No need. That's some pretty awesome selfing right there.

This is too good not to share. Rahmer sent me the following email: Great conspiracy theory I just read - What if Lou Lamoriello knew that the NHL would likely kill this deal? Purposely went way over the edge on structuring the deal, and in one foul swoop he puts an end to these type of deals.

Interesting..........

I didnt think this through and ended up failing. Spectacularly. Your bang on. Definitely actual payroll dollars.

When Brodeur retires, 5.2 million comes off the cap. Look at the jump in salary. 6 million to 11.5 million, which should be around the time Brodeur retires.

Rick Dipietro called............... Anyways Dinghy, I am blindly guessing the first 2 years are cap-related. Maybe the Devil's are assuming guys like Marty will only last another couple of seasons and then that salary comes off the books?

Things I have learned in this thread? Northernwish is an Urbanhead. True story.

17-year, $102 million Hahhahaa. What a joke. Next up? Habs to sign Carey Price, 200 years for 500 million dollars.

Webeonter next sammah.

Dan Curtis is the man.

Kovalchuk has signed a 17-year deal which could top $150 million, a source told ESPN.com's Scott Burnside.

Is Kovalchuk's deal really for 17 years?

I was able to make it out 5 times and I have to say it was easily one of my favorite Bluesfest experience. Very little lawn chair action for the groups I saw and those I did see were most excellent. Loved Furthur, Lips and Arcade Fire. Usually the main stage acts end up disappointing me but not this year, unless your name starts with an R and ends with an USH.

I heard he wants to represent Canada at the next Olympics.

Another 'what' before he goes? It's not like we are talking about Sinatra here.

Folks will jump all over Jays tickets but no one wants a freebie to the Hold Steady on a Friday night? Talk about a dropoff.

Do more drugs and quit whining.

More of Summer 2010. I am going to grab a couple of these unique looking setlists.

Ask your temporary roomate. He's the one covering, or not, for this board. Edit to add: Oops! Just noticed he has submitted some work.

Cheers to the CanJam's big poppa.

Nothing against him since he is the number one we all have to back, but I am starting to get really worried the Habs are going to 'reward' Price with a stupidly ridiculous contract.

Vindication from what? Being insanely talented?
