Randall Flagg

Now that we talked about it yesterday its tough to see it any other way

Bro

Just shitposting fellas

Name one defenseman to ever win a Stanley cup. You can't

Maybe I'm conspiracy theorist but I think teams tell Elliott that as their last bid to try and lower cost without direct negotiation, and Elliott is happy to oblige. It is a good sign that Kevyn has remained firm and I don't think every team will just walk away if that doesn't work

I'm dreaming about coming away with Beniers and Eklund. I'd be fine with Power and one of the two. I'd be disappointed with any other outcome possible with 2 picks in top 3-5

Stamkos seems like a shadow of his former self

Hes still like 19 too lol Cover 1 does a good job showing that while he does have a lot of room for growth, many if not all the plays he "misses" are actually screw ups elsewhere he's trying to make up for.

Suzuki, Caufield, Kotkaniemi are nice pieces. They have a defense corps and goalie ready to win now, nice players like Armia Byron Toffoli scattered through the lineup. Montreal doesn't have the pieces to compete in an eichel trade but they're the exact kind of team that could really use him to top it all off

Nah. I was all over the ROR stuff before pretty much everyone. This time is different. And even a disappointing eichel return will tower over the ROR return

I'm at a point where I'd feel deflated if we didn't move Jack. And I like him and think he's great

And he actually used that time constructively, and we learned a lot of things because of it.

I wonder how much that will matter to the other team. Probably less so since if they protect jack, they're protecting a guy that will play for them. Plus, I doubt Anaheim has too many hard decisions to make with protections

That's such a tight squeeze that I think we will make a push in the next 2 weeks

The Sabres traded for an injured Kane. If the teams are confident Jack will be fine, they will trade for 5 years of him even if he's hurt. You're right that they wouldn't if there is a significant chance he might have a real issue on his hands, which is possible, but that's not really what you said

Wookie, you just gotta learn to turn the tv/radio off

I was under the impression Jack is not playing games for a while? Is he going to be ready in October?

Why was arvidsson so cheap?

Reminds me of Mckenzie telling us right before the ROR trade how he was a 3C on a good team. ***** you, Bob.

I would be happy with that yes.

Trading Reinhart for Monahan would be a bad move

Why is his low plus minus not evidence of him performing badly, but his good plus minus (which is what "5v5 gf% is, more or less) is evidence of strong performance

Covid exacerbated the city's fall from what it once was (didn't really want to use the word grace haha), but root causes surely stem from far before, such that you and i will never know what things used to be like in places that were once the pinnacle of civilization

So, his plus minus ?

There are unique challenges at every point of the regular season, such that I wouldn't want to make firm conclusions until we've traversed them all. And then I'd be comfortable with a hypothesis that would still need more testing. This is barring the existence of obvious evidence in either direction which is always possible if not likely
