Stoke me a clipper.
The movies again, eh?
At least he wasn't at a museum.
I'll show myself out.

What a bum! Doesn't he know that you're supposed to turn your phone off while at the movies?Haha. Looks like Hanifin was interrupted at the movies once again:

"The moment Noah Hanifin heard the news from agent Pat Brisson on June 23 that he'd been dealt to the Flames, he was at home in Boston, at a local Cineplex, about five minutes into a screening of Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom.
Well, there's obviously something about the magic of the movies …
"You're not going to believe this," laughed the freshly-signed Hanifin, long distance late Thursday. "I'm in Tampa Bay right now with Auston Matthews and some guys - Charlie McEvoy, Kyle Palmieri - at a camp. We skated this morning and - I'm not making this up - I was a movie theatre this afternoon when I talked to Pat, my agent, about the deal being done. I swear to God.
"Yes, again.
"We were watching Mile 22, with Mark Wahlberg. I told my dad later: 'How wild is that? Isn't that the weirdest thing?'
"I have good luck with movie theatres, I guess."
Nah, just turn it to silent. No one turns their phone all the way off these days.What a bum! Doesn't he know that you're supposed to turn your phone off while at the movies?
I think it's a good compromise. It's team friendly, but still well paid. If he never becomes a true top pair guy, that' a fantastic contract for him. If he does, it's a great one for the team.I wanted a 3 year deal, but at this AAV, I can handle the 6 year deal. This is very team friendly.
Me too. Coaching is the one thing that makes me the most nervous though. Still not 100% sold on Peters. Gully and his coaching theories left a bad taste in my mouth. Really scared that with Peters it will be the same old same old. Same theories and the same result??
Go home.I'm amazed that 14 sequels have already been released since "8 Mile." Would have never known.
Not going to happen, obviously the new internal salary cap is $5m... expect an 8x$4.99m deal by ChristmasOkay give me an Matthew Tkachuk 6x8 and I will do anything you want be to do B-rad
Agreed. I think in fantasy land, the ideal 3rd contract for a core player ends at age 33/34 (although the fantasy land contract would be for an RFA at 25/26), so UFA at 27 is pretty solid. That way you're not experiencing too much risk in the contact, but it goes late enough into the player's career that his numbers have likely started to dip and will suppress the money you need to pay him if you want to sign him to a retirement contract.I think it's a good compromise.

He is also UFA at 27. Which, assuming he does well here, and wants to stay here, we get to sign him with 3 under 30 years left. A lot of those third contracts are going to be 29-30 year olds, so if we sign him to another 6-8 year deal eventually, the entire deal isn't in his 30s.
No, it wouldn't be a good contract at all. As it stands he's probably on a 3.5 million D-man, borderline top 4 like Stone. But, I have little doubt Hanifin will continue to grow as a playerthe contract wizard strikes again, wow, zero reason to hate this contract. If Hanifin never improved it'd still look ok.

Nothing about their games is comparable, correct, if one ignores their place in their teams lineups last season. The only way someone would do that though is if they are intentionally being obtuse and argumentative.Hanifin and Stone aren't even close to being comparable players.
Good way to word that Rubi. I love the potential of the deal, but time will only tell if it becomes the steal we think it will.Right now I like this deal. Give me another couple of years and I'll be able to tell you whether or not I love it.
