Randall Flagg

By points percentage?

Dorky meme but I laughed

The golden age for gaming, for reading, and for making gainz The only good thing to come of coronavirus

My girlfriend's dad has delivered new sports cars to Vanek and Stafford and a couple others. He said that they were first-purchases for both of them, and they were both still starry-eyed when receiving them, cuz they were still basically just kids. "Can you believe it man, look at this HOUSE"

People who genuinely think that what he called a hoax was coronavirus itself, rather than what he perceived (correctly or incorrectly) to be a political weapon thrown against him, have let him so far into their heads that they will never be able to keep him out of main board topics His handling of this is my least favorite thing he's done in his presidency, but it's funny how ungrounded our (broadly, not sabrespace) self-appointed fact/moral arbiters can be Feel free to delete this comment, I shouldn't have posted it but couldn't help it

They mention he was about to turn 25 in that video. 25 When his career was never the same again. Something to keep in mind the next time we try to justify the Jack years we've wasted with bad moves for bad players

71 minutes is an absurdly small amount of time for these opinions to have been genuinely formed

If this winds up delaying when we find out Jason's fate, and next year's roster, I will be agonized. Of course, I would agree with it 20000000%

What is "doing the pick"

Mackinnon Makar Rantanen Kadri Grubauer Burakovsky Calvert Wilson This is the list of currently-injured Avalanche players. It includes the 1C, the 1D, the 1RW, the 2C, the 1G, their 3rd best winger, and key penalty killers. Some of them have been out a while, some will be out for a while. We'll see what this does to their season, but if I hear any member of this organization trying to pull out an injury excuse, I will punch them in the face

When UFA hits, though, Halak's moment with us will have been 2 GMs ago and 4 coaches ago, so I dont think it'll play a role ?

Pi himself has pointed out many times that you can't use it to compare players on different teams. Which means one thing - this is the billionth example that pi's primary role at sabrespace is to troll for reactions

Nic Deslauriers was the single worst player on more than one bad Sabres team. But he is a fun guy, and I'm glad he's having a nice season in Anaheim.

Total saves and total wins when he's been hurt, and some teams use their starters a higher percentage of the time than the Sabres? Or did you normalize those?

I think this is where his dubious handling of good chances starts to peek through.

Says you!

I like him and he's still getting better. I worry that he's a little bit sheltered because our defense tends to keep shots to the outside. His high danger save percentage is 46th among goalies to play 1000 minutes this year. I worry that he'd be Hutton-esque on a more porous defensive team

Wow, he nearly tripled his career scoring total in just 20 mins

This would likely get us to a wildcard spot, yeah. The rest of my moves aim to eliminate holes to the point where I think our march discussion is if we can get home ice, rather than get into a spot at all.

Iteration 3: My biggest fear while still maintaining this structure edition: Tier 1: Risto, Pilut to LA for Jeff Carter's corpse Tier 2: Reinhart to Minnesota for Victor Rask, Galchenyuk, and a 2nd (Rask and Galchenyuk have both had decent to good years but are currently horrifying hockey players, we'd be paying for name) Tier 3: Contract to Simmonds and a bad defenseman like Stone or Polak Skinner - Eichel - Galchenyuk Olofsson - Carter - Simmonds Johansson - Rask - Kahun Asplund - Lazar - Okposo Dahlin - Miller McCabe - Stone Montour - Joki

I don't know if Lindholm still has this reputation, but for a long time in Carolina his offense was a disappointment while his all-around game had developed pretty nicely. Since being put in a better offensive environment, his offensive numbers have jumped pretty significantly, I haven't watched enough to know if his defensive game is still good. As far as I know, though, he's as close to an ideal target as there is out there, being a center on a team that has a lot of frustration with their current core as has been whispered. Those defensive pairs I posted aren't in any particular order, and I'm confident that a coach can work with those six players in a way that doesn't show a severe drop off in play from this year (with opportunity to get better as 3 of them are still developing). There are plenty of playoff teams with a defenseman worse than Pilut playing. Fedun was on Dallas' roster for a significant chunk of their successful season last year, Pittsburgh's D is an abomination, Calgary regularly has two hot-garbage D in the lineup any given night etc. I'm just throwing stuff out there on a whim, with the idea that there are plenty of frustrated teams out there that might want to shake things up or perceive their situations to be borderline-desperate (any California team, Florida, Calgary, Minnesota, Winnipeg, Tampa if they underwhelm in the playoffs again, maybe more) and I need Jason to get out there and figure out how to take advantage of them in one important trade. Be the shark here for a change, stop bowing your head in obedience to take on huge cap dumps with clauses that don't let you try and get rid of Hunwick etc. Be a leader and FIX your team

That's what pro scouts are for - figuring this out. Anthony is the real deal. But either way, I don't mean to say that I'd trade pick #2 and Mitts for Cirelli, just that, I wouldn't shy away from using a lottery win in whatever this deal ends up being, while of course expecting more in return than if it wasn't as high a pick.

I'd kill for Jason's email address lol

Iteration 2: Tier 1: Mittelstadt, Montour, 1st round pick 2020 to Calgary for Elias Lindholm, Derek Ryan, 3rd round pick Tier 2: McCabe, above 3rd round pick, Ryan Johnson to Winnipeg for Copp Tier 3: Sign Larry after he gets excited for these moves, add Ryan Reaves in UFA, sign Joel Edmundson to play 3rd pairing defensive minutes Khudobin again, but really any goalie Skinner - Eichel - Kahun Olofsson - Lindholm - Reinhart Johansson - Ryan - Copp Reaves - Larsson - Okposo Dahlin - Miller Pilut - Risto Edmundson - Jokiharju Ullmark, Khudobin

Reframing my desired offseason as the 3 tier plan. Tier 1: We need one big move for 2C. We almost got it at the trade deadline, being in on Trocheck with a deal that we thought was better than Carolina's offer. This shows that Jason is looking for it. We NEED him to find it. It's the most important tier. Tier 2: We need two moves for quality wingers (or centers, but they're filling wing slots in my lineup framework) who don't need to be stars. Cozens may well be the guy on the 3rd line. (Coach might jumble the lines, mine are just for organization philosophically, an easy hierarchy with which to see the holes and strengths of the team). One would ideally mesh with Eichel and Skinner, one would ideally mesh with Kahun and Johansson in a third line role. Could easily be the completed Anderson trade we were looking for, plus Cozens, and that could work (and it might not). Jason, we need it to work. Tier 3: We need three moves for true depth, two at forward and one at D. I'd like the two forward moves to be Zemgus and Larry. It's possible that we could skate by with them being promotions of Asplund and Lazar to permanent 4th line roles, with Asplund-Lazar-Kyle having a similar impact on the team as GLO, but I'm not confident they'd be as successful, and would like to see Larry and Zemgus back. I understand the reality that they might leave. The two moves could be losing both of them, promoting Lazar, and signing a 4LW, or any other iteration of these guys, prospects, and UFA. Just keep the 4th line running smoothly rather than being awful. The third depth move is to replace a defenseman that will surely be gone in one of the tier 1 or tier 2 moves. It could be a Borgen/Pilut development leap, a UFA signing, another small ancillary trade. One 2C, two nice but not expensive wingers that make a fit (compare to the Johansson or Kahun acquistion), and three depth pieces that could possibly already be here, but might leave, and might come from elsewhere. And a goalie. Simple!
