FCP Bob 1,312 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Justin Schultz has The Ducks over a barrell. He can become an UFA this Summer if he doesn't sign with them.

dna4ever 2 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 this is a decent deal, right?Never been to a playoff game before and 4 for $87 seems like a fair price? Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 this is a decent deal, right?Never been to a playoff game before and 4 for $87 seems like a fair price?It's kind of tough to compare - you couldn't buy a nose-bleed seat to one Leafs playoff game for that price. You probably could only buy that type of package at that price in 2-3 cities in the league, so yes, I guess that makes it a fair price, or an absolutely fantastic one, depending on how you want to define things.

ajs510 122 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Getting into a single NHL playoff game for $87 a ticket would be a great deal, getting two playoff games *and* two regular season games for $87 sounds almost too good to be true. Where's the offer coming from? Link to post Share on other sites

They're 20th in league attendance, averaging 16,632 for hockey in a building that seats 17,113...that doesn't seem like there would be a concern about selling the games out that would warrant two for one playoff tickets.

I'm starting to wish I lived in Nashville...good seats for a bad game in Buffalo run me $160+, and I know I'm crying about prices to the wrong fanbase because Toronto is probably 2-3 times that.

If you wanted to buy 3 tickets for that game against the Wild it would run you a hundred bucks for three seats (looking at single game prices on the Preds site), this way you pay $250 for three seats and get four games, two of them playoffs.

Mercury69 3 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Don't you worry about Nashville, people. The stick-slapping saviour named Radulov appears set to return to "fulfil" his contract and GM's all over the NHL (OK, not "all over", just the ones Nashville is likely to be fighting with over playoff seeding) are beefing about this loop-hole.

Zach6668 513 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Not really a loophole. Where were these GMs whining when Nashville lost their best young scorer who was already under contract a few years ago? Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I fail to understand why Nashville should be punished because Radulov chose to return to the NHL. Weren't they already punished once by his leaving?Requiring him to pass through waivers would only hurt the Predators. Link to post Share on other sites

It was quite funny to hear GM's crying about it, esp those who have called up drafted players from the juniors to supplement their roster. Link to post Share on other sites

fryer98 30 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Guys without incredibly generous and thoughtful girlfriends.She only bought me the Flyers game for my birthday. I think I've paid for 2 games (CEC opener and when I took a girl I was seeing last year) in the last 10 years or so.It's too bad the economy sucks because my company has some sweet seats until 2001 or so. If we were booming, no doubt we would get tickets again. Link to post Share on other sites
