Vs having uncles named Tony or Phil which one would assume...but nope http://www.ecachockey.com/men/members/harvard/20150607_Esposito_Relative

Seriously if my company offered me 3x my current salary for 2 years and knowing I can get more down the line I would probably grab the offer and run with it! I know the "system" know if I get hurt I am getting top notch care etc etc.

Decisions Decisions. 3 mi with no taxes for 1 yr or 1.9 = 3.8 - taxes for 2 years He is probably in the 40% bracket(assuming US Taxes) so 1.9 per year goes down to 1.14 per year so now he is underwater by 760K over 2 years vs KHL deal. Hard to ignore leaving 380K on the table per year. Granted most members here would shrug their shoulders at that kind of loss and not be worried.....riiiiiight I am going on the ledge and saying deal gets done for 2.2 for 2, 3 days before camp after AA goes to Russia to scout things.

Maybe a drunk chimp but not Sheehan, Helm or others....

and think of the money saved just on this part of the experience!!

Stupid question based on above is there a limit to the number of players you can put on LTIR? Could LTIR 2 players besides Mule get us out of cap jail?

Well thank God I have my Kenny punching bag in the office. Get out my frustrations over silly things like this by beating that thing black and blue

Is something like below still allowed to sign a player? A little difference between Hull and AA and the state of the team at the time this occurred...LOL https://www.si.com/vault/2002/04/22/322091/ice-age-the-spirited-play-of-brett-hull-37-and-luc-robitaille-36-make-detroits-red-wings-the-old-favorites# "Four players, including Chelios and Shanahan, deferred some of thisyear's salary, and Hull agreed to backload the deal, taking just$3.5 million of the money this season so the Wings would have twoprofitable playoff runs before having to pay him off by July 1,2003."

Well solves the cap issue I guess...but why would he bolt? Wouldn't the Wings still have his rights?

So maybe this is a way to get draft picks? Did a quick lookup on almighty Google and for a contract of between 2 and 3 million it's a second-rounder given back. If this is Kenny's "strategy" let's pray for AA to get a 4 million $$ contract and we can stock the cupboards a bit. I am pretty sure no one is going to offer that kind of money to him but one can dream and make the best of this salary cluster "insert dirty word here" table below from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offer_sheet 2005 Averaged Salary 2017-18 Averaged Salary Draft Pick Compensation $660,000 and below $1,295,571 and below No compensation $660,001 to $1,000,000 $1,295,572 to $1,962,986 Third-round pick $1,000,001 to $2,000,000 $1,962,987 to $3,925,975 Second-round pick $2,000,001 to $3,000,000 $3,925,976 to $5,888,960 First- and third-round pick

Sometimes miracles do happen.....

Survey of fans and how they view their management....and guessing Dickie and Leftwinger voted a few times! http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2017/07/red_wings_fans_have_lost_confi.html#incart_river_index

Especially if that breakout season is your goaltender. Basically we become Montreal 2 if that were to happen

Dickie,Lefty, CRL get your resumes ready.....

I think his attitude is the key to working his way out of the hole. What's the old adage "Work beats talent when talent doesn't work" So translate it to "Jimmy beats Petr when Petr doesn't work"

LOL why not? Not that Trump is the shinning example but the original folks that were congressman actually worked for a living vs feeding off the taxpayers and lobbyists. We had a discussion the other night shouldn't senators and representatives be paid by the state they represent vs getting their pay from the federal govt? Then cabinet ambassadors would be be paid by the fed as they represent the US. Something to chew on a Friday afternoon and a massive thread drift...

As long they finish by September for Kid Rock I will be happy. Funny coming back to see a concert at a hockey arena then back in Jan for hockey

and if we get anything close to this......I would be estatic

Maybe he becomes a wrecking ball and hits everything in sight which is something we haven't had in ages.

I am sure league revenue is helped by things like this that was signed in 2014 for a 9 year deal http://deadspin.com/what-the-nbas-insane-new-tv-deal-means-for-the-league-a-1642926274 2.6 BILLION per year starting last year which ain't chump change.

94 players in NBA make over 10 million which Mr Sid makes this season if I read terms of Sids contract right.

NBA avg is 6.2 MI going to 10 MI by 2020 season heck I would sit at the end of the bench for 4 MI per year. He was off decimal point and a few numbers as 6.2/82 = approx 75k per game. My oh my how do they live with such a small check! Wonder how that breaks down per touch of the ball.

Comes with a pretty bad ass beard too....

Hate it when people promise things and don't follow through.... "When Nick retires so will I" ....Ken "Liar" Holland

Last pick only one under 6 foot now if half these big boys make it we will have size just in time as the game shifts back to small fast players...LOL
