It's front loaded and uses a lot of signing bonus.

Not too front loaded. 10m/yr total for first 4 yrs, signing bonus is incl w/ cap hit.

Fair contract overall, but it's no steal IMO. He's basically getting paid the same actual dollars as Crosby starting next year for the following 4 years

I see what you mean. They will have to move him later on like Datsyuk / Bolland contract but it'll be for a price.

San Jose's trying to get a cup before Thornton retires and Burns will give them several solid years. They'll pay the price over the last few years of the contract, but that's the cost of business.

According to TSN, the team name "Knights" was trademarked by the London Knights.

Vegas is going to be a terrible market for any pro sports team except for maybe the NFL. Football would work because they play fewer games and majority of them are on a Sunday.

The announcement video on NHL Live was sooooooooo bush league, ghetto, cringe-worthy, hard to watch, lame, disorganized.... I could go on forever. It was pretty bad.

Any of you remember when the Canucks announced its hockey stick in rink logo? I do. It was hilarious. People were like WTF? Then the skate, and my all time favourite, the flying "V".

All looked like ass at the time, but became favourites over the years.


Like any team, the logo will evolve.

Vegas is going to work since all the hotels will want a piece of the action, they already have 16,000 season tickets sold which is beyond impressive.

I'd actually be down to watch a game if I'm down there even if it's not against the Canucks

Is the Arena connected to the Casinos? Or is it a separate building altogether?

The rink is on the other side of the street from MGM Grand.
Are you listening to Pratt and Bro Jake again?

The rink is behind New York New York.
*edit*
Ok fine, you have to walk through New York New York to get to the rink.

but there is no public access or drop offs so you have to go through the Casino in order to get to the actual rink and MGM owns it.
