Especially when you consider all of the Title IX issues surrounding hockey. It’s not like schools/areas wouldn’t want D1 hockey, it’s that most can’t because of BS political reasons.

That’s because cool coaches write right on the glass

Tkachuk everyday of the week. He’s more skilled and he is the type of player this team sorely needs. He’s well worth the extra money/picks. Do you think Tkachuk isn’t worth $9m?

To be fair, having coached less skilled hockey teams before, being able to execute a good dump and chase and knowing how to successfully chip the puck out of the zone and hit stretch passes is absolutely imperative. It’s not fun hockey and it’s not good hockey, but sometimes it’s the only hockey a team can play based on rosters.

Hell yeah, best of luck.

He addresses that right in the article

Someone absolutely should offer sheet Marner, but I’m not sure I see it happening.

Thanks for always doing this, you’re an incredibly valued poster here. I don’t think it would be the worst to make Byram look as bad as possible. Any chance you can grease the pull-up bar for him?

I would trade a 2nd back for our third if it meant the Sabres signed Matthew Tkachuk, though Im not sure how rational it is. He’s one of my three favorite players and would love him in a goat head jersey next season.

I hate how Marchand wears his pants.

?? It’s the circle of life ??

If there any posters who are unsure of how they can respect and honor the fallen, please take a moment to read the following biographies and consider the families and their struggles on this somber day: https://thefallen.militarytimes.com/marine-lance-cpl-timothy-g-serwinowski/4681770 https://www.greenberetfoundation.org/memorial/riley-g-stephens/ https://www.greenberetfoundation.org/memorial/justin-cameron-marquez/ https://www.greenberetfoundation.org/memorial/joseph-lee-schiro/ https://www.greenberetfoundation.org/memorial/michael-s-duskin/ https://www.greenberetfoundation.org/memorial/andrew-m-pedersen-keel/ https://www.greenberetfoundation.org/memorial/jason-b-jones/ https://www.greenberetfoundation.org/memorial/girard-gass-jr/

Why is that?

I lowered my flag this morning and it really got to me. I don’t think that I’ve been this emotional about Memorial Day in the past. Every year that passes I feel like I spend less and less time thinking of those who lost their lives for our country during my trips overseas, and the guilt gets to me. I wish I had done more. I wish I could have done more. I understand that for many this is a day of cookouts and pool parties, but please take the time to reflect today on those who have given their life for our freedom.

Great news for USA hockey as a whole

I think you’re reading that wrong. I think it’s 1st+Bryson (deal) and 1st+Laaksonen (no deal). I’d do Nelson as well, but not Pilut.

I thought I saw an article in the athletic questioning if Washington would qualify Burakovsky. I didnt read it but any chance anyone did?

You’re right, I misread your post as “what other option do they have other than increase revenue?” I thought you were talking in terms of profitability, which should be the focus of the league right now. Making money will be the easiest way to bring investors and expand. The opposite of the WNBA strategy basically. They haven’t ever turned a profit and don’t attract much outside investors beyond the NBA.

Decrease expenses. It seems like the priority should be finding appropriate sized arenas and stadiums to lower operating costs. WNBA had major issues with arena sizes, women’s hockey can’t make the same mistake to thrive. It’s better to expand into larger arenas and longer schedules than to move to smaller arenas and have to cut games.

I was also going to recommend Audio Technica. I started with the LP60 and I felt like that was a good starter table for me. A few years ago I upgraded to a U-Turn, which I would highly recommend, but not as a starter as it doesn’t have a built-in pre-amp or an auto-drop/return needle.

Isn’t that a pretty substantial increase in games? If money is an issue, how is playing more games the solution? Aren’t operating costs a back-breaker for women’s leagues in general?

That seems like an awful lot for a 27 year old 40-50 point guy. Like about a million too much. Bad news for Buffalo and Skinner?

If you make a thread here I’ll post in it. In the process of moving right now so the table isn’t getting much use, but hopefully that won’t be the case long.
