You're a lot faster than I am. I'm towards the end of season 3 right now.

The goof who married Britney Spears years ago is the all time leader in majors?

I didn't care one bit about those pools (no money), so I just tried to have fun with them.

I can see guys who are looking for new contracts wanting to get out of Carolina. They're very reluctant to hand out multi-year deals there. If the next one could very well be his last deal, he'll go if he thinks he has a better shot at earning that long deal.

Back when I used to do those survival pools, I always wanted to win with style, so I'd take the very risk game each week. I don't think I ever made it out of week one.

My wife was rear ended (cue the inkman joke) in an intersection around 10 days ago. I dropped her car off for repairs today and picked up the rental. It's a fully loaded 2019 version of her car. *****, sh'e going to want a new car.

The difference in wording between the two is curious.

While you're watching videos, go watch some beach volleyball. Not only is a treat for the eyes, but you'll also see exactly what Flagg is referencing.

Is it supposed to strengthen on its way up? The outer bands of it did absolutely nothing here. I haven't yet seen how Wilmington fared though.

That's some stupid planning on their part. It has to hurt sales at least slightly.

What's in the box next to the Eichel picture? It looks like the kind of packaging you'd see for a phone charger. On another note, I'm very annoyed that I can't find a safe for work "what's in the box" gif.

I feel like it's completely independent of the Marner crew. Maybe it being Arizona adds to that thought, this one really feels to have happened in it's own little bubble. edit: And while we're talking about the RFAs, Calgary just signed 4 different guys to tryout deals today. That's an unusually high number of tryouts. It's not exactly an impressive list, but I'll be curious to see how quickly one or two of these guys get an actual contract the second Tkachuk signs.

At first I didn't realize I clicked on the Bills thread and I just assumed you were talking about Ristolainen. I laughed.

Not yet. He still has one year left on his ELC.

https://www.tsn.ca/arizona-coyotes-clayton-keller-reach-eight-year-deal-1.1360405 Clayton Keller just signed an 8 year extension. This should at least ease some people's fears that all of the high profile entry level guys (coughDAHLINcough) will start to follow the approach of this year's class. That long term security still appeals to some.

I'd be curious to see if there is a lot of overlap between the agents of these still unsigned RFAs. I'd suspect a bit of collusion on their part. And I don't mean to imply a negative spin with that term collusion, they're allowed to do it if they want.

What are they even going for there? The fishstick jersey belongs in the horrible jersey category. The Sabres one doesn't belong in that conversation or in the best conversation either.

They keep looking for better helmets to prevent concussions, but all it takes is crazy hair.

Weather makes sense. I know I've seen those before and I just naturally assumed hurricane. Those things are fun, by the way. My weekend started with me thinking my brother would be up from Florida and ended with me instead thinking my friend in Charleston will be here.

Thanks for making me feel old. That would have been my first draft eligible year. I still have no idea why everyone passed on me each time.

I'll ignore the Sabre side of the earlier argument for now. But even without specifics like this, the Bills have made the playoffs once over a 20 year span (or maybe it's twice, whatever). It's completely reasonable for people to be skeptical after so much time. Fool me once, shame on me. How does the saying go when it gets up to "fool me 18 times"?

I've seen that guy in the past. Is it always hurricane videos?

I'm willing to bet that he was getting low balled by ownership, didn't want to leave the array but also didn't want to play for too small of a salary.

This offseason is definitely a unique one. I'm not so sure we have any comparable here. I feel like there's more unsigned RFAs at this point than all of the post-2005 seasons combined.

You beat me too it. I was getting ready to post this:
