F*** your ice cream!
This is the kind of stuff the Mayor nails. Injuries too.
He should avoid trade rumors altogether

He technically was correct, but lol

I would have bet a million bucks it was under 5 million a year and have been just as right haha. 
Now I feel the contract is a bit light for Portillo but I will give Blake credit as that is a good team contract.

Not sure where he pulled that number from, his speculative stuff is all over the place, but credit to him for being the only person who covers this team to scoop the news of Portillo signing a 3-year deal.

Quite. He was ahead of everyone. So the source got the AAv wrong (didn’t have specifics or it was a miscommunication), which doesn’t feel much like fail.
On a side note I’m now done with X (again), as it seems like my account which I recently recreated has been deleted. POS.

If I may...
It's a lot easier to get a story right when the details of the story are already decided and you're just beating the public announcement.
It's much harder to predict something that hasn't actually happened yet.
Telling you when a building will open, when a number will change or that a contract signing will be announced within 24 hours isn't really "nailing" anything. It's having been told something that's already been decided.
Predicting that a trade will happen 5 months from now or that a player will develop into a star or wear a letter is.... much harder.
The key is modulating your tone so that people know the difference between your predictions and don't alter their expectations for everything you say.

Why does an AHL goalie RFA need to have his deal "scooped" anyway?
What's the competition here? It's minor news, just get it right.

Wow jumped on today to what's going on and my goodness all of this about the Mayor. I read or listen to him like alot others, just like I do with all the other people who cover the Kings, i just find it better to listen and enjoy and take things with a grain of salt and know who's saying it.
We all know that all of them come at it differently, some have agendas, some have close ties with the team, some work for the team.
I for one am glad we have different avenues to listen and read about our favorite team.
I think we can all read through the bs or the ego some might have and we have the choice to either tune out or turn off those who we don't like or irritate us.
The mayors head must be swelling like a pumpkin with all this talk about him lol

Kings give Mayor a range that they want him to guess high on and then they look much better when real contract comes out lower.
It is also smart for Portillo because he is not guaranteed to make it in the NHL but the contract gives him a 3 year window and he gets 2.35 M.
Some you guys weird.

Back to Portillo. Saw him in person about five times in Ontario including the playoffs and twice in Henderson. Dudes is legit.
Carter might be a close second but Ports has the size of a NHL goalie.

Kuemper is pretty old.
Littler tweaks or worse could happen with him or Rittich, who is younger.
Copley is down in Ontario too, probably.
I guess if Portillo is out playing him. I would hope he gets the call up.
