Someone better remind The Scorpion what happens to people who welch on bets on CP!!
Was puckluck no? I remember some controversy about him welching.
Before that was our hero Ren who so gloriously lived up to his bet and will live on in our hearts for all eternity.

Well nothing that I'm aware of actually, at least nothing to do with the bet. He's gone now, but I don't think he got shown the door for welching. He just got shamed and made fun of a lot. Search for "welch" on CP and you'll see a whole bunch of posts from right after the olympics making fun of him.
Someone explains it from a different thread a while ago:

Puckluck and Red John had a bet from before the olympics Canada wouldn't get out of the Quarters (Puckluck bet they wouldn't make it past that point). They didn't figure out how exactly they'd pay each other when one of them won, because Red John isn't in Calgary. Then Puckluck lost the bet and claimed that because they hadn't hammered out a way for the money to change hands, there was no bet and he didn't have to pay up. Throughout this Puckluck made odd claims like having no access to web banking, no paypal, an unwillingness to use 3rd parties, etc. Basically he made a dumb bet and welched on it.

Oh dear.
Thank goodness this is just for an avatar. I won't welch on this, I promise. 
You can count on me, and you can also count how many goals Jones will score next year. Of course, you'll have to have at least three hands

Soon this thread will morph into a betting thread and outlandish claims for the season.

Also, signature updated. Hopefully, it'll be updated at least 15 more times by the end of the 2016-17 season.

Is there any chance the Flames go in on Hudler? Can't have enough depth on the wing

Two conditions:
1. Jones plays at least 41 NHL games in 2016-17.
2. Jones plays zero games in the AHL.
Agreeable?

I'm a man of my word. And my words are not very happy right now. But it had to be done.
