The TSN panel boys were perplexed that the offer wasn’t for more, as Hurricanes GM Don Waddell stated himself, even with the understanding that a higher offer would have meant a greater compensation owed Carolina. The Montréal press hounds asked Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin about this, why not push the AAV up to $9M or…

I think it’s more like the League just had an Aho moment.

It would have been great if Montreal had mixed up their Sebastian Ahos.

I forget, is this picture pre- or post- his Billy Idol phase?

Then NYR GM Glen Sather was criticized for signing the likes of Scott Gomez and Bobby Holik to huge free agent deals in the early Aughts, while he’d pissed and moaned about his profligate colleagues and the crazy contracts they were handing out when he was the GM of the small-market Edmonton Oilers previously.

Playing for the Original Six Rangers in Manhattan at Madison Square Garden, putting on that sweater, still holds an appeal for players, especially European players I would think. This is a team they’d heard of back home, the name has the cachet that a Manchester United or the Dallas Cowboys has.

I think there are two reasons why the Rangers are still a respectable franchise and an attractive destination for NHL free agents, whereas the Knicks are not very good I’m led to believe?

Thanks for the background info on Ms. Merkel, I didn’t know that.

I don’t think she’s that dumb. She knows she’s out of her elements, out of her league, her brain hasn’t spongiformed to the degree that Daddy’s has.

Not to her base it won’t. The vapidity that exudes from her is immaterial, what gives her airtime on Fox is the 40% of the nose they left on her face. Allowing herself to age would not play well to talk-show voters. Plus, Daddy might blurt that she not his type.
