Weave

I’m glad noone is paying me to make the right decision on a deal like this. Levi has way more risk than Helle. His ceiling is a big unknown. Helle has way less time at peak performance than Levi, but his ceiling is obvious. And what is Helle’s next contract going to cost in cap and time? Why can’t I have both?

I don’t think that phrase means what you think it means. 😁 /pedant

I’m open to the possibility, but skepticism is high. Definitely in the “show me” category. I’m open to the possibility, but skepticism is high. Definitely in the “show me” category.

IMO its terrible. Lets take another job away from someone who doesn’t have the marketable skills to upgrade.

Spoiler alert!

First thing I did was scan the teams that made a final to see where we were at. Didn’t realize NYI and Tor were the only two “made it befores” with a longer drought than us. Every other team that has made a final was there in the 2xxx’s.

We didn’t have to cut them down. They already burned.

I’d rather they were deep enough that he plays 20:00 per game and leave 25:00 per game to the playoffs. But I am sure we all do.

AQI of 256 at the office in Henrietta this morning. Crazy how hazy and smokey the air has become. I’ve never experienced anything like this.

Until he factors in cost of living in Switzerland.

Every offseason lately I have wanted to compile the age/experience of the rosters that made the playoffs, just to show that noone else is building playoff teams with such a lack of age diversity. But every offseason the weather gets nice and I say ***** that, Im going outside. I guess what we are doing isn’t unprecedented given Chicago did something similar, but it sure is an outlier. The monolthic age structure of our roster is my primary concern. Maybe my last remaining concern. Excepting an unacceptable goalie situation of course.

The tweet reads that the Sabres loaned Östlund to the SHL. That tells me KA is at least equally confident that he’ll get the development opportunity there as he would in Roc. Im good with that. And love the autocorrect

Well, Google’s algorithm is designed to give you what it thinks you want. Id suspect your history shows you tend to read about this. I think Doohickey got it right. You’re being trolled.

And another thing, don’t be afraid to sign Helly to a long term deal. If Levi pans out and becomes the future franchise goalie, Helly becomes a top 3 goalie WITH term that you probably get more for in a trade than you gave up to get him.

I would wade in but Thorny is carrying the freight. We can afford to spend a prospect/ pick or two. We have an *actual* surplus and will not he able to ice all of them if they all pan out. You can’t have a playoff run without actually starting one. Of all the player’s theoretically available to acquire, Helly arguably gives us the highest chance of success. Was Okposo a rental for us last season? Was Girgensons? Why is Helly different? 1 full season. Not a rental. And my fall back, the future is not guaranteed. That prospect or pick we keep isnt guaranteed to make a difference. It’s not guaranteed that Levi doesn’t blow out a knee and lose his career. It’s not guaranteed that Dahlin, or Thompson, or Power remain healthy during the time it takes Levi to develop into a starter. Hell, it’s not guaranteed that Levi develops into a starter. Get Helly. Win. Let’s see where it goes from there. It’s almost like some of us are afraid of actually winning again. OK, I got my feet wet anyway.

Link? Apparently my social media accounts are well tuned to not see this stuff.

By which metric?

We had a thread deleted?

Somebody fix the damn gif thingy. I need to bust some fine gif on nfreeman for bringing this dead horse back.

We need a Hellebucyk version of the Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme Timo ***** Meier t shirt someone way more creative than me was hawking in NJ.

I love it. Thorny is fully in move surplus high value picks/prospects because we are talking roundS of playoffs, and Eleven is in Angry Eleven mode throwing max sarcasm at moving good players for picks. Are we back now? Are we normal again? God, I hope so.

Pits are uniquely built to do some serious damage. In that regard they are more dangerous than many other dangerous dogs, but it still comes down to whether they are properly socialized, just like any other dog. They need the right owners. Just like Malinois. Just like Cane Corsos. Or mastiffs, akitas, or chows. Or labs for that matter.

I used to think that way until my son adopted one. It’s the owner, not the dog.

Have you seen the unemployment rates lately? Not alot to choose from.
