Assuming the rules stay the same in the next CBA, let's say he plays 7 more years (he'll turn 32 before the following season) and then the Isles pull the plug.
He'll have made $31.5MM those 7 years and the Isles will be on the hook for an additional $24MM. Gives him an average salary just under $8MM for those 7 years. That's not too shabby. Plus, there is nothing preventing him from playing for another team after they decide that contract is too rich for his production at the time.
This kid has just guaranteed himself $45MM. He might have guaranteed himself $67.5MM. He will be just shy of his 40th birthday when this contract runs out. Considering there are elite players that won't ever come close to that kind of scratch due to injuries or what have you, I don't see how he couldn't jump at that.
That and the fact that he doesn't have to do a damn thing and he still gets the money. What motivation does he have at this point? Sure, he might want to win the cup, but at the same time, the fact that he has $67 million to fall back on has to be very comforting. As long as he doesn't do anything to void that contract, he is more than set for life

He's not really a new owner anymore. He's been around for 6 years and this isn't even close to being his first mistake. First the Yashin contract and now this. Don't throw any of the blame at Snow, he's just a puppet. Wang is running the show (a second ubsurdly longterm contract during his ownership is good evidence of that).

Maybe I've gotten used to it, but I really have no problem with that logo. The hat design is another story.

They won't try at all. It almost sounds like he shot those two troopers last week for fun. There's no way they let him walk out of this alive.

Did anyone else think there was an unusually large number of ex-Bills in that game last night?

Good point.
I've finally lived here long enough to rather enjoy Moxie when I'm in the right kinda mood (the wife still hates it).
Genny Cream, for as much as people hate it, tastes like home to me. If I see it in the stores here I'll usually get a bit to enjoy while watching a Bills game - seems only natural.
I know a few people that are like that. I've never understood it. Actually, now that I think about it, the liquor store down the street from me has a giant sign outside advertising their price for it. Someday I'll have to ask if they ever actually sell any of it. I'm sure some of the cheap college students have to be all over that price.

There has to be a ton of state funds going into this search, so it better be a topic of conversation everywhere in NY. Also, if I remember correctly, the trooper who was killed was from the Albany area, so it would definitely be news there too.

The odds of what, you catching Bucky or the police shooting you because they think you're Bucky?

I think he threw it just so he would have something to complain to the league about. From the look on his face, you could tell that he wasn't serious about it. Hell, if you really want to have your challenge noticed at that point, you hit the ref in the back of the head with the flag.

I'm breaking out my hat with the giant stuffed buffalo head for the first time in probably 10 years. This has to be a good sign for sunday.

That one quote says that they can dress 45 players. What if they dress the 3rd QB as one of those 45 and don't use that emergency slot? It probably makes very little sense to do this, but is it at least possible?

He also wasn't too fond of Mike Grier.

You're assuming he does anything with that joke of a team they have. He'll suck it up over there and then end up out of the league for another 7 years.
