  1. I have absolutely no tolerance for drinking and driving. If I go for a drink, even just one, I don't drive until I have had a full glass of water and have sat for at least an hour. If I have more than one, I don't take my car, I cab. I've seen so many idiots claim they are fine and can "handle it" and act uptight when you try to take their keys. It only takes one bad day. The system should be way harsher on idiots who do it even if there is no casualties as a deterrent. RIP Johnny hockey.....
  2. If broberg can get a 4.5 million dollar offer sheet, Swayman's agent's fax machine must sound like an 80s pinball machine right now. I guess he's holding out on the bruins
  3. Apparently Parent has been stubborn and is still kicking. The Devils signed him to their AHL team and he managed to be their 3rd best scorer last year. Devils' Xavier Parent Betting on Himself After Strong Rookie Camp - The Hockey Writers - New Jersey Devils - NHL News, Analysis & More
  4. Oh nice. Just read the wording of the trade. If Vegas regresses or somehow wins the lottery, we are allowed to sub the sharks pick and keep the highest 1st round pick this year
  5. Well yeah. His AHL salary is $80000 a year and he is waiver exempt. They resigned Saros for 8 years, indicating he won't have a path to being an NHL starter for at least 4-5 years and Saros is one of the few 60+ game workhorse goalies left and then they added Wedgewood as backup on a 2 year deal And pretty much told Askarov even if he outplayed Wedgewood, he would be AHL because he is waiver exempt and Wedgewood isn't Everyone drafted around Askarov is making like $80000 per game(his yearly salary) and have between 100 and 300 NHL games played to his 3. If I was at work and denied positions and pay while constantly being told I was top 3 among prospects at my position in the world for years and everyone drafted with me had already made millions and had fully paid off houses and sportscars making over 10x the money and they were telling me "in a few years maybe we will give you a shot" I would probably be upset.
  6. Unless it's for 2 years down the road, I wouldn't get to hopeful lol. The plan is still to suck next year and draft Logan Hensler or Charlie Tretheway lol
  7. I honestly wish we kept magnus Chrona because I loved his name and he was my favorite goalie at the prospect scrimmage
  8. Future is bright At C, a 1/2 punch of Celebrini and Smith, followed by Bystedt as 3rd line C At wing, Musty, Eklund, Chernyshov. On D, Dickenson and Mukh, as well as a few others And now Askarov. With our pick this year, should be a right hand D. Logan Hensler or Charlie Trethaway I am almost ready to ask for San Jose to build a statue for Mike Grier. In 2 years he managed to: Trade Karlsson's almost unmoveable 11.5 million dollar contract with 4 years remaining on it and only retain 1.5 million AND get a high 1st rounder for it, which he turned into a #1 D Draft pick Sam Dickenson Traded Burns contract with 3 years remaining on it. Traded Hertl's contract with 6 years remaining on it after his 4th knee surgery And got a 1st and a first round prospect in Edstrom, then flipped them both for the #1 goalie of the future in Askarov Traded Timo Meier as a rental who had a minimum qualifying offer of 10m dollars and got Shakir Mukhamadullin a Dman who went 1st round, Zetterlund and a 2nd ,Which turned into Leo Wallenius, a highly touted D prospect.
  9. Damn. I almost called it the other day LOL Not thrilled we gave the Vegas pick instead of our 2nd, but Edstrom is expendable since we have Celebrini and Smith
  10. Woohoo. Not thrilled we gave up the vegas pick instead of a 2nd, but at least it was only Edstrom lol
  11. Well see. Laine gets injured a lot. Folks used to track how often he played fortnite and he used to stay up all hours of the night playing that game. Was kinda comical when he got upset that folks were sharing his gametime (he played thousands of matches and like 5-6 hours a day)so he switched to a new name on a burner account lol His points per game is always good, but hes never quite ever looked like that 44 goal scoring kid again and he was always lazy and bad defensively. I can still hear Buff yelling "SKATE" a bunch of games in a row. I usually watched jets games because i have a Hockey fantasy love of Hellebuyck, but the guys yelling at Laine became a funny 2nd side effect.
  12. I don't do pay leagues anymore. Never seen anything turn work friendships against each other faster than some suspect trades and vetos lol
  13. Ceci to the sharks for Emberson and a 3rd. Sharks getting a free draft pick, a RHD player they can throw to the wolves without hurting any of their kids, and probably another pick at the trade deadline given how depth RHD on expiring contracts are valued. I like it. Edmonton gets a year of capspace
  14. Logan Mailloux seems underrated. I like Hutson, but not sure I rank him higher.
