I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at Goldobin signing for a $900,000, 1-year deal! Maybe Larionov got your message

I would love to see this, and I think should be the max that he gets too!

I fully agree with both of these statements - but it's not me that has to be convinced, it's Goldobin's agent. And they will use any and all comparables to get their client the best deal possible. All I am saying is that, while we all think that Goldobin isn't worth a $1.5mil average salary, I can't see any way that he realistically signs for that or less, given the other contracts out there.

Yup. If Eriksson-Ek gets this kind of contract for putting up 14pts in 58 games last year, what would Goldobin's agent insist on for putting up 27pts in 63 games? Also, Goldobin's AHL numbers are the same as Erkisson-Ek (both are a point per game players in the AHL)

I laughed out loud, but yes it seems that the math and logic is being a bit lost in translation. I think people are not understanding the concept of net gain in cap hit due to the recapture, as opposed to the actual recapture number. But I get you

What a game! This was, I believe, the first playoff game I had ever been to. Watching this goal live was amazing!!!

It used to happen to me a lot when I was an undergrad student; I always forgot to add in my deductions for being a student, and the CRA added them in for me and updated my return. My guess is it is something like this, or as a poster above noted, a typo that the OP made while using TurboTax

Ouch. That's gotta be it for Todd Mclellan.

Yep, just got this. It's the usual garbage. What I wanted to see was something along the lines of: "We recognize we have been gouging you in terms of ticket prices for the last few years, steadily increasing prices. We will reduce prices starting next year, in light of the fact that this team will be in re-build mode for the next while" Yep, I live in dreamland most of the time, but one can always hope....?

Ah, good to know. I borrowed someones set of 5 books, didn't really look into whether there would be more.

I just started book 5, thinking that was going to be it - and right on the foreword, Martin states that there will be a 6th book. I don't know whether to be happy or upset at this!!!

Exactly - EVERYONE cuts weight. Sorry, but singling out GSP for cutting weight and using that as a reason to not consider him one of the best pound for pound fighters is ridiculous. Everyone cuts weight, with the exception of heavyweights, because there is no upper limit. So of course, Fedor doesn't cut weight, he doesn't need to. But everyone else in the lower divisions do. I'm not sure how much time is usually given between weigh in and fight night, but if you can honestly drop 30lbs for a weigh in, and gain it back WITHOUT getting out of shape, well then all the power to you. That's a lot harder than you might think. Look, I never competed in MMA, but I did wrestle all throughout highschool and University. And even in wrestling, the ONLY time you maintained your weight to within the actual weight class limits, was for tournaments where they had a 2nd weigh-in AFTER the tournament - and even then, you were usually given 1-3kg of allowance (now, wouldn't THAT be an interesting rule to institute in MMA?).
