Doohickie

I can vaguely remember when we had newborns in the house (they're in their 30s now) and remember how every workday, I felt like zombie.

Had to get up at 4 am to take my son to the airport. Tried to go back to sleep for an hour or so when I got back. Didn't really fall asleep. I'm going to be a zombie today. If I wasn't just back from vacation, I'd take a vacation day.

Perhaps. It's also a reasonable read of the tea leaves.

No, I don't think so. That first year he brought in Hall and Staal and company in an effort to win now with Eichel; I think *that* was at Pegula's urging, but that same summer (2020) he signed Reinhart to only a one year bridge, which to me was the first concrete sign that Kevyn was thinking rebuild. I think he was already planning to trade Eichel before he was incapacitated with his neck injury. In 2020 Kevyn brought in Hall, Staal, Eakin and Sheahan to try to give Eichel some veteran help, I believe at the urging of Krueger and TPegs. It was only after that failed spectacularly that Kevyn was able to get buy-in from TPegs to move some of the rotten tankfruit out do the larger rebuild.

Kevyn tied his own hands though.

I don't think I would have even noticed CapFriendly was gone except for this thread.

It's actually spotrac (only one "r"): https://www.spotrac.com/ Instead of going to a particular site, I typically just google the player's name and "salary" or "contract" and pick one of the sites that pop up.

Honestly, I think Granato was coaching as if he were still a Development Program coach, keeping a simple, static scheme so that each player would know where to expect teammates to be. Unfortunately the opposition knew too.

Never seen it in our Costco but I will look closer just for fun. Walmart I avoid. I've seen it at Costco.

Actually, it's not very full.

Krebs, iirc, was the center for Quin/JJP in Roc. Although maybe not on the PP

...with Krebs at center????

On another forum I post to, a mod would have split this into two threads: One about camp, one about pizza. They never do that here.

It's just the style that developed in local taverns. I wouldn't be surprised if it started with an imaginative square pan salesman.

Not a thing, sir. Not a thing.

They won't? That's exactly why they lost to Florida.

Is that what the kids are calling these days?

There's the period where all the depth guys get waived at the beginning of the season before they go down to the minors. Scoop up someone like another Bryson then.

....until he inevitably breaks some tiny bone in his wrist blocking a shot.

Oh come on, your company can't be that large that it has that many Coltons. And what did you do, search the Enterprise White Pages? 😉

Now there's a boy who can do a pullup:
