What about when New Jersey trades #2 for Miller?
-
No worries! They’re both so good. Maybe both in my top 5 for Hip songs.

But it’s the title of the song.
Give us a hard one.
How about, the fever in “Lake Fever” is two things. What are they? Also, what is the theme this song shares with “Fireworks”?

No FAs. Figure they could just sign Driedger/Danault if the sides are willing.

I liked the Canucks pick of Jurmo at 82. I know some see him similarly to the guy the Wings got at 32.

Update: my town can’t afford to reopen the rinks. Maybe not until 2022. I’m gonna get real fat.

Timing is weird. We might be into phase 3 of recovery soon, which I’m sure will have more reasonable restrictions.

Oh hey, look what I just got.
This all seems impossible.

Averaging about 3000 new cases a day here. Seems really premature to be opening an ice rink, but what do I know. It's the Kings practice facility... I guess they need to get ba- OH WAIT NO THEY SUCK.
Oh yea, that’s a lot. Seems crazy to open up at all with numbers like that.

Haven't had any word in my town. Our summer league guy is looking to get going, but the city still sounds unsure. We're in the single digits of cases in my region, and BC is averaging only about 10 new cases a day.

Still broken for me

I believe I read somewhere that the rate that the contract will get taxed at in Florida is around 39% where the rate that the contract would be taxed in Toronto would be around 53-55%
That’s 14%. Half it because they are taxed on where the game takes place.
7% of 6.75 isn’t 1.8

I’d really like to know the math he used for that one.

Read that Points contract is equivalent to a $8.5M/year contract in Toronto.
The point is more that it’s not an easy answer, like we all want it to be.
The tax amount isn’t easy to calculate. Neither is the reason he would sign for so less. Lots of factors at work.
Though isn’t 8.5% of 6.75 million like 500k?

That is one thing, but so is the amount of money they save in taxes in Florida State.

It's not as much as most people think. Only 17% difference between the top and bottom NHL cities. And that's before you factor in the fact that they pay tax for the state the game takes place in, so now we're down to an 8.5% difference. Now, if their primary residence is their summer home it gets even more complicated. Not to mention Canada and the US recently signed a tax treaty which helps out some players.
This is a great article that unpacks the tax thing, and goes on to mention everything Tampa has done well to get these great contracts (which only really started happening in 2017):

There’s no need for all of these voices. They all spit the same tired hockey narratives. Some fresh faces or just fewer faces will be a great way to save money without hurting the product.

Yea. Everyone was scoffing at the Nylander deal a couple months ago, but now it seems pretty reasonable. This could be even better in 10 months.
That being said. I’m glad I have a whole season to decide whether or not I want to keep Keller on this deal.

I think the main factor is he really dislikes the Oilers management. Sounds like they didn’t communicate with him from day one.
When he arrived he spoke very little English and they had him living in a random hotel, with no one around. Pretty crazy for an 18 year old kid.

If veg can do Frank I can do Luc.
Wayne Gretzky - 2857
Luc Robitaille - 1177
Eric Staal (so many from this year, but Staal has the most points.). - 974
Total: 5008

And Kotkaniemi is legitimately good. Maybe the most valuable player from that draft.

This is a deal a good team makes to put themselves over the top. The Canucks are a bad team. The D is bottom third in the league and they have the highest paid bottom 6 in the league, who gets get steamrolled by younger, cheaper bottom sixes.
The top 6 is solid, but they could still use an upgrade on the wing. It’s not enough to carry them to success.
Since the Juolevi pick Benning has been drafting well. He’s pretty much made up for Virtanen and Juolevi. It’s his trading and free agent signings that are sinking this team (and the development in Utica isn’t helping). Eriksson, the Gudbranson trade, the Kesler trades, Beagle, Pouliot, a second for Linden Vey, the list goes on...
He doesn’t know how to assess pro talent. That paired with this 5 years of an ‘accelerated rebuild’ has made a disaster. See NYR regarding how a rebuild should be done. Even without Kakko they’re miles ahead.

I’m so angry.
Jim knows he’s done if he misses the playoffs this year, so he’ll go full Chiarelli an mortgage the future two years from now to try to make it.
It’s Aqualini’s fault for not firing him already.
I fear what my phone is going to tell me on July 1st: ‘Tyler Myers - $8 million for 8 years’.

He’s a physical second pairing guy. But Edmonton needs him to be a top dman, so they’ll keep pretending he is.
