I hear you, but not like Missouri has particularly enlightened government.You can have Texas. No thanks.
I moved away about 30 years ago, but my sister and parents still live in Chesterfield so return regularly.When did you leave Chesterfield? Just asking because they've got a bunch of projects over by the strip mall that are apparently going to bring big money to the area. Was born in Creve Coeur, raised in Chesterfield, moved all over the St. Louis area until my current place in Hazelwood.

I don’t disagree with leaving, but Houston?Houston. Much more diverse, cosmopolitan place with far better restaurants and just so much more to offer.
I came here for school. Left for grad school in Atlanta and then came back 23 years ago. If you can get past weather it’s actually a great place to live. Awesome food of virtually any variety, strong museums, one of top medical centers in the world, and a vibrant job market. All it’s missing is nhl team.I don’t disagree with leaving, but Houston?

I’ve never been to zoo here. But I’ve eaten enough animals to fill one.But does it have a free zoo that's rated one of the best in the world like the Lou has?
I know that Houston's an amazing place to live; one of my aunts lives there. But I think that, honestly, there's stuff in St. Louis - both city and county; I've spent time pretty much everywhere - that isn't like anywhere else. So if I had choice to leave permanently, I might not take it.
Fair enough. To each their ownI came here for school. Left for grad school in Atlanta and then came back 23 years ago. If you can get past weather it’s actually a great place to live.

AndI disagree with that. Is everyone so enamoured with the holy market that they don't get that?The team is an investment. It's a business. Do you not get that? It's also bad business to invest 50% of your money into 20% of your roster and expect to have sufficient depth to win a championship.

You mean I understand the ideals of sport and reject the corruption of them.That's perfectly fine if you choose to be wrong.
What makes you think Parayko took less?Really? The players should take less because the owners are cheap? It was them who pushed for a cap.
would be interested to see how many "billionaire" owners there areO
F course it's because they are cheap. They have billions yet treat a team like an investment, not a hobby.
the cap exists to keep competitive balance, not 'cheapness'Kudos to them. Are tehy still the same owners as when they voted on the cap? I don't know.
they've got their own 'inner city issues' as wellI like texans, but I couldn’t take that heat and traffic in Houston.
The cap is there for cost certainty. Competitive balance is a side effect.the cap exists to keep competitive balance, not 'cheapness'
otherwise you'd have a league of 8 teams again
I can't tell if this is trolling or serious
over at the asylum there's a post where Parayko talks about his deal. in his statement it appears he hesitates just a sec and says "it's a good deal for both sides"What makes you think Parayko took less?

Or, he knows he could re gain his top pairing form and get huge dollars, but would rather play it safe just in case his injuries diminish his play as badly as it did this past year.over at the asylum there's a post where Parayko talks about his deal. in his statement it appears he hesitates just a sec and says "it's a good deal for both sides"
seems he knows he could have pushed for more, but felt it was fair enough and wanted to stay
kudos to him
he won't go hungry and didn't break the bank
there's something to be said about financial security, that's for sureOr, he knows he could re gain his top pairing form and get huge dollars, but would rather play it safe just in case his injuries diminish his play as badly as it did this past year.
that's exactly the reason why they became billionaires.O
