I was liking what they were saying about how seeding should be changed to reward regular season performance 1-16 doesn’t sound horrible honestly but I’d like 1-8 at least

Vegas as the 2 seed would draw Colorado in round 1 right now. Just a sicko format. Series would be fun though

How many times does someone have to respond to a post saying “PANIC MOVE” by saying NOT a panic move just a reasonable addition? There’s no discussion that can be had if the other side simply refuses to equate the other side’s desire for a move as anything other than PANIC Why does any trade have to be a PANIC! move no one wants a panic move

Plus, Dahlin He’s a Hart guy, he changes our team Last game would have been different

I think a move has a chance to help a lot, as a message to the team and sign of good faith. Ottawa seems to have gotten a jump we can’t undersell these impact of “vibes” since it’s being touted all the time when things ARE going well True, at least we aren’t selling, that’s actually a significant positive for me

No! We need to make the selection. Does Tim Murray ring a bell?!11

I bought you a new car, there’s a bow on it it’s just right over there under the Invisibility Cloak

When I moved out in 2012, the plan was to be back for every playoff game to watch as usual with my dad

A higher % than any other 1 spot math checks out

Probably the greatest commentary on whether or not Adams is addressing the defence too slowly, or at a reasoned pace: If you are able to trade *Josh Bloom* for a guy who lines up on your top pair the next game, when you are in a playoff fight, and you have *checks notes* one injury on D...you should have already had a better option

Yup. It’s hard to gauge exactly how severe his interest in Chychrun was, though we certainly know there was interest. In the end he decided he wasn’t worth the cost: but he would have taken him on the team. He wasn’t being ruled out for character reasons

Just the one still

Agree. Making all the picks again would be overkill

Sometimes athletes with that demeanour thrive in a big market. Like Eli in New York. Don’t often take the bait

It’s kind of interesting we dealt Gaustad at the deadline that year when IIRC we were still very much “in it”. the “grey piping” on the sweaters era is sorta a no-man’s land era

Well if it’s any consolation, Kevyn Adams admitted exactly this in his letter! 😆

Yes. He also played an extra in Straw Dogs. - - - Anyways, in the road trip movie (it’s bad), the main guy sings a song called “in the buff” and I think about it every time I read your posts

Have you ever seen the movie Road Trip: Beer Pong?

Yes I know. All the great historical athletes were born 50-100 years ago and the Earth just stopped pumping out figures with that level of talent

From quite a few accounts he satisfied all three for KA, at least to the extent KA, supposedly, seemed to consider him a viable option. I suppose there’s a chance it was all smoke but, seems unlikely Probably just a case of, “there can only be one winner.” Adams was certainly interested in the player, but never, apparently, at the price it was going to take

I think we heard it enough times from enough reputable sources that it’s probably very likely they were involved in talks. The reason I asked was specifically because you think he’s a cancer/or at least not a fit, and, assuming Adams was attempting to acquire him, I was curious as to what you’d think of that

Do you think all the countless reports we heard that Buffalo was speaking to Arizona were fabricated? Actually asking.

McDavid going to score over 150

Of course Carolina is the team doing little relative to the other contenders in the east. Seravalli mentioned they were concerned with upsetting the chemistry in the room. They did make a minor move for Ghost If there’s any question trying to be Carolina is what is in Adams heart of hearts, I’d be surprised They are certainly the model we are after, I think
