For simplicity: Escrow is the amount put into an account that depending on where HRR is get's distributed to the player or the owner.. Basically the Salary cap is supposed to be just above what they expect 50% of HRR is. and the player make the owner "whole" it's so they hit that 50% exactly..

The players had many opportunities to reset the escrow debt to whatever extent, but chose to keep using the escalator. I guess it's a mix of paying it forward so the next round of players needing new contracts didn't get screwed with a flatter ceiling and looking at the top line number rather than the net. Marchand's $6.125 mil cap hit has never been reflective of his actual average salary.

When we win.

Even with our cerebral next level thinking a lot of luck and magic has to come together that they didn’t know would work. They money puck the best options they have and throw them in the mix with our core and hope for the best. As good as this is they could miss two or three years in a row and fire everyone. We chose a way to do things and have faith, just like every other team tries to do. It’s not just the front office, it’s Rod. It’s Slavin, a lot more than we like to admit. It’s Staal being the off ice guy making sure everyone fits in. We have no way to know that it all stays in place when one leg of the foundation leaves. So we just enjoy the fact all the magic worked out at least for one year so far, and that we’ve been competitive for three or four. Hopefully more.


We need another d. We look like a different team without Slavin and that’s not a good look for a contender. Another Hamilton to Pesce level player will go a long way.

Staal off the ice making sure people fits? That seems more like Aho the one starting a hippie commune in his house.....in fact I find it alarming there are no stories about Staal having Jarvis etc over for dinner. Sounds like Staal dropping the ball and others picking up the slack from where I sit.

Even though I’m a Penguins fan I have huge respect for the Canes and how they go about their business, you guys are the Cup favourites right now IMO.
Stop a-jinxin' already.

Pittsburgh Penguins are huge Cup favorites and even the Canadians consider the Pens le Cup favourites. The sentiment has gained widespread traction all over the world. Literally everyone on the planet considers the Pens, not the Canes, the Cup winner.

I don't know the song (Gloria Estefan's early work?) but I can certify this is not grammatical Finnish.

Koko Miami kokkoon works, that means the whole Miami to the midsummer bonfire. I'll save this for the playoffs, in case it's needed, though.
1) You do well know that it is perfectly correct in vernacular. In written Finnish kokoa kokoon koko Miami would be the correct way to gather together the whole of Miami. I will not have the integrity of my posts questioned.

B) In the current geopolitical world situation, we both live way too close for comfort near Russia to wantonly suggest even in jocularity to reduce the whole of Miami to cinders.

Lamborghinis are fast to get from zero to sixty.
Lamborghinis are fast to get your speeding ticket from ten to fifty thousand.

(Progressive fining. The highest was by a Mr Rytsola on that mark, 300k old marks, but it was very reckless driving so he deserved it. There was a town nearby where people could have been on the sidewalk or crossing or otherways getting under the car.)
