2.8 x 2 is solid but I thought they had 0 cap space?

Sunny is going to start the season on the LTIR.

 

[Osakahaus]

Glad to see him getting paid.

 

[Three On Zero]

Don't know much about him, but that's an epic name.

 

[Spektre]

Don't know much about him, but that's an epic name.

It gets better. His on ice name is Robert THE Thomas

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think he's worth $4.5M AAV. He'll get more value from another team if it wasn't the Blues.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

For 2 years this seems like a bit too much but not unreasonable. I was thinking more along the lines of 2.3-2.5M, like the Chytil and Dube deals

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Robert the Thomas

 

[Xerloris]

It gets better. His on ice name is Robert THE Thomas

Which is absolutely dumb because it should just be "matchbox".

 

[Gurglesons]

Man, that’s a hot one.

 

[Saucechucker99]

This seems like a great deal for the Blues.

 

[snipes]

Solid deal

 

[Jannik Hansen]

I think last year was an anomaly due to all the injuries. Thomas is very talented and has potential to be a very good top six player.

Great name.
Any relation to Rob Thomas, lead singer for Matchbox Twenty?

 

[izzy]

Great name.
Any relation to Rob Thomas, lead singer for Matchbox Twenty?

[Theodore450]

He’s better than kk in my opinion

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

Great name.

Similar situation to randy marsh and lorde.

 

[DieselBoy]

Similar situation to randy marsh and lorde.

Wait, is there any relation to Randy Marsh from South Park and Lorde the singer?

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Wait, is there any relation to Randy Marsh from South Park and Lorde the singer?

Yaa ya feelin good on Wednesdaaay

 

[Freaky Styley]

breakout year upcoming for this guy. Always saw him as a Scheifle-lite. I think he's got 70+pt potential

 

[BlueDream]

For 2 years this seems like a bit too much but not unreasonable. I was thinking more along the lines of 2.3-2.5M, like the Chytil and Dube deals

He’s a much better player than both those guys at this point. He was pacing for over 50 points in 2020 before the Covid shutdown as a 20-year old.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Wait, is there any relation to Randy Marsh from South Park and Lorde the singer?

I think he means that Randy Marsh is Lorde's real name. Just like Rob Thomas is Robert Thomas' real name.

Yaa ya feelin good on Wednesdaaay

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

At this point? He definitely didn't prove that in the most recent season. All 3 players are still quite young, to say one is far superior to the other while the others outperformed him doesn't really make any sense.

I am not saying the contract is bad, and I do like Thomas as a young player with potential. But you are acting like he is currently far superior when he is not
