  1. The expansion draft is happening summer of 2021 and Seattle will play in 2021-22.
  2. How convenient
  3. It actually makes sense for them to move him now since cap space is their immediate need. Might as well get something for him, free up some cap, and let someone else deal with the outcomes of him either declining or getting picked up in the expansion draft for free. They might be selling low now, but they could be selling for even lower if they wait.
  4. The interesting part about Subban is that if he's declining and not worth his contract you can just leave him exposed for the expansion draft.
  5. I'd give Subban a chance if the can get Risto and Bogo out of here. I've always felt PK was overrated but he's still an upgrade and the term that is left isn't really that scary, even if the cap hit is.
  6. Yeah and Charles Manson could sing
  7. On a one year deal? No. They'd have to re-sign him again before the expansion draft.
  8. Yeah 1 mil is hard to beat for a veteran goalie who hasn't totally washed out yet.
  9. I'm surprised they're bringing Miller back. It's must be for dirt cheap.
  10. Excuse me but 2CVs aren't useless. They can drive through a farm field without breaking a basket of eggs! Also,
  11. Fried Bologna and Cigarettes Day.
  12. You're in luck then! The higher trim 6 with the wood interior accents really does it for me. I've heard positive and negative reviews of their non-touchscreen infotainment (it's a little dial on the center console like BMW (?)).
  13. I really like Mazda's Kodo design language but it gets ruined the moment you slap a license plate holder on the front because it invades the grille space. Very annoying for anyone who buys a car like the 6 for how good it looks. I think if I bought one I'd tell the dealer to leave it off and just take my chances with getting a ticket.
  14. I want to believe in a world where Botts somehow manages to clear enough cap space to offer sheet Marner, turning the Toronto media into an inferno of spite.
  15. Oh boy do I have opinions. I'm currently driving a 2014 Impala. I bought it used when I was commuting from Rochester and wanted a comfortable, attractive highway cruiser with a large trunk. Check, check, and check. Unfortunately it's been a real lemon as far as electronics and brake components go. Both rear calipers seized up and destroyed the wheel bearings, the infotainment screen died a month after I bought it (out of warranty of course) and GM doesn't have a test procedure for diagnosing the problem. They want me to just start dumping a thousand dollars at a time to replace things until something fixes it. I've diagnosed the problem myself but the repair people don't have a procedure for confirming my diagnosis so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The taillights leaked water into the trunk like crazy because the seals they use on them are a bad design, so I had to replace those myself (the repair appears to have already been done under the previous owner as a recall item). During the winter my collision warning system went crazy and the blindspot monitoring indicator on my passengers side mirror decided it was going to stay on permanently. I pulled the fuse for that system and have been without it for a while. Fortunately GM is acknowledging this defect (water gets into the control modules in the back bumper and fries them) so I have the parts on order to replace that component for free... It's nearly paid off and I don't really want another car payment, but I can't say it's been a satisfying ownership experience these last 2.5 years. Unfortunately I really don't know what I would want to replace it with. There's not much on the market right now that I like and can afford. Used car prices, frankly, are too high, and I'm not interested spending the money (and committing to) a new car that people are just going to dent, ding and disrespect until I go postal.
  16. Good start here guys. This is a tough one for me because I have a really hard time picking just one car. THERE ARE SO MANY CARS. Ultimately, I'm a land yacht guy. Give me bench seats, over-boosted power steering, and a trunk that can swallow a house and I'll cruise up and down that road. I've had a few "downsized" land yachts (1990 Caprice, 1984 Delta 88, 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate) but I think what I'd really like is a car my dad used to own, the Chrysler Newport. The "fuselage" style of the early 70s is just fantastic and everything after that was a downgrade.
  17. There's nothing wrong with Larry and Girgs. They'll be fine if Botts can put together a good second line in front of them.
  18. Yep, I'd take Stastny as a stop gap.
  19. Detroit was fun!
  20. I'd love to say I want Tanev, mostly out of loyalty since he basically single-handedly carried my RIT Tigers to the Frozen Four as a freshman, but I'd rather have Bogo for one more season.
  21. Casey Nelson deserves more ice time tbh
  22. "Nick, there's rumours that Ristolainen might go to a Canadian team. Go talk about how special he is somewhere so we can get lots of clicks if it happens."
