Rookie camp schedule is out

Hamilton putting him in the $8M range.

I think it will be more. $6.5 - 7+, but it will depend on term. If you look at similar defencemen who signed for 6 year deals after their ELC the same year that Trouba did his 2 year @ $3M bridge deal: Lindholm 6 years @ $5M Ristolainen 6 years @ $5.4M Jones 6 years @ $5.4M 4 years @ $6.5M would bring him about "even" in total dollars had he signed a similar deal to those guys. So I think that is the minimum. If you want to sign him for more term, price will go up. Trouba's points totals against those guys was down last year, but he was hurt a bunch. All top pairing guys on their team. Then again Chevy pulled off some magic signing Scheifele and Ehlers to the contracts they are on, so if he can get Trouba long term @ $6M, I would be ecstatic.

Will still come down to a huge pay day I think.

Why wouldn’t they play in IGF when the Bombers will own the team.

Not a random nest item. There is a thread for it.

Lets get this thread back to Random News Items. @Atomic , @The Unknown Poster please take the sub-discussion to PMs.

I think it happens more often than that. Right off the top of my head, Okpalaugo signed with the Bombers after his NFL stint.

The signing bonus is put in to protect players from being brought into training camp as competition or a camp arm only. It is a commitment from the club to the player that we want you on the team and here is salary up front to prove that. Players complaining about being cut prior to being paid a bonus should ask if they prefer no bonus and get cut later in the season with no chance to sign with another team. The only way around that is guaranteed contracts. Don't like what Durant did here and don't like how he is handling this on Twitter now. Really makes me wonder if this wasn't his plan all along.

Oh thats crappy. The site got imported to a new database and it looks like the forums ids were changed. You will have to go back to the base URL (www.morningbigblue.com ) and navigate to the forums and re-bookmark them.

Do you remember what your old bookmark was?

There was a slight change to the site URL last night. Redirects should have brought you to the new site, but if you are having problems, the new URL is https://www.morningbigblue.com
