One of many who is too boring; thinks that there should be rules regarding grammar in custom user titles, and also makes moderators wonder if there is a charachter limit here. I mean come on- you would think that would be a limitation in the software

The deal is linked 50-50, with none of the caps to escrow that the union wasted months trying to push.

Will this has been a pretty interesting thread, as hard as it was to keep up with.

12,000 some posts. The NHL and NHLPA should thank their lucky stars that people still spend so much time discussing their stupidity even when they use that stupidity to screw us over.

I hope I take a bullet in the head before I'm dumb enough to open this thread again.

Unfortunately, because I was 2 days behind on reading this thread (yes I am a loser and I read every post), I had the misfortune of hearing the news from my wife who read the announcement on Facebook.

So glad we don't lose Iginla for nothing. This is a huge positive for me, given my growing distaste for the PA community over the past few months.

Without further delay.... Let the Stajan bashing begin!!

The rest is business people arguing about splitting profits, I'm ok with that. But to now have the Owners foot the bill for what should be these guys' responsibility is kinda disgusting.
Meh - it's mostly self funded (kinda like an RRSP in that regard) with contributions from owners (like a "matching" contribution which many employees receive) and some liability protection from the owners. Just part of the overall cost of doing business.
