This has happened to me quite a few times on here. Someone will post a song that I was just listening to and sometimes a song that I was just about to post. That's why I posted Synchronicity. Quantum entanglement?

The agent will use the top comparables and Benning will use other comparables to counter. They have to find common ground to make it work for both the players and the team. A lot of fans are getting frustrated because this has been going on for months. Some are over-reacting but they are just one segment of the fanbase. The opposite side want to sign them for whatever they're asking for. Most of us want to meet somewhere in the middle.

How did he look in the actual drills? Maybe he worked on his strength and skating technique too much and not enough on his cardio. I'm glad he's okay. For a second there I thought a Rathbone fan sniped him from the stands.

Marner's deal was signed when the cap was increasing yearly. It is flat now so shave some off of that. Point's bridge was 6.75 million and Barzal's is 7 million. Those bridge years should bring down the AAV on a longer term deal. So even if he gets 10 million on the latter half the bridge portion should not automatically be 10 million as well.

Back pedalling again. Show some integrity. You claimed that Green was stifling Petey and it was refuted.

Reductive crap. Are you agreeing with timra that Green is stifling Petey? Every single team uses the dump and chase to some degree. We carry the puck in when the situation allows. That is also dependant on the players on the ice and our level of fatigue. Last season was an anomaly so that slant is for whiners looking for a whining angle.

The choke point is the start of the season. If they're not signed then we lose out on maximizing Ferland's LTIR. The available cap would drop from around 16.5 million to around 13 million. If they do that just to get max dollars, then I will lose a lot of respect for them. I think the top end comparables have to be weighed against some more reasonable ones. I would like to see around 8x9 for Petey and 4x7.5 for Quinn.

Pettersson got 75.1 O zone starts last season and has 67.2 O zone starts over his career. If anything Green has helped him pad his stats.

Debates should be about policy and their implementation. Intentions and possible repercussions of policies as well. The immature attack ad level discourse should be curtailed by the moderator. I agree with the mic control too.

He inferred that people shouldn't comment unless they have negotiated multi-million dollar contracts on a fan forum. It was a ridiculously stupid question. Where are people reading comprehension.
