I think we go into the season with this line-up:
Ehlers-Scheif-Wheelers
Laine-Little-Stafford
Perreault-Matthias-Burmi
Lowry-Copp-Armia
I don't believe that it sticks too long.
Tim Horton's Field was built with public money.
BMO Field was built with public money.
BC Place and Lansdowne were reno'd with public money.
And on, and on.
All Grey Cups receive public funds.
Not saying I approve but can't blame the gov't for the product on the field.
Tough break for Raffl. During camp last year, he seemed almost a lock to make the team. Then, when he didn't, you thought he might be first called up. A series of injuries negated that and he never got up to the same level.
I'd like to challenge that no-TD call on the line. I think Harris was in. Who do I call in Toronto to get that call overturned and to fix the statistics?
I don't think Harrison is particularly interested in coming back to the Moose. I don't think he was pleased to be put on waivers and never have been recalled. The trade closed his door on the Jets forever, I think.
Wasn't the President of Canadian Tire at the meeting with the Leafs today? They really do have an advantage when signing free agents but (obviously) it does not always work!
Stamkos is getting $68 over 8 years. $8.5AAV
TO would have to pay a lot more to match TB offer when income tax is taken into consideration.
I suspect TO hoped to get a bit of a discount with sponsorship offsets.
Thanks for the link. That was quite an interesting article.
There are two factors in play that were not around in 1990, though. The salary cap, which adds incredible value to entry level contracts and the expansion draft next year.
I think if the Bruins give the Jets four-first round picks and pay way over market rate for Trouba, the Jets come out looking like winners.
Buf decided he wanted to play here.
Interesting line.
I wonder though, as often is the case, can two crazy skill guys like Ehlers and Laine coexist on the same line?
I want it to work, I really do.
