Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Something something cusp. It never gets old. For NS, anyway. Awesome!! Just think, in a few years the Sabres will be on their 14th cusp.
LGR4GM Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Posted April 7, 2016 Well, a $100k snub (the difference between finishing 4 & 3 in the balloting) might be motivational. And if he falls to 5th, and off the All-Rookie team, because 3-2nds grabs the 3rd F slot, that's an additional $212.5k out of his pocket. Looks like he'll qualify for $425k worth of bonuses w/ a 50/50 shot of the All-Rookie bonus & will miss out by a smidge (barring ~5 points in the last 2 nights) on 2-3 others. (Only did a quick look, the #'s may be off slightly.) Depends on how motivated by money Jack is.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Depends on how motivated by money Jack is. He played in the NCAA, so obviously...very :w00t:
LGR4GM Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Posted April 7, 2016 He played in the NCAA, so obviously...very :w00t: what? top college athletes don't get money! that would be outrageous... At least Jack is as motivated by it as some top prospects who drop out of school, sell their sisters into the sex trade, and move to Europe for a season to make some cash in a swiss league.
Taro T Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Depends on how motivated by money Jack is. True. But having $300k+ taken out of one's pocket for essentially losing a popularity contest could tweak the internal motivations up a smidge. No?

Taro T Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Where did you get the contract info from? (I want to be nosy and read more about the terms) CBA defines what bonuses are available to the few players that qualify for them. Considering he was the 2nd overall, feel pretty secure in the assumption that he qualifies for max bonuses on those negotiable w/ the team. The ones that are specified by the league are what they are (Calder voting & All-Rookie). Exhibit 6 holds the gory details.
LGR4GM Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Posted April 8, 2016 so in a couple years there will be a draft eligible goaltender named DiPietro... the Islanders have to draft him right?
Taro T Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 so in a couple years there will be a draft eligible goaltender named DiPietro... the Islanders have to draft him right? Only if they already have a stud they need to dump cheaply to make room for him.
Eleven Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 If Detroit this up and both Filly and Boston make it, I am going to be very upset and I may have to write a strongly-worded letter.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 If Detroit ###### this up and both Filly and Boston make it, I am going to be very upset and I may have to write a strongly-worded letter. I can't bring myself to cheer for it, but I am getting awfully tired of hearing about the Red Wings' playoff streak.
Eleven Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I can't bring myself to cheer for it, but I am getting awfully tired of hearing about the Red Wings' playoff streak. There is that silver lining.
Eleven Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 UPDATE: Detroit now tied and Boston is down 4-1.
JJFIVEOH Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 So it's down to Boston and Philly who gets the wildcard. Detroit really doesn't deserve to go. Not that the Bruins stood a chance of winning, but if you're down 4-1 with 8+ minutes left and you go on the power play......... it's probably a bad time to pull your goalie for a 6th attacker when the opposing team doesn't have to worry about icing the puck. Maybe desperate times call for desperate measures.......... I don't know.
Taro T Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Detroit'll have a chance to not back in. 2 man advantage for last 20 seconds down by a goal. Guess not. Couldn't get a shot off. Isles need 3 points this weekend to face the Pens in 1st round. 2 or less and they're going to FLA.
Brawndo Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 From Joe Haggerty Bruins getting loudly booed as they give a stick salute to the fans at the end of Game No. 82 of the regular season. What a bloodbath
Tondas Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) From Joe Haggerty Bruins getting loudly booed as they give a stick salute to the fans at the end of Game No. 82 of the regular season. What a bloodbath I finally may be able to start moving on from the Brad Park incident now. Edited April 9, 2016 by Tondas

What a bloodbath This makes me happy. I may actually prefer Philly to make it to see how bad it gets in Boston.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Mike Milbury apparently angling for the Bruins coaching gig if it becomes available. That's it, I'm officially Philly to make it, Julien to get fired, and Milbury to replace him.

Taro T Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Filly in. Baaah-stan out. Julien out? Milbury in? Oh, pleeeeaaaaase.
