Love this. If played a full season & scored 20+ goals he would've priced himself into the 4M+ market. Nice to get him at this number. Good age & just entering his peak/prime years.

 

Good signing for both sides.

 

I think his injury probably raised his value more than if he scored 20+ goals.

social media has created an entire culture of whores, and gender doesn't play into it.

Ah, you mean like that they are like the men? 
 

woman makes dirty jokes all the time and the only who doesn’t is the ones that are kept in the closet by parents or the ignorant society they belong to.

 

If you think for a while that ignorant, high on morality regarding sexuality, people has led to Hitler and Trump.

Think again and then you probably understand what is wrong and what is right.

Funny because song 2 was meant to be a satirical spoof of American rock at that time and became their biggest hit. 
Blur was an absolutely massive band in the UK but never got close to the same level here. Amazing that Damon started 2 of the biggest bands in the world and is still relatively unknown.

Yeah apparently they met with the record executives and played that song as almost a joke to kind of mess with them (or something like that) and it became their biggest hit yeah it’s kind of a crazy story actually

I was thinking they would need find a cheap replacement for Joshua and use that extra money for D but now the focus is gonna have to shift to finding a cheap D man that can play top 6.

 

Basically the “next Joshua” is gonna have to be a D man IMO. 🤣

I thought the battles with them and Oasis were pretty funny. Damon went on to eclipse both bands with Gorillaz though.

It was Coachella.

 

This is now the BritPop thread. Sorry to derail further, but this is my jam lol. Anyone into this stuff, should check out Tom Meighan’s (ex Kasabian frontman) first solo album. Killer, and way better than Kasabian’s new stuff. A bit like Damon and Gorillaz. His album is called The Reckoning. Has a new one coming out in July.

 

Alright, back to Daks talk, lol.

Thanks for the heads up Dude… For some reason I thought Alburn put a clue out there that he was going to do a side project called gorillaz based on a Blur song but I got it wrong lol

 

I guess you could say being huge into rock music with all the secret messages from the Beatles  you kind of start looking for clues everywhere for no reason at all…

 

So take me home, don't leave me alone
I'm not that good, but I'm not that bad
No psycho killer, hooligan guerilla”


One day when I was listening to this song I thought oh he’s giving us a clue that he’s going to start a side project called gorillaz

 

lol…

Glad to see Joshua re-signed.

 

I thought he had a good season, well until he broke his hand on some guys head.

 

 

I guess we will see. There are differing opinions, there was a Oilers podcast (i forgot which one since it just popped in my social media feed but I can't find it) that this is a questionable signing paying for a guy who hasn't put a string of good NHL seasons yet.

Well players who has, gets payed. If you want to get bargains you have to take a risk on not-so-proven players. (not saying DJ's contract is a bargain).

The benefit with Joshua is that the organization know him. It's obvious they think he can take another step. For his age, he hasn't played professional hockey for more than 4-5 seasons. I bet (hope) he can develop more 🙂

Texier just signed for 2.1M...

 

Joshua's deal already starting to look like a. Bargain

I can't tell if this is sarcasm? 

 

Texier is 4 years younger, a center, has more NHL games and a better ppg than Joshua.  Joshua's deal looks terrible both in term and $ in comparison.

Where they UFA years they were buying?  If not it is kind of an apples to kumquat comparison.

Wasn’t much more usefull to say about Joshua and yeah ‘90s Brit pop is one of my great loves so why not deflect that way. 
So many great bands that never really made it big over here. 
‘Still trying to find a chance to see Suede.  One of my all time favourites and still touring but I missed their last Toronto show with MSP.

Ok now some guys start complaining about "every" contract?

 

Pathetic 

 

Every deal so far is absolutely fair for what the player has done last season !!!

 

Some guys would overpai for Zadarovs toughness but think the Joshua contract is bad? 

Cmon he plays hard and found his scoring.

Perfect third liner and absolutely ok for this money.

I'm not the one that made the comparison. 

 

Also is "buying UFA years " really relevant to a guy that is 28 and has barely played in the NHL? Buying UFA years is generally relavant to good players who are likely to actually be in the league. Which hasn't been the case with Joshua. 

Fact of the matter is .. 2m for 2 years for a better more productive player, that plays the more valuable position, and is 4 years younger.. in no way makes joshua's inflated contract look like a bargain.. very much the opposite.
