Kudos, I certainly didn't see that coming. Curious, why was he banned so fast?

Not even sure how I'd go about finding this out

Wait so Utica is Yuri?

Seriously. This isn't even a discussion

I mean do you really disagree with that chart I posted? You don't think those are the best center combinations in the league?

Just because you're the best in the league in one area doesn't mean you can't be so woefully incompetent and awful in the others that you don't succeed. Correlation not causation with your example

I'm not really going to complain about it. I was more interested in looking at RoR's column

@TheFourthPeriod The Karlsson trade discussions have heated up significantly over the last 24 hours. Told Vegas still very much in mix. Rangers no longer part of equation. Other teams involved in race.

Laughed at that as well, but who else is there? Berglund? Reinhart? Mittelstadt?

Top 1-2 center pairs in the NHL based of Goals Against Replacement. Warning: Don't look at this if you're still mad about the trade. It might actually kill you https://i.imgur.com/gulNa5b.jpg

Well played :lol:

Me either

@SabresAmerknews Giorgio Estephan has signed an AHL contract with Toronto Marlies. He was a 6th round pick of the #Sabres in 2015 and wasn’t offered a Entry Level Contract.

Well, I have ears, so yes :nana: :lol: Granted he's obviously not the best by a long shot, but eh it's fun to listen to so why not.

I have a feeling we would have very different tastes in rap artists :lol:

Damn, never knew that. Pretty nice piece of trivia to know Far as Jay Z, big meh on him for me. Never got the fuss, don't think he's all that good. Only song I like by him is Hard Knock Life

Jordan won 3 Finals with #45?

To be fair, Jordan's number change was at the end of his career, right? LeBron's and Kobe's were in their prime

Had no idea about Jordan :lol:. To me he's always been 23

Sorry, not sure what you mean here. Can you explain a little more? They'll sell for a lot less than he's hoping, I'll bet that right now

I wouldn't buy that. He's on record as saying he loves living in Ottawa and will likely spend the rest of his life there no matter what http://ottawasun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators/erik-karlsson-plans-to-remain-in-ottawa-at-least-every-summer There's a reason every Sens fans want to throw Melynk off the tallest bridge they can find. He's going to sell in two years, he cares nothing about the franchise long term, only maximizing it's potential selling point right now

Better pray Bobby Ryan retires then too

I'd be pretty pissed honestly.

He's sooooo bad and soooo overpaid and for soooooo long though. $7.25M over the next 4 years for a guy that gets around 20-30pts/season now is just so hard to bite off. If we didn't already have a contract like that (Okposo) on our books maybe we could stomach it. I'm absolutely amazed the Sens would do that by the way; anchor Ryan to Karlsson. Karlsson's trade could set them up so nicely for a rebuild. They will get such a monstrously smaller return if they insist on tying Ryan to him though

That would be really bizarre. Only two players I can recall doing that were Kobe and LeBron, and they did it for, well, let's just say different reasons
