Isn't AMC owned by a Chinese company?

First, Nobody never said anything of the sort. Secondly, several posters were chanting "Mediocrity Forever" during the winning streak. This is no strawman, but It's like joining the Allies in WWII and deciding to only fight against the Italians.

Ehrhoff is the #2 Dman and +/- leader on the best team in the conference now.
-
damn, I had forgotten about that one. thanks.
-
Sure you can, because Ted Nolan, rookie bluelines, and untested goalies all create a lot of losses. You might be better off next year after testing new goalies in Nolan's system and letting your young D get minutes, but you'd be a lock for the playoffs this year if you traded samson for an NHL ready center and the firsts for an NHL scoring winger and a few prospects for some legit 3/4 d-men.
-
I may look at is as more of a binary than it really is. Either you are trying to win the Stanley cup, or you are accepting losses on purpose to be better in the future. we are not trying to win the Stanley cup. Edmonton never had anything close to that volume of picks in a 2 year span.
-
so it's more like: you play. to not completely throw. the game.
-
Samson Reinhart, 3 first round picks, and the prospects in Rochester provide you with a ton of options to trade things that are of absolutely no value to winning this year for things that are of value to winning this year. Not making even 1 move in that direction is the opposite of trying to win, it's tanking. They are losing now to build a better team in the future.
-
They had a million options to win more games this year and chose none of them. They chose to continue to value futures over assets. This is the definition of tanking. Valuing futures over current assets. The draft is only a tiny part of it. The are purposely choosing to lose a lot of games this year that they did not have to lose.
-
Nonsense. They are $11M under the cap, picked 4 times in the top 50 last year while sitting on 5 top 60 picks this year, and have at least half a dozen highly valued assets not playing in the NHL. If they wanted to win games this year, none of that would be true. This team is not built to win this year. Management has this team tanking.
-
20,000 posts and you still don't understand that they players on a tank still play to win the game. :P
-
This isn't terrible. We've got the grit in Buffalo, and no perimeter, so hopefully a melding of the two will create 7 or 8 Stanley Cup Championships.

It is ,in fact, it's a cable tv channel devoted entirely to 1980s Chrysler Hatchbacks.
-
There is added risk now as well since all of the projectors are digital and networked.

All of the credit cards.

Because I didn't make it to 9.

So my car inspection expired 8 months ago. whoops...
-
If the Islanders manage to defy nature and not Garth-up the season, I think Capuano will be in the conversation for the Adams. The "big turn around" always seems to garner some votes there.
-
Get two guys. Let them cage fight at camp for the starting role. Swap them week 6 if you need to. If I were the bills defense I would literally fight the offense in the locker room.

lulz

I don't really understand it. It appears that it is because they fear it will create the "economic boost that will allow the Castros to be come permanent fixtures in Cuba..." but that sentiment may be shifting: http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/obamas-cuba-opportunity/
-
Normalization is what the Cuban Americans don't want.
-
Absolutely zero chance the GOP allows for normalization and risk the Cuban vote in Florida prior to the presidential election in 2016. Also, I find it hilarious that Rubio is suggesting that this could give Cuba the economic lift needed to make the Castros a "permanent fixture" in Cuba. Because 53 years is really just a temporary inconvenience.

Or especially if they have no concept of "good for me" at all.

Not only can we buy him out, but a buy out this summer has a cap hit around $800k, while a buyout anytime after that would have a cap hit closer to $1.6M (according to capgeek's calculator.) It seems there will be a decision to make come June. 2015 Buyout: Cody Hodgson buyout from CapGeek.com 2015-16: $1,041,667 2016-17: $541,667 2017-18: $41,667 2018-19: -$458,333 2019-20: $791,667 2020-21: $791,667 2021-22: $791,667 2022-23: $791,667 2016 Buyout: Cody Hodgson buyout from CapGeek.com 2016-17: $1,416,667 2017-18: $916,667 2018-19: $416,667 2019-20: $1,666,667 2020-21: $1,666,667 2021-22: $1,666,667
