@brooklinbruins @FriedgeHNIC Winnipeg knew the risk of signing him to max term with a NMC. They don't get to rewrite the CBA to make it more convenient for themselves. Many reports have said he's open to many destinations so he's trying to work with them to find a solution.

@DenekaJake @brooklinbruins @FriedgeHNIC They can absolutely try rolling with a guy not committed to being there. Probably wont work out well for the team, though.

@RonValerino @FriedgeHNIC You want that level of distraction in a small market with an average team about to lose their best player? The sooner they get their 3-4 assets and move on the better for everyone.

[Maritimer @Maritimer_]

@brooklinbruins @FriedgeHNIC This is all collectively bargained. Would Winnipeg prefer he left as a UFA or get assets back now?

@CanadianPolling @338Canada Biggest sign here isn't the PC falling it's the very loud NDP making absolutely no headway. The Liberals were decimated after the last election and they're still the only real challenger to the PC super majority.

[Maritimer @Maritimer_]

@andystrickland So go collectively bargain for it in the CBA.

@GearshiftMike @markhmasters @BarDown The player yet to play a pro game should always give first right of refusal to the multiple time Cup champion future hall of famer when it comes to any number requests. No rational fan will hate this.

@ToddMPoole @JeffMarek @scottcwheeler @CHLHockey @TheWHL @OHLHockey @QMJHL How poorly did it work for them? McKenna got $700K to play against better players and put up a hobey baker nominee season. He could have made $200/week to score 150 points in the WHL. He picked better competition and will still go #1 on Friday.

[Maritimer @Maritimer_]

@iam_crg @JeffMarek They never had a choice before. Now the NCAA is paying them 6 figures to play against older and better competition.

@andystrickland 45-55 point top 4 guy getting PP1 QB minutes for the next 4-5 years. Anything 60 points above and the cap hit is a steal.

[Bryan Hayes @HayesTSN]

Tough morning for the ‘no one wants to play in Toronto’ crowd.

[Maritimer @Maritimer_]

@squirtdemon9 @crocodilius @TSN_Sports Or he's the PP QB with a heavy shot they've never had in the Matthews era and will be a consistent 60 point guy for 3-4 seasons before a drop off.

You cry all summer. I'll let them play some games first.

[Maritimer @Maritimer_]

@crocodilius @TSN_Sports A hometown 70 point rhd makes no sense to which NHL team? Ill wait…

[Maritimer @Maritimer_]

@crocodilius @TSN_Sports You thought $30 million in cap space was not there to sign UFA’s wiith?

[Maritimer @Maritimer_]

@Andrew__Butts @SportsnetSpec So contracts should not be guaranteed and teams should always be able to walk away with no commitment.

You cant force Vegas to pay him after hes fired and not let them determine where he goes while they are paying him.

@RedHatNoShirt @mattdagley @JohnSiteman @barbinpei Toronto is a huge city with CFL being the 6th, 7th, 8th option for entertainment.

They also have Rogers Center full for 81 Jays games and so many concerts that they built a temp stadium.

Halifax and the entire region is missing major events by not having a stadium.

[Maritimer @Maritimer_]

@RedHatNoShirt @mattdagley @JohnSiteman @barbinpei Because one of Canada's fastest growing cities is missing out on sporting events like having a CFL team and concerts and other big entertainment shows because they don't have proper infrastructure.
