I'm with you. I think. As good as Dahlin is I don't think he's as good as he should be. Not consistently.

Who's more positive than me?

Ha!

In fairness, when I said something nice to you you said it made you uncomfortable and asked for an eye roll 🤪 Ironically, I believe you and I agree on 95% of everything.

Most, not all. I didn't expect playoffs before 25. I've been as consistent on that as my belief in 6K. When Ventura and Karmanos were brought in prior to the 21 draft all you analytics nerds creamed your collective panties. You made compelling arguments and sucked me in. I've completely bought into Adams draft and develop strategy. The drafting part is done, but so many want to forego the develop part. "We need grit! We need size! Trade Kulich and Rosen for a 28yo 3rd liner!" It's ***** idiotic. Everyone's clutching thier pearls about "all of them won't make it!" Why not? If Karmanos and Ventura are as great as the nerds say, and given how they are performing post draft, there's no reason to believe they won't make it.

I think you're a bit high on both term and dollars. I think Adams signs him for three years between 3.5-4M.

The only thing in he I disagree with is I don't think Okposo comes back. The player I most want him to target in FA is Tommy Novak. I think he'd be a really good middle six player on this team at a reasonable cost.

I think peoples tolerance/agreement with Adams long term build strategy impacts if they think he's doing a good job or not.

I'm not 🤪

Perhaps. Not knowledgeable about the industry in general, but I do know if you have a class A you can be in a Paschall (Based out of Murray) truck next week.

Can always find employment as a truck driver.

You are right, of course. I used this age rage because those are the people most likely to enter into the service, the cutoff age for job corps (perhaps it's 23, I'm not 100% positive, it's been eight years since my youngest went through there), and physically healthiest. But I definitely agree with you.

I also mentioned job corps. It a very small percentage of 18-25 year old Americans that have a physical/mental handicap that prevents them from being able to find some kind of meaningful employment. The overwhelming majority are just lazy.

Chiefs signed Matt Araiza. Glad to see the kid get a shot, wish it was with a different team though.

I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic.

"The lease expires in 2025" Would someone more knowledgeable than I please explain what the possible options could be after the lease expires?

I agree he's a very good scorer, but I don't believe he's a very good hockey player, and I don't think he provides good value for his salary.

We have that. I'll say it again, Levi will start at least 25 games next year and have a winning record.

It's still not clear what your thoughts are regarding Adams and his slow build. Would you elaborate in great detail? Take your time, really hammer the finer points. Leave nothing out, help everybody understand what your stance is, from forwards to goaltending, drafting to free agency. Don't forget the trade deadline! No less than three thousand words, anything short of that would leave too much interpretation for the reader. Thanks in advance....

I consider him a net negative. Interesting how different we perceive his value.

Skinners contract was structured to be bought out after next year. I broke it down in another thread, the pearl clutching over money is unnecessary.

6K is having a better season than Ullmark did at the same age.

I thought it was funny. What's wrong with a ref showing some humor when announcing a call?

I'd offer Savoie. If that didn't do it I'd start adding draft picks. If Savoie and next years first don't get it done I'd pass. That's as high as I'd go.
