Who would buy a jersey for a player who hasn't played for their team first? Seems way too risky.

Put your name on it. It becomes timeless.

Why are NHL contracts so long?

It is a way to circumvent the cap. The contracts are front loaded so that they will get paid the most money in the short term but the hit to the cap averages out across the years so you could be paying someone more than their cap hit is allowed. They are trying to clamp down on this but its going to go back to this as owners are stupid.

Those type of contracts are gone now.

Yep, but players still want them; it's guaranteed money even if they get hurt or their performance bottoms out. And they can always ask for a trade later. Doesn't always work (ie: Luongo) but plenty of foolish owners out there that see no reason not to buy them out (even more easy money!)

A short contract only makes sense if you don't have leverage, or know a bigger deal is coming but the team can't clear cap space.

Should we drink to the magnificent 1.00 PPG average in Kovulchuk's illustrious career? 816 points in 816 games is pretty amazing IMO.

Spoiler

or we could drink to the lost first round pick in next years draft may it rest in peace lol

The Devils appear to be closing in on signing unrestricted free agent forward Damien Brunner, according to a report out of Switzerland.

Nicola Berger of the Swiss newspaper Neue Luzerner Zeitung reported this morning that Brunner “appears to be headed” to the Devils and “they’re doing a lot of background work on him right now.” The 27-year-old native of Zurich Switzerland had 12 goals and 14 assists in 44 regular seaosn games for the Red Wings last season. He added five goals and four assists in 14 playoff games.

Prior to joining the Red Wings after the owners’ lockout, Brunner (5-11, 184 pounds) had 25 goals and 32 assists in 33 games for Zug in Switzerland in 2012-13.

Brunner was 2-for-7 on shootouts with two game-deciding goals in 2012-13.

I'm still confused that EA is advertising fighting as a major feature of NHL 94 mode in NHL 14. Wasn't NHL 94 infamous for NOT having fighting?

Lol two girls me and my buddy just met invited us back to their apartment to smoke weed and when I smoke weed and drink I always need to pass out so I went home and blew my chances at any poonani.

Lol...no way you are Forza. He would have stretched both of those boxes and would have left you a facial as you were passed out.
