I'm really surprised that none of them have responded with, "Jalen who?"

And this is why Ramsey has won. People know him. Whether or not they did before doesn’t matter.

Give it a week, everybody will be on to something else.

Define "won".  I didn't know who he was before and now my entire perception of him is as a waste of oxygen.

Which does not include or have anything to do with hockey.  

Or anything else... I'll remember his name when I hear about him getting arrested in 5 years for something stupid.

Dreger: "I had an NHL manager tell me earlier today - Western Conference, granted - but he goes, 'I will buy you the best steak dinner there is if Auston Matthews signs for a dollar less than what Connor McDavid is making.'"

Pi is Bob Murray.

I'm not going to hate Matthews getting paid more than McDavid. In fact, I would love it ?

Also on the NHL to Seattle front... Bill Daly tells me the league isn’t tethered to 2020-21 for an inaugural season. In fact, sounds like ownership group & league are open to 2021-22 instead.

Matthews is getting Tavares' contract on the dot and it will make complete sense for all sides.

Unless he plays this season without signing and wins the Hart and the Art Ross.

Agreed. I don't see how that team functions if Matthews is getting paid more than Tavares

Super interesting: 

Defencemen who face the fewest attempted zone entries against per minute...

1) Hampus Lindholm
2) P.K. Subban
3) Drew Doughty

Forwards don't want to engage with those guys at the blue line

D who face the most:

1) Schenn
2) Seabrook
3) Gudbranson

But for 8 years, right? I could see Matthews contract coming in a little above Tavares. What is McDavid at, 12.5? I'll say 11.5 for Matthews.

Let's hope.  Their Eichel getting paid like McClavicle will force that team to blow up.

I'm telling you, AM values money above all else.

Doesn't everybody? If you had the power to negotiate a higher salary you would. So would I. So would anyone. It's human nature.

These things don't necessarily have to both be true, though. One can seek more money without that meaning they value it above all else.

Anyway, I think we're on the same page in that we disagree with Pi.

Yea, I definitely think he settles in higher than Tavares. Wouldn't surprise me if he hits McDavid's number, but I wouldn't bet it.

100% Europe.

I believe it was entirely based on his disapproval of Matthews unconventional path to the draft. He's supposed to get lazy and fall off a cliff after he signs his big contract.
