If he doesnt sign by then he gets the 'Saddledome Windowless Room in the Basement with a Hammer' treatment.

Good luck signing a better deal than that with broken fingers!

Younger brothers are just so dumb.

It sure helps if your dad is Keith Tkachuk.

Friedman on the 32 thoughts podcast says there has been some progress made on Zary's contract.

Not as close as Pagnotta reported, both sides are still optimistic it gets done before camp but want very different looking contracts.

Honestly something like $3.5M-$4.0M x 2 probably makes the most sense for what Zary has shown at this point.

I assume there is one party that thinks these compromise suggestions of 2x$3.5 or 3x$4 aren’t acceptable.
