityagin had prepared well for the event, and had taken a flexible approach to the day's learning so that this special occasion would pass without a hitch. He listened carefully to the all the requests from photographer Andrei Golovanov, who needed to play the part of a theater director to ensure the most professional results. In all, the Cup spent about an hour being pictured with Tatarstan's young stars of the future. and their parents. Tutuapp 9apps Aptoide

I would love to hear the audio. Lou-talk almost makes sense when you transcribe it. Listening to it, however, kinda sounds like a politician on drugs.

i actually wouldn't consider kovalchuk to be a snake if he joined the isles. granted, they have MASSIVE defensive woes, but if they fix that up, I still think they're a competitive team.
if he joins the rags, however...
