Is it? I don’t know his details or that of others. I know he wants to perform a non-routine surgery which suggests the situation is bad.

Because you are using one specific outcome of a known past versus an unknown outcome in the future? 🤦🏻

When thoughtful people put together a plan, you just don’t look at the best case scenario and say that’s our direction. People do risk analysis. They ask “what if”. The best case scenario for the tank was to acquire Jack Eichel and use the remaining assets to build a contender. That implies a better team drafting in the late first round. but when sitting down in devising a plan, what was the “what if“ if I contender failed to materialize? One logical outcome is that we continue to draft high choices. i.e. We just continue to acquire more talent. Dylan Cozens is as much a product of the tank as Sam and Jack. So is Casey, so is Rasmus, so is Quinn. You can extend this to those high second rounders too. Just because option one didn’t pan out, doesn’t mean that option two still isn’t in progress.

Really? Because your chances of getting an asymptotically better centerpiece is better at number one or number two than at number 13 or 14… weak sauce.

Again with the hand ringing about trading 2018 Jack Eichel and not the summer of 2021 Jack Eichel. If you all bought a crystal ball from the sharper image, give us the Deets.

Well I’m certain will be coming to DC sometime in the near future. Let me know if you wanna join us when they come this way. We don’t miss any shows that we can get to.

The ticket was $120 with all ticketslave fees. But if that is out of budget for someone just let me know.

Spend the day in New York City, eat dinner, you split for the show, the family does something else that evening and then you can either head home after the show or head back Monday morning. I’m taking Amtrak back home at 3 AM. Lol. They are definitely a bucket list band. I consider their Wembley show on DVD to be one of the best concerts I’ve seen recorded.

Cmon. Road trip. The foos put on an amazing show.

Me, a guy from Two Bills Drive, and his son are going. Our fourth had to back out. Is anyone up for a kick ass concert?

Jack Eichel was not in the first round of the playoffs, nor was he in the second round. just saying…

Any romcom made in the last 20 years should’ve told you this.

Rumor has it you are cruel to animals. So you’re a joke.

Never heard of it and didn’t bother to look it up. I think he’s talking to the wrong demographics for this. Lol

Imagine being able to store every day dishes on any shelf in the kitchen?

Eichel for Reichel. Cmon. It’s destiny.

The Jets are awful. Other than their keeper, I think we’re a better team.

You can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets filled first. What do you want doesn’t matter if it’s not available.

I don’t think every draft class is like that. The best in this class doesn’t mean it’s the same as any other class.

I don’t find those scenarios to be equal. I don’t expect any organization to stand in front of a microphone and think out loud. Your GM is your GM until he is not. It’s binary. I expect nothing less from any team. I have a hard time fitting this scenario into that paradigm.

Fair enough. I would probably apply occam‘s razor here. I believe the guy is injured and I believe there is a disagreement how it should be addressed as reported. So, regardless of any dissatisfaction, I think it’s the primary driver.

It’s a closely guarded secret isn’t it? All I can say is that contemplation of that surgery is a strong indication of how serious it is. I had planned to get the same surgery because I had lost 40% of the strength in my left arm and it was numb 24/7. I was afraid of losing its use. When the numbness went away I vanquished the thought of that surgery.

Why does the injury concern have to be the primary one? Los Angeles or New York or Carolina doesn’t really care why Adams wants to move Jack. Their only concern is his ability to play up to a $10 million a year contract.
