I was really worried about this one...fuck...hes good and the term is pretty safe. I was just hoping to not see a number above 4mil
You haven't seen Boroturd and Ceci.
Oduya was bad but his season was worse than it could have been because Q refused to separate him and Seabrook. Those two have zero chemistry and never worked well as a pair. He would have been better with Halmarsson but Q decided to waste him by pairing him with Keith for no reason.
I feel that Oduya is insurance in case management decides that Chabot needs time in the minors. I doubt he plays with any regularity unless he has a complete bounceback.

Better than Boroturd.
I'm expecting Phagoof and Claesson. Hopefully Johnny makes sure Boroturd barely sees any ice.

Preds re-sign Watson at 3yrs, $3.3M.
That pretty much leaves RyJo as the last Pred needing a contract. (Unless Fisher comes back.)

Those statistics will normalize. Jets are dirty shitheads, so they'll get less 5on5.
The Jets are unfairly penalized by referees who see their lazy hooks and holds and occasional crosscheck to the neck-area and call penalties for some bizarre reason. Probably due to being haters or having eyes. As long as the team starts getting refs who can't see shit or don't care about tripping a guy 180 feet away from your net because you took a super long shift and are tired everything will be great next year.
But the Jets top 2 lines are going to be fucking nuts next year. Second line could be Connor-Little-Laine which would put Perreault on the third line with Petan or Roslovic.

Is Watson a fan favorite? My entire row (aside from my 2 seats) was filled with a family all wearing Watson jerseys last year during a playoff game. I wondered if it was his family or something.

And to think that number could be even higher if Scheifele and Laine understood that it is bad to run into opposing players head first

stfu Laine is like a smart person, i'm told he is one of the smartest kids ever to pick up a hockey stick. tremendous brains. but not for long IF PEOPLE KEEP CONCUSSING HIM!

Still blows my mind that Marc fucking Staal makes more than Ryan McD.

Concussions happen because of second impact, it's not the initial clean hit from Zads that concusses him, it's the brain shifting within the cranium. So really, it's Laine's fault for not securing his brain.

He's considered something of an unsung hero. Not super popular in Nashville, but he has fans for sure.
I'd argue that the Abdelkader contract is the worst one for the Wings. Although that isn't really the argument in the article.
Side note. I'm leaving back to the Old World and had a good time tasting all the various craft beers in Michigan and Illinois (and outside of those two States as well). I'd never buy European beer here in the States because of the cost and it's pretty easy to bump into those drinks back in the Czech Republic. However, it seems that Pilsner Urquell is sort of a big deal around Chicago. I took a sip. A) You guys are paying too damn much for it. Home market price is like 2 bucks for a large Plzen. B) It tastes hella different. I was shocked. But don't let me dissuade you from enjoying the US version. If it tastes good to you then great. It's just different and caught me off guard.
P.S. You Canadians make me sick. Forcing me to pay because I'm transferring to another flight through Toronto. Greedy! Yet somehow I've circumvented it like Lou circumvents the cap. On the way to the States I was told I don't need it as a US resident. On the way out I was told I already paid for it. Yeah cool whatever. Not like I'm staying in Canada. Buzz off.

He'd be a great crash test dummy, you know he wouldn't let off the gas as the brick wall approaches

Oh yeah, Predators Legend Reid Boucher re-signed with the Canucks for another year.
Didn't the Penguins offer Jordan the same deal but he declined and signed it with the Canes anyway?
I don't know the exact details but yes, Pens offered him something comparable but he wanted to play with his brother.
More than try for a ring after his long career. Welp.
Staal got 50 points in 62 GP and then 9 points in 6 GP in the playoffs.
Weeks later he signs that contract.
Every season since he hasn't come close to those numbers.
Biggest problem with the contract, as always, is the term. He's still got five years left. Depends on what he's got left in the tank, but he doesn't strike me as a sustainable type of player.

fake news.. they dont use live humans only dead cadavers that are NOT alive like Laine is, period
I don't see why. He's a big, strong two way center. Most players point totals would drop a bit going from Pit to Carolina.
