And mortgage interest rates?
Good for Luka. He seems like a good enough player on a team that desperately needs his level of talents, so he was able to parlay that into a nice payday.
May Anze Kopitar, fellow Slovenian, still feel that $10 million per year from the LA Kings is good enough.

I blew my $207 on Ruben Amaro Jr. rookie cards.
If you know anybody who wants a Ruben Amaro Jr. rookie card ...

I overheard someone say after the Olympics that Luka is a long overdue Slovenian feelgood story.
I was a bit surprised to hear that. I thought there was a feelgood story that originated in Slovenia as far back as 1998.

I was signed to a $207 supermax rookie extension back in the late 1970's.
That money's long gone now. Blew it all on gas and groceries.
