For the most part, you haven't done jack shit in the NHL yet. you dumbass. You're brother is clearly a dope addict to be giving you that advice.
Desperation from this team. Don't like it. He hasn't earned that yet. Looks like they will be buying out Staal at the end of this year if they can find a way to deal him.
I would have been very happy w 4.8 x 5. It's a slight overpay but guys like Tatar set the market. At least they got him locked up. I think he can be a 70 point guy in the next 2 years.
I don't know, for 5-years this is in the range. If it was 3 or 4 years I'd feel differently, but for 5 at 24 years old this seems reasonable. Maybe 200-300 K too much, but not going to get worked up over that amount.
