The pizza thread was my favourite. Still another month+ until we have something meaningful to talk about. 😔 It'd be nice to get another fun topic to discuss.

Good for them.. good to be with talent and some winners.

I waffled between him and Doan... I think my Doan is wishful thinking to an extent, but he does have the size to make the difference in the fight... but Benson may be the more likely candidate.

Verbeek seems to play hardball with some young guys. McTavish plays a grittier game than his cast offs Drysdale and Zegras. He is not a little ball of hate but not many are.

Whether there is a progressive or regressive tax system billionaire philanthropy does wonderful deeds that goes beyond what the government can do.

I voted Benson. He already has a defensive game and grit, which many young players have to grow to acquire. His offensive game will take a jump, especially in the playmaking category. He is a dog on a bone that will drag others into the fight.

Didn’t Tage score the championship winning goal in the IHF tournament?

This clip is a good metaphor for the state of affairs of this forsaken organization. You got to laugh at the absurdity of the situation.

Not if you identify as a goose.

If he could take that role and make people question why he isnt that Captain over Dahlin and not Tuch, that would be a great problem to have.

Voted for Norris but feel Tage could make the biggest impact by adding defense and a bit of snarl to his game. Lead by example and others will follow.

If he can pull off both, I think he'd qualify for sainthood.

And the great thing about Benson is that even if these underlying offensive numbers never translate to him being a big point producer, he has so many other positive traits that he is going to be an effective player for a long-time. Someday, it will be a lot of fun to watch him in the playoffs.

Me as well he is one of the people that are more likely to be a solution than contribute to the problem... IMO

We could sure use him to get back to Pre Achilles form and then progress... if he becomes a producer like Peterka with a bit better 2 way game... that would be huge.

I answered Quinn. Could be Norris as well. It needs to be a player that will need to step up his play significantly. I think Quinn is potentially that person.

So, we are in the dog days... nothing going on... so.. if this team were to be turned around, who is your one guy that you think will either inject new life and skill, or show a massive production and leadership leap that propels us... So I didnt include established core guys Tuch, Thompson, Dahlin, Power, Byram etc... but really a newer person with maybe major upside... that said there is an "other" category if you feel one of the core players will up their game significantly and ride in on a white horse and save us... interested in your thoughts.

Good news. But how about Instead of depending upon billionaire philanthropy, we go back to a progressive tax like we used to.

You really can't calculate the generational good in helping kids and families with his generous charitable contribution. People with great wealth can spend their money the way they want. That's their prerogative. He's taken a portion of his wealth and put it to good use. It's a testament to his generosity. He's a self-made man who has given back. Whether he is personally liked or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is that he should be respected for his good deeds.

McTavish is a player I would try to add but I don't understand what Anaheim would want for him. They could take Byram or they could take idk some combo of RHD and other prospects to fill out their pool. I just don't know how the trade works but I would be interested in making it work. McTavish for Byram, Rosen, and a sweetener? I doubt they want Samuelsson. Ideally you would probably need to include a RHD even if they have Luneau and Warren. McTavish for Conditional 2026 1st, Östlund, Kleber? Krebs, Östlund, Rosen Kleber? Idk how to make this work or what the value is. It might be McTavish for Helenius, Kleber/Strbak, and something like Krebs or a prospect they like. I would try to figure out the trade because I like McTavish and I am confused why he isn't signed.

This will be the third Children’s hospital he’s funded? I know Rochester and SW Florida already have Golisano’s Children Hospitals.
