I ordered a $40 copy for the PS3 for my brother during E3. He was also upset about no PS4 edition but because of that it's saving him $400 this year.

It really shouldn't be sold at full price at this point. Very few changes and no next gen.
I'd buy NHL for $30, not $60.

Can someone explain to me why FX splitting off into two channels is a good idea? I know that college campuses aren't going to get FXX, and everyone else with basic cable either. You're telling me I can't watch new Sunny, the League, etc? How is this beneficial to FX?

I didn't know Radar and Kadri were such close friends.

I'd vote Liberal in the next election if it weren't for Trudeau. Not that my vote really counts: The NDP has had my riding on lockdown for the past 3-4 cycles.

It never ceases to surprise me people pay full price for a roster update every year.
People forced to subscribe, therefore more money to FX.
Not that I agree with it, of course.

The Bozak signing is coming back to haunt them. Kadri + Kessel ++ for Tavares.
:lol Kave Man please. Get the fucking names right at least.

Bueno.
Tlln pls
Yea honestly now I may just pick up a used copy of NHL 13 for like 20 bucks just to get the roster. I definitely can't imagine buying these games every year, I don't know how this turned into an annual thing.

That's is pretty awesome. NHL/Hockey is the greatest pro/team sport in the world.
If people buy it, they'll keep making it. Same reason we see a CoD every year.

I still don't understand why Franson didn't file for arbitration, would have forced the issue.
Kadri can rot for all I care, he's not worth the money he's demanding, Nonis will stand firm and bring him in line.

can another team sign Kadri to an offer sheet and force the Leafs hand/steal him away?

I think I know just the guy. Iginla still isn't back with the Flames right?
If Calgary sign him for 3.4mil + they can have him.
Dat Calgary 1st pick.

I just don't get why a team with cap room wouldnt do it. Screw the Leafs over, acquire good player. Seems win/win.
Isles got cap room, but don't really need him. I'm sure someone does.

The NHL development team barely has enough people to upgrade the rosters each year, let alone port it to PS4/XBO.
:lol
It's usually pretty chill unless you push specfic buttons. Then... Not good. Otherwise we're all friends.
I think its just kind of like an unspoken rule.

GMs need to sack up and start causing trouble. I'd be the bad boy of hockey General Management. Screwjobs left and right.

Situation is simple for the Leafs
a) Make a trade to clear up cap space
b) Sign Franson or Kadri and trade the rights to the other
c) Let them hold out

GM Connected.
But the problem then might be that GMs stop making deals with you, im assuming thats the situation.
Yeah the unwritten rule of GMs not screwing each other over with the cap situation. You never know when your team's cap crunch will come and you get screwed over in turn.

Freshly lathered sacks
I always hope the offer sheet process worked like this:
RFA declares he's up for offer
Every team puts in an offer like a blind auction (in multiples of $250k)
If team abstains, the offer is league minimum
Picks aren't based on upcoming draft but next available picks. (So this allows more flexibility)
Top bid is the team announced (unless there's a tie- then player has a choice), player must take top bid, team that holds his rights are able to match.
This puts all risk in players
Guarantees a signing (team must make QO first)
Cuts the bullshit
Removes the inter-team dick waving

Guys, I have a new song stuck in my head...

I don't know any of the lyrics except for when he says the name of the song. I guess it's better than that one diamond song.

Yeah but are you really willing to give up at least a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick for Kadri?
If McKenzie is right that Kadri wants something around a 6 year, 5.5 per deal there's no way he's taking less then that for another team in an offer sheet.
The "roster update" critique is probably relevant for 14, but not for 13 I'd argue. The skating was pretty much brand new and they made some really good improvements to the EASHL. People can't walk around with snipers at 99 Wrist Shot and 99 body check anymore, they actually restrict your player growth based on your player type. This was partially so you'd buy the upgrades to push you past the cap I'm sure, but the result is that the experience is a lot more enjoyable and if you're just starting out it's really tough to just get run out of the building like in 11 or 12.
But I think the real reason NHL sells every year is because of EASHL, that shit is really addicting. If you buy the game now for 20 bucks most people would have ditched the mode I think.

That doesn't bode well for future trades with that team. There is an honor system amongst GMs or they don't do business with each other
This is what will happen. Seems Kadri needs some more growing up to do. Franson 4 at 4 I'd do in a heartbeat.
If I was Calgary I'd do that for Stepan, but not Kadri.
Funny. Same thing happened to me when I heard it. All I know is Ascension Millennium! and I sing it over and over. I need help.
I'd love to see offer sheets all over the damn place but I understand why teams don't. Certainly the cost/benefit is way out of wack given that a) you have to usually overpay the player a bit like a UFA and b) the draft picks are likely to be good since teams with ample cap space tend to be rebuilding. Ah well, nice to dream about.
I'm in a suicide pool for the NFL with some people this year. I guess it starts Thursday. What the fuck is a suicide pool? I pick a single team to win or something?

But TeethMummy, your GM rating will drop, and you'll lose phones to negotiate with!

I think they'll go with option C. Neither of those guys strike me has having the wherewithal to endure another 'lock out' of sorts.
Mind you, had Kadri and Franson maintained last year's form over an 82 game season, I'd want Nonis to sign them, post haste. As it is, holding out with such a meagre sample size just smacks of a cash-in attempt.
I really just see this whole thing stemming from the fact the sample size was for 48 games and the cap went down.

Or it's The Curse of Ghost-Burke, ruining things just as it seemed the franchise was emerging from it's decade long fugue state.
