I don't even post here anymore but this is unbelievable. The only drama exists in this thread. Zach is doing absolutely nothing wrong and will have done nothing wrong regardless of where he signs.
Hey, so, I have a chunk of money that I don't foresee needing in the next year or two, but it's sitting in a savings account that has a low interest rate. what's the best/easiest place to put this money for short term (year or two) that has a decent return? Thanks!
assuming it's as simple as the nhlpa accepting or rejecting that offer, how could they not accept it? either way, these types of deals are going to be rejected by the nhl in the future.
the romantic notion that a player would take less money to play for the home team instead of going elsewhere for more money and/or a better shot of winning the cup is silly. sure it happens sometimes, but it shouldn't really be expected.
When I have time I'll write some thoughts. But considering I watched the show for the mythology, not the characters, I was not happy. A coherent storyline was the very least that I was expecting, and we didn't get that either.
3rd year in a row that this thread is relevant. Lemaire clearly needs to go. Lou said he is keeping him. Therefore the only way to get rid of Lemaire would be to get rid of Lou.
It also seems pretty clear that our only shot at re-signing Kovie would be if Lemaire goes. No explosive player would want to play in this mess.
