Is it fun for a Millionaire to live in Winnipeg... ? honest question here

It is fun for a millionaire to live anywhere.

What an insane question

 

[Whileee]

Would lose all my money on Manitobans strippers

Oh, for that type of millionaire just about any place would be fine...

A slurpee is only like $2, so yes, it's pretty fun.

As much as it's fun to dump on Winniepg for being in Siberia and the weather is brutal it's a pretty cool city when it comes to arts and culture. There's a big youth movement and revitalization happening to the city and it's attracting business there as a hub. Wouldn't be my first choice to live if I could choose anywhere but there are worse places to end up.

Morris was better than Trouba last year, and just took 2 mil per year less than him. This is a massive relief for a fanbase that had an awful summer.

I love it here.

Not that it matters, but I don't engage in the TO bashing out West here. TO is a great city.

Because unlike the other RFAs out there he isnt greedy and wants to win. 50 mil sets him up for life and ensures his team has some extra funds to allocate elsewhere.

Allocate extra funds to guys like Kulikov and Little? How does that make sense?

 

[snowkiddin]

Absolute steal for the Jets

One guy is gone at the end of this season while the other is still serviceable to the point where, if he isn't needed, he goes to Seattle.

wtf lol because those are the only other players we need to pay right?!

Also Kuli will go bye bye next season, and this deal doesn't even start till next season.

You cray.

Winnipeg is not bad to live. But if I had no ties and could be a millionaire anywhere I would probably be elsewhere. I think a lot of players get drafted/traded and start their career somewhere and it just becomes home. You meet good friends on the team, probably some locally as well, and you see the future of the team looks good as well. You create new 'ties'. Why risk going somewhere else where you don't know what it's like, don't know the chemistry, future of the team, etc.

 

[Marshall]

Feels like a nice deal for Winnipeg. Well done.

The same GM signed Kulikov and Little unprovoked is my point. So what good are the savings when you put them towards players like that?

 

[CupsOverCash]

Great job jets. Now go lock up your other RFAs.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Fantastic deal, not much else to say.

if you are the type of millionaire who likes to still be treated as everybody else.. yeah i imagine it would be great and is something I hear from people who have the wealth. If you wanna be around starF#@!s prolly not.

[Afterburner]

What a freaking steal of a deal!!!

 

[Jeti]

Absolute steal. Amazing contract.

 

[Jaytee]

Why would he sign that

As hard to believe as it may be to many, the Jets players who like Winnipeg seem to really, really like Winnipeg. Byfuglien, Scheifele, and now Morrissey.

Not everyone wants to spend their time partying with the stars. Some of them like summers at the lake, fishing, camping, and that kind of thing, and Morrissey's a Prairie boy, so it probably feels like home to him.

The same GM who has his #1C and #1D locked up for 12.375 combined - move along

Sour grapes...

#1 goalie Hellebuyck at 6.17m
top pairing D Morrissey at 6.25m
#1C Scheifele at 6.125m
Top line winger Ehlers at 6m

All on long term deals.
