No word, but I’d imagine soI assume full NMC throughout the entirety of the contract?
The Zibanejad acquisition in 2016 and the Zibanejad extension in 2021 could be considered the two bookends of the rebuild.
I’m glad he didn’t try to take a hardline and over play his hand. I think having his bro for an agent actually helped us a bit in this instance. He wants to see his brother paid for sure, but he also wants him to be happy.Mika's brother did a good job.
Would have never happened like that Bern. Your asking the agent/ player to give up too much financial security.THIS is why my preference was to overpay in salary short term and avoid long term commitment, which if he's still kicking it 33-ish, we could have gone year to year.
$ is not everything. It is more to some, less to others.
We know know Zib was willing to take less if we gave him max term, and he didn't give us a choice b'c at 8-8.5, it pays to keep not trade him as rental.
Yep. And it’s a beautiful thing until, uh, it isn’t.This line of thinking is literally how the entire world is ran, company/government wise.
Couldn’t agree more. Time to trade strength for weakness. A young ELC D for a young ELC C. A young guy who can become the number 2 guy behind Mika.In my 18 years using this board, I've learned a lot of things-- most important ones about myself. But the one thing I know is I smell a trade coming.
