Looking at the Pens current cap situation, he'd have to play for free
It would be the ultimate good will gesture that would cement his legacy. Not that he needs to do that, or even wants to. I love Jagr, but he's said some bullshit throughout his career and likes to play nice for the cameras. Still, a legend who's really hard to dislike.

3 month contract would be better. pull a Roger Clemens.

Or the league would even allow it
My man.
Been hyped for this movie for ages now. Who doesn't love mechs and giant monsters fighting? And having actual sets rather than CGI-ing everything is definitely a plus.
And it kind of gives me Evangelion vibes. Not at all a bad thing.

Jagr wants to play for every team.
Bozak: overpriced but we just signed Kessel's best friend to a long-term contract. That's good news. Bozak isn't a number one but I like his PK, faceoffs, and chemistry with Kessel.
Clarkson: Also overpriced but my god I just get giddy at the thought of this guy bleeding blue and white since he was a little kid, idolizing Wendel Clark and then taking less money to play for Toronto. I'll be excited all summer for this guy because of his comments to the media shortly after the signing.
Grabovski buyout: A big loss to our centre depth. I loved Grabo's heart. I'm sad to see him go but I don't think Nonis made the wrong move. He was too unproductive for the money he was making. Hopefully Clarkson doesn't become another Grabo, lol.
My hopes for this off-season: Get Kadri, Kulemin, and Franson signed to reasonable deals asap. And please god above let Toronto's top prospects develop well. I need Rielly to do well so I can bring something to the table in arguments vs. Habs-gaf.

The "left money on the table" stuff isn't a joke at this point? As if he was doing Toronto any favours by having such a high asking price. Sure Edmonton offered more. But you can assume with every free agent that they could have gotten more money were they to sign with the butthole of the universe.
Just because he left money on the table doesn't make his contract any less horrendous
Have you seen how GDT actually built the Jagers heads for the actors to act in? Ridiculous.

I have a bad feeling one of Franson/Gunnarsson is going to be traded. Gunnarson was on pace for like 35-40 points without a significant amount of powerplay time and Franson was 8th in defencemen scoring on pace for almost 55-60 points. If we don't get them on contract arbitration would probably not work out well for us. I think Franson would net us a better return, and I feel like its better to keep Gunnarsson as he seems to be more defensively responsible.
Of course if they can get rid of the horrendous Liles contract then its not an issue probably

Has Stringer Bell, Check
GOT DAT PRODUCT?
I don't know who this is, but he was cool as heck in the trailers. One of the reviews I've read for Pacific Rim already says he carries a large part of the acting calibre of the movie, as well as the Asian womans 10-year-old counterpart. Apparently the child actor for her is just astounding.
I linked it in my original post, but here it is again for anyone that hasn't seen it.
I seriously urge people to check it out. We haven't seen tech-based sets like this used since the advent of CGI in, what feels like, ever.
I can only imagine how awesome it is. HNNGGGG

Franson seems like he'll be the one traded, I think, because of a couple reasons. First is his price: After his production he's probably going to be looking for 3.5 - 4m, even though he doesn't really chew up the minutes. Second, is that he's easiest to move: He's simultaneously the most valuable and most replaceable defense-man we have. No one is going to take Liles, and having Franson around means less ice-time for Gardiner and no ice-time for really any of our defense-prospects.
edit: Then again, I felt pretty confident that Nonis wouldn't buy Grabovski (who interestingly has yet to sign anywhere) and that the Leafs wouldn't overpay to sign a shittier-21st-Century version of Wendel Clark, so who knows what's going to happen.

Pretty much. And it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for him in Toronto, either.

I need a HD version. The shitty DVDRip versions I have don't do anything justice.
But yes, watch The Wire, I find myself going on Youtube and rewatching some of the classic scenes, the show has aged really well.

Quit yer whining. "I can't anything that isn't HD, counting the lines and pores on the actors faces helps me understand the plot."

How am I meant to understand character development if you can't see how their bacteria are reacting to stage lights?
For sure.
Going by that pic of the Flyers with that porn star, they don't mind sloppy seconds, or thirds, or fourths....
Now that's a bandwagon I wouldn't mind jumping on.

Pacific Rim getting awesome reviews. The apocalypse has been cancelled.
It's still going to bomb. Apocalypse back on.

Oh god, I forgot that the more a movie bombs at the box office the less enjoyable it'll be.
But seriously, yeah, it was eventual. Not enough hype (which is what drew me to it) and last-minute advertising. Hardly anyone I know is aware of how good this is shaping up to be. It's going to get better as more people go and see it though. Hopefully.

McDonagh signed 6 years 4.7 per - now that's how you sign an RFA contract!
It will look even better when Subban's agent submits an 8 year/ $60 million offer.
