JCon Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 On 2016-06-29 at 8:21 PM, The Unknown Poster said: Confirmed? Because the rumors were Buffalo and Detroit offering $10m per year. Im somewhat surprised Tampa wants to pay to be honest if for no other reason than the playoffs showed they could win without him. Expand Ten million plus waiting through a rebuild in Buffalo. Taxes alone bring these numbers much closer together. Plus, he gets the extra year.
The Unknown Poster Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Posted June 29, 2016 Goes to show that to some players, winning is more important than money.

bustamente Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 If Stamkos signs with Tampa he made the right choice, Leafs really wont be contenders for years to come
Goalie Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) it is confirmed. 8 years 8.5 million AAV Money doesn't matter to some people.Winning does. Edited June 29, 2016 by Goalie
The Unknown Poster Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Posted June 29, 2016 Makes you wonder why Edmonton and Montreal didnt just cut out New Jersey and Nashville and make the deal themselves.

Expand 2 words... for both Hall and PK... Character Issues. Also, Edmonton actually saves some money here by trading Hall for Larsson. Subban paid more than both, actually almost the same amount that hall and larsson combined make.

Expand With the amount of work it seems Subban does for his community, if true, he must be a different person in the locker room.

Expand Lots of people do community work, doesn't make them good people. Evander Kane was big in to the charity work also. It just seems odd to me, there has to be behind the scenes stuff to both of these deals (PK and Hall) that, as fans we don't get to see. PK in particular, he's a larger than life type of personality and i could see how that could rub some of his team mates and management the wrong way.... I mean, has to be more to it than just trading him for Weber right. They traded him for a reason, What that reason is? Your guess is as good as mine but there has to be some sort of underlying factor involved. Who knows what tho but theres something for sure. You don't just trade these guys for no reason. You don't trade PK for an older Weber for no reason, unless it's as simple as Montreal feeling PK just isn't worth the money he's being paid, but Weber is being paid more so..that kind of kills that theory doesn't it. Behind the scenes stuff at play here for sure. Edited June 29, 2016 by Goalie

Expand True enough but more times than not people who go out of their way to give back to their communities are usually character people Evander Kane not with standing. Moreover, outside of his community work you talk of, Evander Kane seems to attract attention for all the wrong reasons moreso that Subban does. But, like you mentioned, most of us have no idea what sort of issues are going here non-hockey talent related.

The Unknown Poster Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Posted June 29, 2016 Habs reporter on H&L saying there have been lots of issues with PK that went unreported. Things like missing curfew and being Late for team functions. Not getting along with team mates etc.

Jpan85 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 I heard it was more that demanding better of some guys that did not take it will. Most of them deserved it but PK looks like the bad guy.
Rich Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 So here is the guy that started the Trouba rumour, now backtracking. Wonder how much traffic this rumour generated for his website?
The Unknown Poster Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Posted June 29, 2016 Interesting if true. Because as I mentioned earlier it would make the Bruins, whose owner is chairman of the board, look awful. Rich team attacks small team and drives salaries through the roof. So while it doesn't surprise me the other GM's would be hot. It would surprise me if the Bruins care
Rich Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 Or maybe this guy just made up ... or "exaggerated" these rumours. Read this article from last October. http://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/2015/10/24/9604514/how-boston-media-is-letting-itself-fans-the-bruins-and-the-nhl-down Quote Boston is certainly home to one of these markets, to the point of self-parody. Recently we’ve seen an example of just how bad and desperate rumor mongering can be, with CSNNE’s Joe Haggerty floating "inside" rumors the Bruins were looking to trade Zdeno Chara and Brad Marchand - a rumor so wildly off base that DJ Bean saw fit to publicly blow it out of the water only hours later: .... The Bruins themselves then saw fit to come out and rubbish the Haggerty rumors, which had by then been picked up by national outlets despite not having a grain of truth to them. The spread and reach around the hockey world of this caused some debate. The scariest thing about the reaction, though, was how many people within hockey media defended what is basically blatant fabrication for clickbait because of the source. Expand The article is an interesting read. sweep the leg 1
