Yup.

I'm just going to quote my post from another thread:

That's not the point of the thread.

Okay, but he's not small. If he fills out he's Sidney Crosby size. No one calls Sid small.

What? Kid is 6' and 190 lbs and just turned 20. He's not small at all.

Guhle never looked as good in NHL action as this kid has...

A look at hockey reference and Sean Tierny's "controlling the blue line" shows some good stuff. I don't know where to find those other charts that are super popular right now.

All of his advanced stats for his NHL time last year look really good... like...better than everyone on the Sabres except Dahlin...

Okay, so maybe this is more interesting that I initially thought. I couldn't imagine anything good coming back for Nylander in a trade, but...

okay

I'm not surprised that Risto and John Scott were in to locker room shenanigans

One of these years I'm going to get on the ice for this thing!

Sure it was. But I think people were willing to overlook it because the General Lee is cool as hell and the show itself is a ton of fun to watch. Plus, African Americans weren't much of a target audience for TV producers so I doubt anyone cared about their opinions much. They tried to acknowledge it in that 2005 movie which sucked outside of Jessica Simpson as eye candy. https://uproxx.com/hitfix/the-screenwriter-of-the-dukes-of-hazzard-movie-on-how-he-tackled-the-confederate-flag-problem/ It's honestly too bad the star car of Dukes of Hazzard was the General Lee, because unfortunately the passage of time has burdened it with something that makes enjoying it a little difficult. Ten years ago I might have made an argument in favor of leaving the General alone, but I couldn't do that now. I think the show, historically, has probably had a diverse fan base which has kept it popular. I doubt that will be the case going forward. There are plenty of hero cars to enjoy if you're a motorhead, and a lot of them are in better movies and tv shows to boot. It is what it is.

1990 Caprice Classic I think I've mentioned previously that I have the VIN tattooed on my arm.

Welp, second line LW. I'm not a big fan but at least it's a short deal.

I bet it's Ottawa.

According to Twitter fines in Finland are levied according to income. That's brilliant.

The one time Risto tries to get out of the zone quickly

They straight up stole $2.5 million from the National Parks Service to pay for this nonsense. Trump should have had to pay for this parade from his own pocket.

I'm just trying not to be super mean!

I love when people couch their bad takes with this one. It's got nothing to do with being old school. You're just a dork.

lol dude has been playing the long game. He tweeted all through the 2018-19 season about actual (and mundane) Habs stuff.

Yup. Nothing to see here.

That's the big question mark in all this. There are schools of thought that say Risto is better than all these charts and graphs indicate. And there are GMs out there that probably abide by that school of thought.

You got it. It's not a cap thing so much as a roster space thing. I would hope that Botterill would execute a Risto trade before a Gardiner signing was announced. But these things ain't easy. Ideally you'd want to move him first. But timing is tough. I guess we'll see when the dust settles.
