As far as Coughlin goes, I think he needs to shut the heck up sometimes too.  Calling out players publicly is a terrible way to conduct oneself at the highest level of management like he's done.  But behind closed doors?  Ramsey deserved to be undressed for his sideline behavior, and needed to get over it instead of going full selfish.

Considering the contract that Jack signed (I was surprised it was as large as it was as soon as it was reported), I have a hard time believing they didn't make Yan a fair offer.  I hope Yan starts to ball out and earns the dollar amount he was after and then some.  So far it's looking like he may have miscalculated.

If the reports were true back in July the problem with Yannick wasn't the money but the length of the deal. They offered him a short term deal while he was seeking a long term deal. Again, not sure if that's 100% true but it was reported at some point here locally.

Yeah, I never really understood the length of the deal side of things on that front.  They way the team has structured pretty much all of their contracts the past few years, they are able to unload under performing players after 2 years with minimal dead money hits.  Has to be at least a 3 year extension to continue with their current M.O.
