I'm gonna give you a helpful life tip here. Insisting on having the last word when you have nothing left of value to say doesn't mean you win the argument.
You got an attitude and wanted a source. I reciprocated your attitude and told you to look it up. I then educated you on what the BoG has said about league revenue now and going forward. Once the BoG's revenue numbers were brought and you realized your challenge was baseless you've just been babbling on about random shit since.

Probably best to take the L and give it up, and get back on topic.No, I said you can't figure out what you're arguing.
Tell me again about how I lied when I've told you multiple times what the article says about league revenue and you refuse to look it up.
Feel free to point out the L, or mind your business.
As a reminder, this entire discussion is about how Dahlin's contract will progress based on cap inflation. It's very much relevant to the topic of Dahlin's contract. Try again.

Lol, says the poster who says google says cap will be 100 million, when it doesn’t.
Anybody who thinks Dahlin should have taken less than 10, either doesn’t realize how good he is, or doesn’t understand what contracts are going to look like moving forward.
And it has been repeated ad nauseam, but his deal isn’t comparable to Makar at all. This is essentially a UFA contract for Dahlin, while Makar took a longer contract instead of a bridge.
If anything, Makar made the choice to maximize his earnings because his deal takes him right to UFA where he can walk.

A league that historically has increased revenues by $200M+ every year, and projects to increase revenue by $200M in the upcoming season, probably wont increase revenue by $200M over the following four seasons. (Let me help you, that's $50M per season) You're right.
23 year old former 1 overall pick defenseman with good size coming off 73 point season and on upward trajectory? The only ballgame is term. You lock him up for 8 years, he can basically name the AAV.
This is a huge win for Buffalo

Why are you so mad? I just asked for source. You then lied about what you read and told me to Google something that doesn't exist, just to turn around and say it was just your take. Why not just say it was just your take in the first place.
Now you are mad at me for no reason at all. I'm just finding it interesting that even when I explain I was just looking for a source you're still going nuts. It's not a healthy way to live bud. Hope you get better.

Good points. I think it’s a very good move for the Sabres. You have him for basically his entire prime and you have cost certainty. What a great young core.
As a Canucks fan there’s only maybe 8 or 10 young guys I’d trade Hughes or Pettersson for and Dahlin is one of them. I hope that this kinda sets the ballpark for what Petey can command for a new deal, as I feel their league wide impact and value is similar despite playing different positions.
Good job by our expansion cousins. Kevyn Adams is doing a bang up job there.
The article about the BoG's revenue reports has been cited multiple times. You're free to look it up.
Also, I can assure you that I'm not mad, but it's funny that you seem to see "No reason" that somebody could be mad considering you've called me a liar twice now even though I've told you the article regarding the BoG's report very much does exist. It was literally on the NHL's front page five days ago.
I'm not lying. You're just too damn lazy to look it up, and it doesn't suit your narrative.
If that was the case, i think edmonton should have won multiple cups already with such underpaid stars.
But it's funny you know, Eichel came last spring the first player ever eith 10+M caphit to win a cup. With exactly 10M. Somehow it just doesn't seem to convert to success to have these top stars with even these salary levels. Someone could make some conclusions, but.....let's not let the facts ruin the nice thought here.
Thats super bud. You made a prediction. Good to know. Thanks for the opinion. What are you looking for out of this?The article about the BoG's revenue reports has been cited multiple times. You're free to look it up.

Do you understand how the cap is calculated? You do realize the current cap is well under what revenues dictate it actually should be, right?
Also, I accept your apology for falsely claiming I lied. Twice.

Obviously you don’t by the posts above, didn’t include what mouser told you, didn’t allow for the inflator.
You thought it was revenue divided by 64.
1. In that thread, I said from the start there are other factors that have a minor influence on the cap. But 50% revenue divided by the teams is a solid ballpark number.
2. All three seasons prior to the freeze dictate that the cap was actually higher than 50% revenue divided by the teams, so if anything I'm underestimating.
3. Even if you factor in the $150M - $250M cost that Mouser brought up, historical increases put league revenue around the $7B mark in 5 years.
Keep trying.

Look it would be just easier if you admitted you don’t understand the cap calculation.
Ignored mouser, ignored the inflator in previous years
here’s a couple more
Cap is now based on the previous 2 seasons revenues,not 1, another factor.
And no it’s not divided by 64, the calculation gets you to the midpoint (100%)
Minimum cap is set at 85%
Maximum cap (83.5) is set to 115%. ( that’s why number was higher)
Plus include the other factors already mentioned in getting to the midpoint calculation, plus a few others, Sorry dude, give it up.

Will be interesting to see if they utilize their picks/prospects to bring in NHL players and supplement their core. Don't really need all of Savoie/Kulich/Ostlund when you have Thompson and Cozens locked in for a while.

Makes the Cale Makar contract look like a bargain

Probably somewhere between Sanderson's $8M and Dahlin's $11M.
$8.5M to $9M seems about right.
