you guys mind not rehashing this over and over and over again in a thread that's not about that dead horse? thanks
All threads are about
OK, OK, JK
Wish we had a text colour to match the light grey background. lol

I sure hope Bryan is put out to pasture before 3 years are up.
Jets need to start giving more days off to slightly injured guys before they come more injured.Good term, good number. I'd be leery of much more term because Lowry's body is already a wreck, I feel like he might be done by 30.
No place for armia on this team. Will be interesting to watch the Habs fans response to his jeckyl and Hyde play style.I liked Armia too but what can you do it's done

I don't know how much money the team has left to spend
Armia's cap hit is $1.85 M and he is an easy enough player to replace internally at half the cost. I'm sure Chevy would have liked to give up a lesser player, but there are costs to freeing up cap space.armia cost ~1.5 in Montreal
would've been nice to still have him
Ya, it just seems so strange, negotiations I mean these days. Like with all the data out there agents don't have the leverage they used to and contracts are more predictable. HF Jets posters are so close at predicting each contract correctly. It makes you wonder what takes so long when they know the inevitable number (give or take a 100k) right from the start that they will most likely meet at. The amount of time it takes seems silly at times.
GM - 2 million
Agent no 4 million
8 phone calls later they settle at 3 million
Exactly. Waste of money really. Like selling a house with an agent.Agent has to justify his commission.
This may of been what the Jets were thinking, Lowry with ubi injuries takes away from his heavy presence which takes away from his over all game. Hopefully he's got it all taken care of and stays healthy.
I was just gathering some stats on Lowry to use in a discussion with an annoying Oilers fan (aren't they all?) and Lowry had a better year than i suspected. He looks like a screaming deal.
Of Centres who played at least 300 minutes last year. (all stats 5 on 5) Lowry was:
#1 CF% - Bergeron was second
#1 fewest giveaways
#1 fewest shots against
Top 10 face of percentage
Top 10 Hits/60
Top 30 P/60
Nice
The post signing interview quip I heard had Lowry reference the salary cap.Good contract. I thought it would be 4 yrs at $3 per, so Chevy is a better negotiator than I would have been. Better term and salary.
