But Thomas had to be locked up for four years.

So you think it was a total bone headed move?

At the start of the debate over the extension, I’d thought he’d earned it, and I feel that a team starts with good goal tending.

However, Tuukka ready to come up, all this young RFA talent, it’s going to be tough.

Of course, win it all, then we can debate with a big weight off of our chests.

I think giving him 4 years with most the money front-loaded to the first few years might be a mistake. I think Thomas earned this payday but I don’t know if I like the terms.

That’s offensive. How dare you leave out clamcakes.

(Health services are supposedly Rhode Island’s biggest industry, but it’s just a front for the Patriarca family. Shhh.)

Hell Yeah Tuuka,

The deal for timbo works out good acually,

The cost of Tuuka plus Timbo next year = this year Timbo+manny

With the money front loaded, when Tuuka really starts taking over the reins Timbo will be being paid decently for a solid backup.

I think it will work out fine
