  1. Basically it works like this. We get to try him out for a year. If he plays well and wants to be here then we can sign him. If he plays well but wants to test free agency, then we trade him for better assets than what we gave up to get him at the trade deadline. The only way we don't come out ahead is if he sucks.
  2. I think Skinner is a more creative player and maybe has the potential to be a Briere type for us. I prefer that to Kane's style, frankly.
  3. Interesting...
  4. I think we as fans regularly desire these things, or hope for a GM to follow through on threats like "there are going to be changes". But how often does that actually play out? This team is nearly completely different than it was a few months ago.
  5. That's just bananas. Not something that happens very often in this league.
  6. I think it's still too early to say what exactly this season will mean for things like coaching. A lot is going to depend on what this roster looks like on opening night and Botterill's expectations for it. We are inching closer to a scenario, roster wise, where I think expectations are increasing.
  7. I am sorry to hear that dude.
  8. I can't believe how much different this lineup looks.
  9. Slayer tonight ⚰️??
  10. Better solid than liquid.
  11. Yup. Carolina screwed up and it pleases me.
  12. Not a big Skinner fan, but he'll be a better fit than Kane and the price we paid seems like we got a good deal.
  13. Re: Bogo I think if we can play him on the bottom pair with less ice time he'll be capable of putting up a full season. I think playing top line minutes is too hard for him and he ends up being too reckless to be effective. If he can play less minutes he'll be a tolerably useful defender.
  14. Truly awesome
  15. Right? What the heck is going on here? Who is rinsing detergent bottle caps? Guys. Just buy the Tide Cold Water jugs and then use like...half what it recommends. Simplify your laundry. And stop over-drying your clothes too. All that extra time in the dryer on blazing hot is just wasting energy and destroying the fabric.
  16. Easily one of the best lyrical phrases in all of music.
  17. Either you need to cut your detergent use back or your washing machine is the size of a dump truck.
  18. I'm going to keep voting for the February 23rd game against the Stanley Cup Hero Tom Wilson unless someone else needs to make another suggestion.
  19. Hilarious
  20. Thaaaaat blows. Maybe a body shop could suggest something that would get the paint off without damaging the clear coat.
  21. You definitely don't have to do anymore work for him lol
  22. Oh , I missed that completely.
  23. "Redistribution of wealth" is a clumsy way of trying to oversimplify a larger concept anyway. I think most of us are advocating for a system where labor gets its fair share of the spoils of a capitalist wage labor system. We don't have to exist in this kind of economic system, but so long as we do, the accumulation of enormous wealth by a few individuals is undesirable. If you're accruing massive wealth you're taking something from someone you owe it too. So either you owe it to the government so they can distribute it, or you owe it to the people who worked for you. No capitalist accrues his wealth on his own and in a vacuum. It happens because somewhere in the system someone or some thing is being taken advantage of.
  24. I would assume, based on what I pay in taxes, that it would be pretty much every household with a combined income of $100k+ caveat: I am not a tax expert by any means.
