Thread: Trouba to FLA Myers resigns
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McMannis90</b></div><div>Lol I meant that 5.1 + 2.4 = 7.5.... not 8.5. Kucherov's deal was team friendly... I wouldn't assume Laine takes a deal like that. That would be great if he did, but I wouldn't assume that for a few reasons... Most notably, no State Tax in Florida... Which means a player gets to keep more of their earned salary. That makes an enormous difference, when we're talking in the millions.</div></div>

I'd like to complete an Economic Impact Study on what the net result to Manitoba taxpayers would be if we could exempt professional athletes from Provincial taxes. Each round of playoffs and additional merchandise sales would easily offset the lost revenues directly paid by players currently.

Thread: No trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>:laugh You're protecting Trouba when he already said that he wants out of Winnipeg. 3 seasons ago should be proof enough that he wants out.</div></div>

Please provide non-speculative evidence that Trouba wants out of Winnipeg. He has been consistent in saying that he wants to play top pairing and that he wants to play on the right side. This season, he was the Jets top pairing RHD. The hold-out of three seasons ago was when he sat behind Byfuglien and Myers in the depth chart and was being asked to play on the left side if he wanted top 4 minutes.

Thread: Nicely done Chevy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Idk if he did all that good on TDL day, he paid more for Hayes then Columbus did for Duchene and as nice as it is that Petan is getting a chance somewhere else he was an RFA that was traded for a UFA they're probably not going to sign, not exactly good asset management. The other trades were fairly minor but he did give up 3 late round picks for guys that might never play, he did get an RFA in Beaulieu but he already makes $2.4, he won't exactly be a bargain for a 5/6 defenseman next season so they probably won't make him an offer. One of the TSN guys like Dreger or Mckenzie said as soon as the Rangers got Lemieux other teams were inquiring about him, seems he had higher value then a piece to waste on a rental.
I'm glad he didn't give away any prime young talent like Niku or Roslovic but all in all I don't think he had nearly as good of a TDL as everyone thinks he did.</div></div>

I'm not sure how Lemieux, a first and a conditional 4th for Hayes is more than Abramov, Davidsson a first and a conditional first for Duchene?
