Confirmed with Link: Svechnikov signed $7.75M aav, 8yrs

[DaveG]

I don’t disagree but you have an interesting interpretation of “buying low”. We didn’t get any discounts here. He just didn’t sign for what some random Russian dude made up and tweeted.

To be fair it was someone far less reliable than a random Russian dude: it was Eklund that made up the number.

The Russian was the guy that just said 8 year deal.

 

[CanadienShark]

Very fair. Guy is a stud.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Hi everyone,

Congratulations on the re-signing/extension! Love the AAV!

Celebration memes

Hope you’re all doing well and enjoying the summer with your families.

Cheers,

Close, but Spock here gets the trip to the wheel spin.

well shit. Good for him.

Do people still read Eklund? I haven't been to that site in eons

Ottawa should be loving this contract while dealing with Brady Tkachuk

Love it, being lectured by someone from New Bern on what the Raleigh demographic is really like

I’m from new Bern! I’ll fight that person in a bojangles parking lot if you want

They're a Caps fan, so they really aren't worth your time.

 

[HisIceness]

The amazing thing is that even this year it's a good deal. Once the new TV money starts kicking in and revenues normalize? This has the potential to be absolutely ridiculous in only 2-3 seasons.

Shit I didn't even think about that. Should give us some leeway with Necas and perhaps eventually someone like Drury.

Love it, being lectured by someone from New Bern on what the Raleigh demographic is really like

It amazes me the years I've been following this team and reading comments about them, just how wrong many opposing fans are about the area. "They only like NASCAR" "The city is too boring no one wants to live there" "LOL Penguins fans overtook the arena time to relocate" "They don’t understand the game they only understand college football because it's the South".

Probably my favorite was the Bryan Bickell thread on the main boards here about his diagnosis. Some dumbass said he wouldn't get the proper treatment in Raleigh because the hospitals aren't good enough

I hope Dundon is able to still feed his family

My cable guy said his brothers cousins friend saw him shopping at Wegmans yesterday. Said he was carrying a large coupon book. At the checkout he was negotiating the price of everything. The store has banned him and sent out a community post to the competiting stores not to do business with Mr Dundon. He's going to have to do his shopping at Farmer Browns roadside produce stand

 

[CandyCanes]

This kid has such a good heart. Can’t help but love him. Glad I invested in his jersey his rookie season.

 

[CandyCanes]

If Necas says I’ll take the same deal as Svech this off-season, would you take it?

 

[MinJaBen]

Easy yes.

The other $37 he will blow on beer.

 

[bleedgreen]

Only 37 bucks for beer? So cheap, of course he plays for TD.

Should make his nickname “T-rex” since he can’t reach his wallet.

Oh man now I’m really mad

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Well, it's mainly the we suck tax that applies to the Senators. Maybe Tkachuk is more lenient with them as a homegrown guy, though. Or maybe he'll ask and get the Brinks truck hauled to him like Werenski did.

 

[To Be Determined]

i'd give both of them matching 8x8 extensions right now. i think both svetch and necas will live up to or exceed that. and in the latter half, those deals would be pretty damn good.

well, unless they got injured. or end up sucking. but i think they're as good a bet as you'll see.

i don't know if it will show, but i posted that on 30Jul.

dangit, hit post too soon. meant to include what it was a response to:

I saw Tom Dundon at a Harris Teeter in Wake Forest yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

 

[To Be Determined]

i don't know what it is about that one, but i read every word, every time someone uses it.

 

[Unsustainable]

Well, at least he didn’t sign with Montreal.

I wasn't around for the start of this. I only saw it when someone used it for Skinner, now Dundon. What's the origin?
