Save us Horny! SAVE US!!!!!!!!

 

[Beauner]

Save us Horny.

Horny, on a call with JR

"Look, I'll go but holy f*** get something better than that. Come on old man. Sober up a bit first"

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Save us Horny.

Seriously. Be the f***ing hero, Horny. Or ownership has reached a limit with him.

Praying Mario/Burkle caught wind and nixed the trade before it went through.

Then they fire him

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I can't even really be upset, to be honest. Hope the guy has a Schultz-like surge in his career--minus the injuries and new contract turning him into a ghost for 3 years.

If he turns out to be a total bum, that's just more of the typical shit we've seen from JR since we won the last Cup. It's to be expected.

Also

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I would get a good chuckle out of JR completely forgetting he gave Hornqvist a full NTC.

Looking at the contract, that entered my mind briefly.

 

[The Old Master]

I legit don't know anything about Matheson. Cursory glance at his stats and whatever scouting reports I could find, seems like a LD with relatively decent upside offensively? He's only 26 years old, too.

I don't trust JR worth a damn, so I'll just wait and see how bad this guy is.

on the up side...jr has been able to turn scrap de=men into gold

 

[Gurglesons]

Looking at the contract, that entered my mind briefly.

The contract saves them real dollars over the next three years versus Hornqvist's.

12.5 versus 15.5.

 

[Beauner]

Looking at the contract, that entered my mind briefly.

Very true. They may be way against committing that kind of $ and term to any guy who isn't a) already on the team or b) good. at all.

Yep. “He’s doing what?!”


If JR is the GM then he can’t be let loose. Not with big trades and not in free agency. That raises the question of why he’d be the GM but whatever.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

JR should've been canned after the Isles series, if we're being honest here.

Even if Hornqvist waives and the deal goes through, I'll just hope JR dumb-lucked his way into finding another Daley or whatever, and playing alongside Marino brings Matheson to another level.

Dude if I was him I’d bail. Sunshine and playing for Q with zero pressure?

Or stay in the pressure cooker with a crazy old man running the roster?

I’m only half kidding.

The local boys last to the party as usual

 

[RSPens]

Greg McKegg sounds like a character from the Simpsons.

Does he have a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

How great would it be if ownership just vetoes the trade before it finalizes and they just fire JR on the damn spot... One can wish.

For reference:

Matheson: 6 years at $4.875 million, $32 million in money owed
Hornqvist plus Johnson: 3 years at $8.525 million, $24.15 million in money owed

If Florida only cares about money, they come out ahead with doing Hornqvist and JJ for Matheson.

Yeah, but they’re perennial losers and had that Tallon replaced, Tallon rehired shit.

Nobody is reporting JJ involved. Stop kidding yourself Empo.

If this is the trade then I would be down with this. If they have 15 million in LD then JR screwed himself.

where are u getting JJ from?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

where are u getting JJ from?

Hopes and dreams.

"What the Hell is this, Jimmy? Why is Jack Johnson scrawled hastily at the bottom in crayon? We're not taking Jack f***ing Johnson, man."

 

[The Old Master]

Seriously. Be the f***ing hero, Horny. Or ownership has reached a limit with him.

why would he want to go to a team that thought he was worth so little? and why would he want to stay for the same reason.....well atleast his home is hear.
