I'll be honest the Hotel was pretty nice for three stars.

I enjoyed my time in Quebec.Theres a lot of stuff that they have but we don't have in the Maritimes.

Maybe next Summer I'll fly to Montreal and make it a week or two trip or something.



Nothing that Opulent, but I did sleep in a comfy bed

How many lines of catnip?

I ordered $40 henley shirts that are a size too small and I don't have Cake Boss' swole body to make it work. Now I gotta make an exchange.

OPULENCE.

I'm watching Two Best Friends Play on YouTube play Nier and it's quite interesting. That Village with the Dream shit was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen in a video game, it's like they forgot the budget lol

I think the contract is pretty much market value, that's the sort of money a perennial art ross contender is gonna get these days

Henley shirts are fucking sssiiicckkkkkkkkkk

I've been looking around for quality Henleys for ages. I bought from Pistol Lake - $40 for a long sleeve, $35 for short sleeve.

wish I could rock a super tight fit, but I'm too self-conscious for it lol. A size up would be best, not too tight and still slim fitting.

Shipping amount to Toronto sucked, but I'm willing to do it again. Maybe a bigger order next time.

NieR has it all, I don't think it's because of budget, and even if it is, it's not the only reason

Yep, US company. Free shipping in the US after a certain price.

Lol are you serious?

Come on it's the off season, I'm taking a break from shitposting, don't make me do this

He's not wrong, they will be his "decline" years technically, but it's pretty much market value if he were a UFA. The contract is fine.

I'm not arguing against the contract (obviously) including decline years, it's for 8 years ffs, it's the "at best" part what bothered me.

He probably won't be as good at age 31-35 as 27-30, but he's a top 5 forward in the league. If you're lucky enough to get one of those guys you should hang on to them.

I'm being generous actually, the 8 year extension starts when he's 27, and in the modern NHL most forwards see their production start to decline at 27 or younger. Ppl used to think 27ish was the peak offensive years of a player but it's actually younger than that.

But hey maybe he's Jagr who knows.

Like, for most players they're at peak production from ages 24-26. That's the paradox of UFA in the NHL, which usually starts at 27. We just live with it ¯\_(&#12484;)_/¯

The reason this illusion exists is because NHL coaches historically (and continue to) give more ice time to veterans who have proven themselves. So the counting stats tend to be higher for guys aged 27+. The rate stats often tell a different story though.

I will say 9.5aav is fine the more I think about it. I think it felt so steep initially because Yzerman just took Stamkos and his agent out behind the woodshed and came back with a shockingly cheap deal which warped my perception.

I also think that the cap will be going up more slowly or start stagnant in a few years but that's my tinfoil hat theory about broadcasters becoming unable/unwilling to overpay for live sports. Or at least live sports that aren't the nfl or nba.

Schwartz' contract is solid, I'm glad they didn't go to arbitration.

I'm actually happy with this off-season, mostly because the Blues avoided mistakes with Backes and Brouwer.
 
I love that our fix for a busted ass defensive coach is to hire an AHL coach for the job. Nevermind seeking anyone outside of the organization. This worked so well with Sacco and Roy.

Frank & Oak has some nice henleys and they're a Canadian company so shipping might be more fair.
