Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

I think it was more that his agent was told by the Habs agent, err GM, that it won't go that way with the Habs because he's never getting more than Suzuki on this contract. Stay healthy and score 50 and we'll talk later.

They took the security.

I think thats exactly what happened , but take the sure thing

Players are one bad hit away from a career ending injury

I dunno man, you've got generational money staring you in the face, in the prime of your career, with the permission to choose where you want to play and you're holding out so that you could maybe get an extra $500k-$750k / year if things go well?

I hope for him that his play doesn't drop off or he gets seriously injured. Gavrikov's a good player, but...

Yup, and thats a big IF things go well

This chance might of been his last home run deal

Same reason why I don't go in for variable rate mortgages. Find a number you can be happy with and lock it down for as long as possible. If I were in Caufield's shoes, I'd value security above all so give me a dollar amount that reflects my worth, an amount that will take care of me and my family for life, and give it to me over the longest term possible. I'd rather have that in my hip pocket than a short term deal where I'm hoping to hit a homer 2 or 3 years down the road if I stay healthy. A bird in the hand. Cole is going to make $62.8 million over the next 8 years. Why take less money in the short term in the hope of making $65 or $70 million down the road, maybe, if everything breaks the right way? How much is enough?

Exactly , CC, Stuzle , Hughes ,etc... get your home run deal at 21-22

You bet on yourself in other sports when your making 20-40 mil a year like Judge

He was due 3x what CC is making in arbitration alone . Your next contract is 200-350 mil even in a bad year

Pig Nose bet on himself and will make more than 97 starting in 2025

It all depends on risk tolerance. Yours is low which is fine. Others say fuck it amd take the risk.

Word is Houston is coming soon and the franchise free will be huge.

I see a move to a smaller city with a billionaire who wants a toy. Salt Lake City makes so much sense in this scenario, there's no way they'd ever get a chance at a team otherwise.

This hard on for Arizona is dumb. Here's how I figure this:

1) you're playing in a barn smaller than Canada gives their teens and you're supposedly the pinnacle league of hockey? Gtfo of there immediately.

2) SLC has a suitable arena for the time being. Give them a show me five year period. If it fails again it still isn't as bad as it is now. Move them again.

3) many cities realize they want a team back because it distracts their constituents from the bullshit their doing to their cities: see Atlanta part III.

If some guy with money to burn wants to put the coyotes in SLC? Just do it and end the Arizona embarrassment. Maybe one day they'll actually want a team.

In the market he's in, Pig Nose knows he'll get paid even if he sucks. But even then, one bad injury and it all goes bye-bye. The problem is agents are greedy and young athletes feel as though they're indestructible. It's a gamble.
 
Seems like we've had a lot of rather one-sided finals in recent years, where one team is clearly better than the other. This one is following suit. Last one I remember that was any way in doubt throughout was St. Louis/Boston some years back.

Edit: And it went back a ways before that too. Maybe the Hawks over the Bruins in 2013.

The refs are trying to be front and centre and are making a mess of this game.

Maybe my post helped Florida; though it was rather one-sided for a 2-1 game, it was still a 2-1 game. Florida managed to tie and its going to OT.
