thecanuckway.comWhat a stupid article. He doesn’t wanna two way deal because he’d be paid peanuts in the likely event he’s sent down. This guy’s talking about waivers? If you think (which I don’t/never have since the trade) he’s worth it, take a gamble. If we’re an organization that’s gonna nickel and dime guys on a one year deal we’re fucked. You sign him to a two way deal, best case (unlikely) he does well, he’s not resigning here.

When the first sentence uses the term ‘agreeance’, I’m not confident about the rest of article.

agreeance is an actual word though. i haven’t even opened the article but i bet it starts with something like “… we are all in agreeance …”

Sure, an archaic and rarely used word. A writer should prefer "agreement" in 99% of cases.
EDIT: Instead of downvoting, how about somebody makes the case for why "agreeance" is the right word choice here? Just because a word exists doesn't mean it's the correct word to use, forsooth.

They are probably down voting because you are being a grammar nazi over something really dumb and trivial that's not even technically incorrect. Haha learn to pick your battles mate.

This such a stupid hill to choose and die on lmao. “....in agreeance” is a fairly common phrase

I think diction matters and that the quality of the writing reflects the quality of the thinking.
Speaking of which, "in agreeance" is demonstrably not a fairly common phrase. In Google, the phrase gets you just over 100K results, while "in agreement" gets you more than 41 million. "Yeet" gets you 16 million, for a sense of what we might think of as common.
As I showed, it's an archaic and very uncommon term whose hay day was about 1845.

General Grievous is in agreeance with the quorum of this hallowed sub reddit.

Thanks for introducing me to Ngram Viewer. Lots of fun.
Quick off topic question... Anyone know what happened in 1500s that caused a huge spike in "terrorist"?

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

It's definitely off-season quality

Not disagreeing with you, but you know what's a common misspelling now? Your instead of you're. I wonder if in 20 years people will be called out for spelling you are as you're, instead of your, or does it just apply to specific words, and not spelling.

this article is garbage.
this is how I interpretted it.
Canucks havent signed goldobin
i think theyre going to sign him to a contract like leivos
oh wait no i think theyre going to sign him for even less
this isnt because of waivers
if you think this is because of waivers it isnt
heres why its not because of waivers
so to reitterate its NOT because of waiver eligibility
its so that they can send him down through waivers, and not pay him what he deserves because i dont like him.
this is why i think he should be signed to a two way contract
none of this is factual and purely just what i thi k of goldobin and my edittor told me i need to puke out 3 more stories before the season starts, and if I lose this job i'm getting kicked out of my moms house.

We should sign all of our players to two-way deals so that they don’t have to pass through waivers
If only that were true, but EA lied to us.
Just shows how little EA knows about the NHL.
Not sure what the last version of NHL you guys have played is but as far as 18&19 go, 2-way contracts still apply to the cap only, I.e. 2-Way contracts still require waivers if they're above the minimum GP threshold.
edit: NHL, not MHL
I'm wringing the last drops out of "NHL Legacy" on my original, 1st edition fat PS3, which sounds like a fighter jet warming up for take-off when in use.
Yeah, waivers have been independent of the contract type since NHL 13.
I hadn’t noticed, but what you’re saying is after it being a meme for some six or seven years (or more, I only played from a certain point) they finally fixed it two years ago? If anything that just helps my point. It became the biggest meme regarding the game other than each new game being an $80 glorified roster update, and this was for years without being touched at all, despite all of their other updates and new features- including new NHL rules, game types, and an expanded scouting, skating, etc.
I mean i have goldy on a 2 way contract in nhl 19 and he was very happy. EA doesnt lie
Brilliant! Why has no other team thought of this?
A two-way deal has zero impact on waiver eligibility. All it does is make the cost of parking the player in the minors less.
pretty sure he's just being sarcastic
When the username isn’t kneejerk, it’s hard to tell tbh, lol
whoosh
i disagree
