Derrico

Yep. Kids back to school and summer holidays coming to an end will help. I do better with routine lol. well, time I do a little pre-draft research

Ya that’s why hard spirits should have little insulin response whereas beer will. This is fair but the having whatever I enjoy has also got me to this point....

Her (I guess our) diet is all based on the insulin response. I’m telling her you said beer was ok for tonight ?

So for the draft I was going to rock some ipa I got from a local microbrewery but alas my wife has talked me into losing some weight again with her via cutting carbs. I’ve got some Gretzky whiskey sitting on the shelf. May just have it in the rocks. What say you?

Ya I think it’s because I’m setting my bar too low. Forget wildcard it’s playoffs or bust this season!

Yes! Another season begins tonight. Reminder the draft is all set for 10pm tonight. Get your beer (or drink of choice) ready as it’s Derrico’s turn to win it all (although I’ll be satisfied as long as I’m ahead of wildcard). See you guys in the draft room tonight! Usually you can log into the draft room about 30 minutes prior to the draft to find out the order.

Paging @WildCard

Draft tomorrow at 10pm!! Guess I won’t be getting singletary with my last pick like my other 3 leagues lol.

I’m also not saying Thompson will likely ever be a 30 plus top line player but I think he will show more than the sentiment around here. Both short and long term.

By February/March he will look like he belongs in the top 9 (not just a placeholder there). I think he will show signs that he will be a legit third line winger going forward. If he plays close to a full 82 game season he will be sniffing 20 goals (17 or 18). This time next year we will be asking if he can be a 20 goal scorer for the upcoming season. Specific enough? A 20/21 year old winger struggling in the NHL is hardly unique. He has put up points at every single level up until now. That does not guarantee success at the nhl level but it is a strong indicator.

Dude. Both guys screwing with the leafs salary cap is eh ok by me ?

Why? It may come back to screw over the sabres with dahlin next contract but right now it appears he is not giving a home town discount or some cap break to a division rival. I actually love the situation.

It’s tough to properly evaluate some of these guys based on last year imo. I’m really not trying to make excuses for these guys but it’s also tough to do anything but trash playing with guys like sobotka and the ghost of pommers. This team is one more top 6 away from having acceptable level talent through the top 12 forwards. Not earth shattering but not chalked full of AHLers and washed up guys either. How he does this season will really sway my opinion of him. He showed enough to me that if he’s playing with competent players he will be fine.

I understand how unpopular this opinion is but Tage will be a bigger contributor this season than most expect. Between him being one of the bigger pieces of a terrible trade (not his fault) and the way the whole team went last year it’s not surprising he’s already a whipping boy. I’m excited to see him show some development this year as the vast majority of young players do early in their careers.

Parking garages. You are not considering building up and thus vastly understating the downtown area.

Ok looks like we're all full and moved over to Yahoo now (shakes his fist at Wildcard). Draft is Monday September 2nd at 10pm (eastern time zone). Good luck all. This is finally my year now that JuJu is out lol!!!!!

Alright @Claude Balls I believe it is you who has not yet joined. Please join by the end of the day or I’ll have to move on to the next person.

You're in! We are one short. Still trying to figure out who it is.....

We were full but still waiting on two more to send me their info to get into Yahoo. I'll message you if one or both fall through. If you haven't sent me your info please do so by tomorrow or I guess you will lose your spot. Would like to get everyone in there as the draft is Monday September 2 at 10pm.

He is going to be a leader in no time.

Alright guys. I want to facilitate this Yahoo switch but we still need everyone to join. After True joins we still have 2 short. Who has not yet moved over to Yahoo???

No it gets randomized around a half hour or so prior to the draft. Yahoo does the randomization so nobody shoot the comish over that!!
