Thread: If Friedman is right on Seth Jones
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>You are correct. But when young men are offered so much guaranteed money it's hard to resist. But as you suggest, you signed the contract....now just shut up or just quit playing pro hockey.

I respected Trouba's decision as a Jet. He could have taken long term guaranteed money after his ELC ended. But he wanted to play elsewhere. So he took shorter contracts which guaranteed he would be a UFA in another four years. He got traded after three years. Though people knew he wanted to play in the US due to girlfriends medical training, I don't believe he was ever publicly critical of the Jets or the city of Winnipeg.</div></div>

They're basic tradeoff decisions billions of similarly aged humans make over their lifetime. If they can't grasp the consequences of those decisions, they have a lot more pressing issues than being on a losing hockey team.

Homer post? Well that's kinda the definition of FANatics.
Have enjoyed your level headed posts throughout the years, and the occasional emotional posts like this one.

PS, I wouldn't drink from the St Lawrence River either, especially downriver from the Montreal "sewage dump."</div></div>

Ditto, very ditto. The old &amp; wise must stick together in these painful starry eyed times.
I don't consider my confidence as homerism or cockiness at all. We are not guaranteed anything, but we are a serious contender.
The truth is, I'm baffled how even keel we are, every minute of every game. We are scary efficient and teams don't have an answer or the depth to stymie us, all year.
The most stress-Free season since 94!?

I drank lot's water-skiing as a kid, now i barely want to jump in it. Now I just pee in it when fishing lol.
We are all downriver from nastiness. Nobody's fixing any infrastructure, straight into their pockets
