    Yeah, by basically saying he has to perform at an elite level for the majority of the deal and stay healthy. That much guaranteed leaves you no outs if it goes bad.

    I don't think the $15M per is overpayment, that's easily what he would have gotten elsewhere too. The guaranteed money is massive though.

    The guaranteed number being that high is the killer.

    Lets be real though, we all agree the guy was the best corner in the game last year. What would it take for this to NOT be a bad deal? Just staying healthy (or mostly healthy) throughout and playing at a high level?

    Vet is a little misleading when it comes to Norman. For instance he's barely older than say, Sherman, but has played one less year. Still, at that age, a 5 year deal with that guaranteed money makes me worry. It's still a massive upgrade.

    First report I just saw said 5 years, $75 million, $50 mil guaranteed. That's...way too much.

    Don't mind him bringing to attention the fact that the fighters are underpaid at all. Have serious doubts he's that well liked among the rest of the fighters for him to be the guy holding the standard with a line of guys behind him, though. Also don't think he's wrong about all the...

    I don't know if I saw them projected that low, but the talk was certainly that "if you needed a QB to be a potential franchise guy, this year probably wasn't the year". I feel like they were being projected as late first, or 2nd/3rd depending on how high a team was on a particular guy...

    Convo lets be honest here, for months during the season the commentary on this year's draft was that it was a deep one, but not a great draft for QB's (especially compared to last year's). Now all of a sudden we have Goff and Wentz being salivated over and two teams trading pretty big hauls of...

    Since when are the Skins in the discussion as one of the teams to beat? Yeah, we won the division last year, but we had to have a lot of things break our way for that to happen. I don't see us being some giant hurdle for another team in the division's record. I'll be happy if we go 8-8 next year.

    He's not the bad hits with majors for boarding dirty...he's the stickwork behind the play dirty. And yes, he's a good bit dirty as far as that goes than a lot of other D men. I can sort of buy that explanation for the slash, b/c I don't think he just decided to two hand a guy to the...

    He has a history of being a dirty little shit, just none of supplementary discipline. Also, it's not like you're missing Sid and Geno this time for them to come back from 3-1 down.

    Lundqvist is going to have to completely steal at least one game the rest of the way I think. Not that he's been bad, but if you guys lose tomorrow night I think you're done.

    Just not convinced they'll actually do well by the picks, but probably smartest move. Odd for Philly, giving Bradford $36 million over next 2 years, but maybe they like one of those guys. I'm all for them burning a bunch of picks on a potential bust.

    Wasn't any real way they could have avoided this one, given the score, and scrum that ensued. Not to mention he was literally looking at his numbers from the tops of the circles to the corner. The guy isn't known as a dirty player, he just made a really, really bad decision on a guy in a very...

    Yeah. I will say that Bellemare did look like he immediately went to check on Orlov and try to get teammates to stop so he could be helped out, but there's just no excuse for a hit/shove like that on a player in that position.

    The PP went 5 for 9. Five PP goals. The final like 7 minutes of the game was basically on the PP with 5 on 3 time thanks to a slash and a delay of game for the fans throwing shit on the ice. Be glad you missed it, it was ugly and embarrassing.
