We're not taking I-70. When you come from the Northeast, you go I-90 to I-80 to I-76.
I'll be taking I-70 when I drive back to Raleigh next week.

Not playing around anymore.
You can only discuss parameters of the offer sheet. It’s very narrow. No extensions or what are you looking for later.
The point is that if they want the player long term, offer sheet him long term.
You know we're wasting a lot of bandwidth on something Georges Laraque mumbled that has yet to be backed up by a single other human, right? Wake me when somebody gets sanctioned for this. Otherwise it's white noise.
And if he doesn't? You think Waddell will cut his losses and let him go to free agency? Seems unlikely.
I think the idea is that he’ll be given every opportunity to succeed. More than likely, he’ll spend his first season on the wing, probably on Trocheck’s line with Necas on the other wing. He won’t play center unless there is an injury to Aho, Trocheck or Staal and even then it’s more likely that Stepan moves up than KK moves in.
If he fails as a middle 6 wing playing on a Cup contender then he fails. One thing we know about Tom Dundon is that he’s ruthless when it comes to paying players and isn’t ruled by emotion. He let Dougie Hamilton walk, you don’t think he’d let KK walk if he flopped?

He's not a winger... at all. Your GM didn't give 6.1 millions, a first and a third to have him play a position he's been terrible at everytime he's been tried.
Wonder what happens next summe if he gets 40 points and Necas 60. Should be interesting.
Habs did not match
The Canes have Aho, Trocheck, Staal and Stepan down the middle. Which of them does KK replace?
Honestly not surprising to me.. The numbers always felt like they wouldn't
I said it from day 1.
They are fine cap wise
Slavin is the only piece left to worry about down the road
They will let Trochek walk in the summer if needed
Probably. This 4th line is probably better than the Adams Family and LaRose.

Wow, color me surprised. Good job Tulsky's calculator and the rest of the front office for getting their man... now, I hope they were right
Dont know maybe your dumbass GM shouldn't do offer sheets out of spite.

There are still people out there that really think this was solely an effort by tghe
The Canes pulled off the acquisition, now we will see how it works out. If you think this was just the Canes trying to mess with the Habs, well, you are wrong.
Still people out there that think this was mostly an effort to jam up the Habs and not the Canes jumping at a chance to graba player they wanted and tried to trade for? Don Waddell doesn't do anything without the whole Canes front office's involvement. This was a calculated move to try to acquire a player the Canes wanted (possibly as a replacement for Trocheck next season or Jordan Staal the season after that).
