Ten million plus waiting through a rebuild in Buffalo. Taxes alone bring these numbers much closer together. Plus, he gets the extra year.

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.

I think Weber is actually getting paid way less now. Wasn't everything in the signing bonus? AAV remains, of course.

I go into one meeting and everything blows up. Where's Chevy? What's he doing? Get on it Chevy or get out!! /s

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.

So, you're saying being down 8 with 2:38 left, the Bombers were not in the game???

It's telling that they don't want a fine for talking about players under contracts with other teams.

And, who could fault Trouba for signing an offer sheet like that? Even if he wants to play here, he would be foolish to leave that money on the table.

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.

And think, with Sweeney leading the Bruins, those four picks might be lottery picks!!

Jones signing is great news for the Jets. Hopefully, this will close the negotiations with Trouba for around the same price.

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.

We certainly hurried Glenn which caused the Randle turnover (and almost the Fogg turnover on the play before).

A. Harris

2015? Are you kidding me? Once, he threw for more than 300 yards and once more than 2 TDs.

But for arguments sake... This is exactly the way Willy looked most of the games last year before the season ending injury. He was holding the ball, inaccurate down field, and throwing short of first downs.

All true. Legend has Bluto fought himself at centre field, at halftime. Those were crazy times.

I'm not even convinced Connor spends the whole year up with the Jets. Big jump from the NCAA to the NHL.

Lovers? Same kid that got sent down last year?

But the point I was making is that if the Jets had already decided Pulu was the guy, why not make a deal with CBJ?

And how would that change with this proposed trade?

I was hoping to pick up my jersey before the game day; however, I can't get out there before 6 tonight. Does anyone know what time do they close the parking lot down prior to game time? I hope that I can get out to the stadium tomorrow, later in afternoon but need to get close to the stadium store.

It would be even better if the Jets had already decided they wanted Puljujarvi! Anything on top of the 2nd overall for the 3rd would be a good deal. How about 3rd overall and CBJs 1st rounder next year for the 2nd pick? Since we're throwing around ideas.

Petan cannot be picked.
