Presuming he signs before the weekend? Flames have at least four days of practices before they open in Edmonton. He'll have time.

You are so wrong...they ironed that backdrop. Last time I saw it is was considerably less wrinkly. As to the rest, I have no idea.

You're being generous, I think the real number was somewhere in the ballpark of half that.

And then yeah...maybe spend it on drycleaning Harvey the Hound.

6 x $7.131313.

Because they don't want Monahan and Johnny to expire the same year (7 years) and because he's #13! ;-)

Based on most of the guesses today, I am going to guess that there are going to be a lot of 'Treliving the Wizard' gifs when the actual contract is announced.

I will guess 7 x $6.75 or 8 x $6.95

If this contract comes in with a 6 handle we should get on our collective knees.
