RNH gets a 7yr extension with Edmonton

 

Mark Spector ‏@SportsnetSpec 1m

Oilers announce seven year deal for Nugent -Hopkins.

 

Another great sign of how broken the NHL's system is right now.

I wouldn't give Hopkins that money. But you are indeed correct

[That Aud Smell]

Methinks they're planning on putting some advertising back there and don't want the jerseys tucked in hiding it.

I think so, too.

I believe Paul Hamilton nailed this one on the head. The jersey manufacturer has their logo at the bottom of the jersey, considering the money they pay for the rights to make the jerseys it's understandable that they would want their logo visible. I don't think we have to worry about other logos appearing in the near future.

Except Reebok has their logo ... actually, now "REEBOK" ... above the nameplate, not on the tail like the old CCM/KOHO (etc.) jerseys. There is no Reebok logo down there to hide.

So you're saying we need another lockout? ;)

[Jeanbe]

The minute jerseys have ads on them is the day I stop buying them.

 

Remember (old timers) when they sold ads the meme was that it would keep ticket prices down. Never happened. Just more profit. I think it's just a matter of time that our uniforms and rink look like the circus that is European hockey.

I fully expect it to happen, I just won't support it with my money (and no, I have no delusions about anyone caring :lol: ).

That money Oilers gave to RNH is absurd. Has to be the highest paid 4 goal scorer in the history of sports.

i don't know enough about the young core that edmonton has to comment, but it's clear that they think the world of The 'Nuge.

 

i wasn't aware he struggled so badly last year -- his rookie year, he put up some numbers.

 

what's the AAV? like $6M? i'm sure the thinking is that that will be a good/great deal for the team in a few years when he starts to come into his own.

Helmet rule loophole. :rolleyes:

So the back of Armia's jersey was tucked in when he scored last night.

No goal?

Of course no goal. It gave him an unfair advantage... or something... idk really this rule is so stupid my brain can't function.

[Who Else?]

I know this is out of place, but did Dish Network ever pick up MSG? Once you lose the two year bonuses at Direct TV, their packages and fees are ridiculous. The only reason why i have Direct is the Dish MSG dispute.

I suppose Bettman feels if the fans are torn up by this rule change it'll take their minds off bigger issues like concussions and the like.

Also also, I like your Stafford trade avatar.

But could he do it better then Hodgsons Dad?

or

Is that something Gary Roberts could teach Cody in the offseason?

if Cody doesn't learn to swing his stick and break jaws like Kassian he has no place on this team.

@BuffNewsVogl

Phoenix has put South Buffalo's Tim Kennedy on waivers, according to @ByKevinAllen

saw that play. that is a major-league POS move by kassian. on the continuum of unintentional<-->intentional, wielding your stick in that manner is *just* shy of being intentional (i.e., is supremely reckless).
