You need to get to the Levi thread. Put Sam behind you.

If only. We have too many amateur scouts who are too in love with their player evaluation "skills." They'll always find a way to twist things. Reinhart didn't get much — they were right about him, but Adams got screwed. Risto got too much — they were still right about him, but Adams bent over the Philly GM. The opinions of the professionals, the crowd sourcing of people who've worked in hockey their whole lives mean nothing to them. They're not going anywhere. Practice the eye rolls, grin and bear it.

If Sabre fans chanted goalie names in a positive fashion, it would be a great name to chant... LEE vy! LEE vy! LEE vy! Alas... Will his nickname be Marv? Or just Devsy?

Remember that participating in this board has value to the Pegulas. It's over. I hope you would agree their assessment has more value than what some dudes just found in a quick Google search. Great? In my best George Carlin, Who? (Relax, it'll work itself out.)

He better look amazing in Levis.

No, you're right. The jeans jokes will be good anyway.

Even if he's already in the country?

What if he's just going to Florida on vacation?

Outside though? Maybe a hammock with fresh air blowing on you?

What if we think less literally about it? "Will want to be here." Get 'em while they're young, build something around them and they'll want to stay. Until then, they are strongly motivated to develop and build their careers. The others, the old core, a lot of the veterans in the league, don't want to be here/will never want to be here. It's going to be tough, but I think it's going to be fun. It's the only way out.

Is the universe a simulation then?

He'll do that tonight. He's waxing my car this afternoon.

Are you outside?

Grigorenko was hype city too. Nice!

When will we know the Reinhart return?

Wax my car. It's a 2009 Vibe. Bring some Snickers. And no bitching.

I meant Sam. And Jack. And all the rest. They made the choice to fester in a negative environment and eventually have to ask out.

Stoicism replies... You are the atmosphere.

Does the word star mean nothing anymore?

I know it's a joke but would the NHL care is Beane was actually advising? Would the NFL?

Nicely in context. It is what it is. True. It's a good trade on paper. But it's just the first shot of medicine we have to take. It's more bitter than sweet to me.

In my best Carlin, "Where?" Did you think he was worth virtually nothing now with a long shot at something in the distant sports future? If so you weren't wrong.

We call lunch dinner.
