2009-2010 Blackhawks Lord Stanley Bonertime Thread

[Gil Gunderson]

Back on topic, I heart the ever-loving shit out of Keith's contract...he makes $8MM for each of the next three years, making him the highest-paid Hawk (although probably only about 5th highest if you figured out dollar-per-minute). After that, when the new CBA is in place, his pay drops each year until the last year, when he's making aroung $1.5MM, which is key - the new CBA will probably have a hard cap to prevent the Hossa-type contracts from becoming the norm.

I would have been happier if Toews had signed for 20 years or something, but there's one simple fact:

The Chicago Blackhawks are going to win the Stanley Cup. Maybe not this year, but definitely within the next 3.

And I am going to enjoy watching the Penguins' fans wonder how they wil be able to compete knowing 25% of their cap space is devoted to 2 players.

Interesting fact about Toews and Kane's contract - they expire the year Campbell comes off the books. Boom.

Uh, you might want to check your math on that.  Campbell's deal expires after the following year.

Ya burnt!!!!

Umm...I think Slaky's right.

The deals don't start till next year and run for 5 years.  Campbell will finish his second year this year, and will have 5 years left.

Unless I'm wrong.  Which may be true.

So, would my pithy retort need to be changed to: Ya burnt? or would Ya burnt!!!! be better?

Campbell's deal is for 8 years.

Is that not on your spreadsheet, Oleg?

I hate the Predators.

Has Martin Erat ever scored a point against a team other than the Hawks?
