You can see the flags and they are finishing the painting.

Only in Toronto.

That's pretty cool...I like the old center ice logo they had at the Gardens with just the small leaf over the center dot.

[Shep]

That's pretty amazing.

Slava Kozlov has not yet made a decision as to which KHL club he will sign with. But it appears he'll def play in the KHL.

Per the SPNET ticker:

Report: Ducks agree to terms with RW Bobby Ryan on a 5 year/27.5M contract extenstion

McKenzie and Ryan's agent are saying no deal is currently in place. So nothings final. Also its unlikely he gets paid more than Getzlaf, but who knows.

Getzlaf signed when the cap was much lower. In terms of percentage of dollars against the cap, Ryan would be making less than Getz and Perry.

No one counts money like that. You don't take a paycheque home and go as a % of GDP how much did I earn.. How much you pay your stars, in my opinion is important, no way Ryan regardless of what Perry and Getz signed for should get more then them.

It plays a huge role Neel, we see it every year, the pay cheques and average salary handed out increase with each passing year, save for the speed bump during the recession. Furthermore, Ryan has done as much as Getz stastically (also a higher pick), and has certainly done more than Perry. Do I think he should be paid more than them? Probably not, but it's either that or a lesser cap hit on a short team deal.

[inferno31]

Agreed they increase, but you always seem to have a team leader that your salaries stay under. For the ducks they've kept Getz and Perry close. Ryan doesn't deserve more than them, and who cares where he was picked (I wonder if the wings brought that up for Zetterberg or Datsyuk). Again I saw the report he was signed, but his agent said its not finalized as well. I don't think he should be paid that much, but its not a vast overpayment either.

In relation to Perry I think he deserves the money, Getzlaf is a harder sell. In the end it was a neccasarry evil for Anaheim, they couldn't afford to lose the rights to all three players in the same offseason, which is what Ryan's agent was pushing for.
