the more i think abiut it, the lack of leaks makes me think its SJ
Seems like nothing we do ever gets leaked, meanwhile Toronto and Tampa stuff gets leaked all the time

Was thinking the same. People are grasping and straws and that kind of media blackout is 100% San Jose.

I dunno, I don’t see him waiting out like this as a money thing
I truly just believe he’s weighing his options on what’s best for him now and for the future
There’s no rush for him to sign anywhere
Of course we want it to happen already but for him there’s no rush

This definitely tops the Kevin Durant sweepstakes. That seemed in the bag all along - and was resolved more quickly

That’s discouraging IF true. If he wanted to come to SJ and we offered 7/91MM it would be agreed to. But pagnotta isn’t that reliable and unless someone from JTs camp leaked that at Brissons discretion I don’t see how details leak out now after all the hush hush

Why are people still pretending Pagnotta has any idea what's going on? He literally called yesterday "Tavares Day" and said teams would be informed of his decision yesterday morning. He's a f***ing clown. If the actual insiders don't know some hack at the Fourth Period definitely doesn't.

He called the LoCo thing before anyone yesterday. Also this is all speculation from everyone haha we need something to talk about.

I know we're all desperate for info but he's not a reliable source. And anyone could have called the Couture thing - LeBrun reported the eight-year term back on Tuesday or something IIRC. Doesn't take a genius to guess $8 million a year and look like an "insider."

Warriors met with Durant on Friday, July 1st, so it took 3 or 4 days to resolve.
This is a saga

JT signs in Toronto and DW announced extensions to couture Hertl and Thornton and says that’s why he cleared cap space.

No way TOR. can climb that high with Marner, Nylander, and Matthews needing extensions. I don’t really believe Pagnotta here though

Wouldn’t have been illegal to offer him specific terms before 30 minutes from now? Not sure I buy that info.
Wonder if he’s waiting to see the official specific offers at 12est.

I was confused for a second, I was wondering “how could Thornton sign both in Toronto and here?”
You can talk specific numbers. Just can't make it official.

Yeah, this is easily the most tight lipped UFA situation I can ever recall.

I don’t like that we had to offer more. Sounds like he told DW that he was thinking of signing elsewhere so DW made a last ditched bid to change his mind. Of course that is if the report is legit.

I mean, DW is usually good at keeping things under wrap. The optimist in me says that it means he's going to SJ, but the realist says it would be hard to turn down an offer to play with your hometown team you grew up rooting for.

Honestly, i'm hoping this is over quicker rather than later. It's been fun and all, but 72 pages in, my heart is ready for the truth.
