I wouldn't give him a dollar more than $4 million a season now and I'm not sure I would offer three years if I was in charge of Toronto.

Okay, now that a hockey item can go through, perhaps you are correct. Thanks

But if we can read about all kinds of murder and mayhem, why can we not read about the trial of this most heinous character?

Anyone have any updates? Thankfully he is still detained per the entry on Aug 15, 2025.
