Rangers please

Kadri at his age probs 8mill x 4 years as hes 33 in Oct

kadri 4 x 9 to habs. callin it now

To me it seems like the biggest factor in Gaudreau's decision is that he wanted to stay closer to his family.

The extra money he would make by getting the 8th year is enough to buy 3 houses to bring however much family he wants to Calgary

To me it seems like the biggest factor in Gaudreau's decision is that he wanted to stay closer to his family.

Yeah but his family's life is in New Jersey/Pennsylvania/New York range.

Much easier for Gaudreau to move there instead of his family to move 2500 miles up northwest.

To me it seems like the biggest factor in Gaudreau's decision is that he wanted to stay closer to his family.

I'm 100% certain at this point that in the entire Dorion Era, Melnyk was making all hockey decisions and everyone was just going along with it to keep their jobs. This is not the same Dorion we've seen for the last 5 years. Completely different.

Rare Devil fail

imagine mislinking something. literally never been done.

I feel like that's not great family, if they're holding back his career and costing him millions of dollars. If my kid bought me a house and told me I could retire if I moved to Calgary, I don't think I'd be like nah, come to a tiny town in New Jersey instead

well we first need to confirm where he signs. For all we know it could be Long Island too.

$10M is a lot of money sure but honestly the $70M he's getting is so much he won't be missing that last ten in the long run.

Sh*t if he doesn't want 10mil, I'm literally right here. Sign the contract and give whatever you don't want to me man

Think of it this way - if someone was about to pour a gallon of water on your head, you probably don't give a f*ck if they added one liter to the puddle. It doesn't make much of a difference. You'd be just as wet as Gaudreau would be just as filthy rich with "only" that $70M too.
