I have the utmost respect for you, and you stuck with me, giving me a chance. The team Montreal Canadiens is where I want to play...hang on I have to take this.....thanks, and Montreal is where I want to be, but if this is about contracts, and not a trade ha, ha, ...Bob...Bob..?"<br />G: "I'm still here."<br />T: "Ha...hmmm...anyway you should really talk to my agent. Just so we don't get in an adversarial relationship you know...and if the dollars are right...you know I'm sure we can make something happen."<br />G: "Talk to Curran."<br />T: "Yeah."<br />G: "Ok then Tomas."<br />Speed dial engaged.<br />C: "Bob!"<br />G: "Rick."<br />C: "Let me guess..."<br />G: "I want to get this done Rick, and I need to keep it at 4.5 for say...four."<br />C: "Bob, let me tell you first off that that is certainly an attractive offer. Both you and I have a lot of time tied up in this young man and Tomas certainly wants to stay...if the numbers are right."<br />G: "What is your definition of right exactly?"<br />C: "Well Bob, you know if Tomas continues like this then 1 July is a pretty attractive option. I would be hard pressed not to recommend to..."<br />G: "Give me a figure."<br />C: "Well Bob we tossed these numbers about. Crunched them extensively. Now don't be shocked, and imagine how low the actual cap amount is over the 15 year term...."<br />Some minutes later.<br />Speed dial engaged. Speed dial engaged. Speed dial engaged. Check messages.

Great, I knew something would be worked out...so what are we looking at."<br />G: "Well Tomas, I've got some good news and some bad news."<br />T: "Ha, ha, Bob. Can you hang on a few minutes...there's a bunch of reporters at the door."<br />G: "Yeah, sure. I got some other calls to make today and a press conference at 4 anyway." <br />Tomas at door: "Hi guys, s'up?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-81300160753255966102010-01-01T09:33:25.619-11:002010-01-01T09:33:25.619-11:00I keep hoping we'll get some news today.
