Sign POJ to a 2-year deal at about $1.5M per year.

Sign Petts to a 5 or 6 year deal at around $5M per year.

I think they both would get about $1M more in salary but this is probably the smart move.

Sounds about right to me on POJ. Petts I think gets more.

Seeing chatter about Laine going to the Habs....and no, not just from Ek's top story haha

Every reporter on the beat said smith was a problem in the locker room.

Like actively disrupting the team on purpose? I’ve seen a lot of stories that he would rather have stayed with the team he just won the Stanley cup with, which by all accounts is a story that just writes itself as soon as his game struggles. If he is in fact actively disrupting the room where is Sid, Malkin and Letang in all that? It’s their room.

Remind me again why you're banned from Canada? Literally none of the reasons they would ban somebody would be surprising.

Hahaha what?

Look into it. The criteria for being inadmissible to both of our countries is almost identical.

It's a long list though, right? And many of the items on that list Grinder could easily have done.

DUI in the last 10 years.

This Florida pp is pathetic. Reminds me of Pittsburgh.

List for both countries isn't all that long... Criminal reasons, treason reason, health reasons, length of a absense reasons, false identity/docs reasons....if you ask me I think both our borders a are a bit too loose but that's a chat for another time and place.

Yeah that's considered a criminal offense up here...think it might be in states down there as well as I know of people from here with DUIs that can't enter USA. Not that I think you're a criminal at all but I do agree there should be severe consequences for that one.

Yeah like if you crash or something. Not center brake light out leaving the bar after 4 beers. I was going home to drink, like a respectable American.

Perch and Walleye mostly around here. Some small mouth bass. I have an old buddy who runs a fishing charter up here... Given your views on hockey, you guys would have a great time, haha.

But "criminal reasons" is itself a long list of things, that was my point.

His agent should be fired if he lets that happen. I can't think of a worse place for a guy with mental health issues. Ruthless fan base and it is a really easy city to get yourself into trouble.

Oilers aren't going quietly, this is nuts.

It’s getting pretty ridiculous how the league’s manufacturing these PP’s for Mcdavid.

PPs are 4-3 Edmonton through two periods. That's a lot both ways. Cats probably should have just had a penalty for clipping Skinner in his crease.
