stone got an 8 year extension with a 9.5 aav. the contracts are really catching up with toews and kane now. the hawks are in pretty good shape i think, but they'd be in fantastic shape if not for the seabrook contract.
i hate him for both and horsefeathering chris taylor, justin turner, and [expletive] hernandez and horsefeathering john starks who cares about starks, the knicks lost. he just made it more fun for us to win. also:
It must be nice not to have any Heywardian albatrosses on the roster, to say nothing of the Darvish or Chatwood versions. it would have sucked to have never gotten lester the point is that ignoring big free agents isn't better than risking bad contracts if the majority of the savings aren't going back into the team. not having heyward wouldn't benefit us if it just meant that the payroll was 18 million less a year or whatever
