2017 NHL Off Season
Impossible to say right now, this next season will reveal more. But I'd expect that 8 years at 10M/year is not out of the question if he is looking like a 40 goal/80 point kind of guy. Ehlers, Lowry, Trouba, Morrissey and Armia are all going to be RFAs after this season. And Laine the year after that. Lots of money to be paid out. The seven-year rebuild is going to start looking pretty hollow if we can't afford to keep the guys we've developed.

The unpleasant truths guy should take the hint and start a more profitable business.

Covfefe, ketchup on steak, two scoops of ice cream. More liberals looking for something where there is nothing.

2017 NHL Off Season
Definitely more reasonable than the 13.25M that was originally being tossed around. It's obviously a high salary but he is the best player in the league and should be paid as such.

Looking Ahead: Winnipeg Vs Calgary
People are happy to write off our offensive output because it was Sask, so yeah that seems fair.

PM Trudeau is more interested in how the outside world views him than he is in the well-being of Canadian citizens. He's made this abundantly clear.

What if you're down by a touchdown and you are driving the field trying to match and Deon Beasley gets a pick-6?

2017 NHL Off Season
I'm sure he's being truthful about Scheifele and Wheeler but it's tough to take these articles seriously... I'm sure he took the biggest salary and term that was being offered to him and that's why he's here.

Golfing in Manitoba
Favourite course in the province is Clear Lake. They keep it in excellent shape and it has every amenity you could hope for. Part of it comes right down next to the lake. Total beauty. Falcon Lake used to my favourite before I golfed Clear Lake. Another beautiful course that's always well-maintained. Hecla is awesome, of course. A bit of a hassle to get there but it's usually not busy for that reason. Gorgeous. Honourable mentions to: Teulon, Pinawa, Granite Hills. Links at the Lake by Gimli won't knock your socks off but it's a decent course as well.

Maybe you guys should get your information from articles that aren't five years old, for starters. The Germans are well aware of what gold is in the U.S. and released detailed information about it in 2013. Furthermore they began repatriation of their gold in 2016 and for the first time have more of their gold held in Frankfurt than in New York. There are good reasons to not want ALL their gold within their borders. And when they do want some of their gold back, it's not like driving to your buddy's house and putting his couch in the back of your truck.

Reassessing Chris Jones' Riders
Carmichael played SAM all through camp and didn't get to practice at HB until Leggett was healthy. He's going to be better next game.

Bombers vs Riders GDT
Really? The hold looked perfect to me. Gets it down, turns it, and get his hands out of the way in time for the kick.

Wrestling
Just watching Smackdown and they had a rap battle between The New Day and the Usos. I was expecting it to be totally lame and cringey but they stole the show. The Usos called out Big E's big boobs, Kofi Kingston for being a fake Jamaican, and even Xavier Woods' video with Paige! Xavier Woods came back saying the Usos were only relevant because his wife is on Total Divas. The New Day were judged the winners because the Usos attacked them which was not allowed. But the Usos crushed it and everyone knew who really won. Crowd went nuts when the Woods/Paige video was referenced. Great segment.

Reassessing Chris Jones' Riders
Sounds like he's still starting at HB in practice. I think they give him a chance and honestly I didn't think he was that bad. They'll try to get him a little more help from Loffler and Leggett.

Good athlete but has trouble getting after the QB consistently. At least in CJ's system.

Oddly enough, Great American Bash 2007 was running nonstop on WWE network this weekend, where John Cena defended his title against, you guessed it, Bobby Lashley.

What don't you understand about "did the Riders activated" ?

Bombers vs Riders GDT
Well 8 FGs is 24 points. Even if you only tack on one TD that's still 31 points and a pretty good offensive output.

Zver was never on the PR, he declined it. Little different from poaching someone off the PR as BC never had the chance to activate him.

2017 NHL Off Season
First overall in 2012, by 2017 can't even get a million dollar contract. I really thought we were done with the days of first overall busts.
