No? Why would it be?

In 5 years Mack will be getting more than 9 mil

Lmao gave himself the nickname Nate Dogg. I'll bet one of the "questionable songs" Crosby pointed out was by Eminem ft Nate Dogg. Ya'll know the one.

There has to be a few slow Drake songs in there too. Guaranteed.

 

[Makar to MacK]

I think as far as Mack and trading Barrie, I think he'd be sad his BFF is gone but Mack also understands it's a business so I don't think he would try to take off or anything.

Exactly what I said the other day. Their friendship is way overblown imo.

Ah, I interpreted it as 'he's not worth 9m/year' Which would have been ridiculous. 9m would be another steal.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Guess I wasn't clear. My mistake. Can't see him signing for 9 million because he's much more valuable than that. He's also being underpaid now. He's going to want to get paid and rightfully so.

Yep, for him it's a blank cheque. Take whatever you want.

Hockey season has arrived!

Hopefully now we can stop talking about trading Barrie and instead talk about his terrible defense.

I found this paragraph especially interesting.

"But the Avalanche have five more years remaining of MacKinnon at an absurdly luxurious $6.3 million annual cap hit. “Best [contract] in the league,” Barrie says. “You don’t get a guy like that for that price. We’ve got to make it work.”

Got to make it work.. aka I'll take 5.5m for the next 8 years, Joe.

In the midst of Alt getting sent down, Anderson got sent down to Utah.

Yeah, frankly I feel that most players are buying into what's being built here. Sure, Mack and Barrie will get paid (especially due to past contracts) but I wouldn't be surprised if some of these players ie. Zads, Rants, etc. take somewhat of a home team discount to ensure they have the best possible shot at building a true contender here.

The real reason why Matt wanted to leave was because Nathan took over the music in the room and was playing too much Kodak Black and not enough Kenny Chesney. #Letstalkaboutit

Once the country music left the room the team got better. Coincidence?

Not surprising. Country music is dog shit.

That's a good point. Their victory song last year was DMX so you know they were doing something right from the start.

They should make Ante Up their pregame song.

X Gon Give It To Ya isn't a bad option, either. Anything DMX, really. That man gets you hyped as ****.

I remember hearing Public Service Announcement in the warmups once. I don't remember if it was the Avs or in the NHL at all but it was cool too. I used it in a GDT too, afterwards.

Now you get why all those years Sacco would say ," We didn't start the game on time." I used to always blame coach of the year nominee Joe Sacco for that problem but I know the real problem now.
