Ya know, I was actually thinking this was exactly like covering up a murder. Uncanny,...

You kinda jumped in mid conversation so my points might not be pointed directly at you.

I never said you don’t need high end draft picks to be good. I said you don’t need to intentionally get bad in order to get them. And you certainly don’t get rid of the talent that you have in order to get them. Let me state this one more time, good teams have high picks that help them win because, and wait for it, every team has high picks that help them win. The last place team last year had 5 top 1 or 2 OA picks on it! It is not the differentiating factor that makes teams good. ***** it. Enjoy your endless cycle of tanks. It’s obviously what you want.

You still don't get it.

And I think it was more like 125K before the pandemic.

I apologize. I’m sorry he’s a blockhead.

Um, what? A few years back they were a positive against every line they played a against for the entire year. The year after that, they were a positive against every line but one (Okoposo, Girgs, and Larsson.) They we’re called the Perfection Line. Look, whether or not you think you have to get worse in order to get better, that’s an opinion, and I will never change mine. Maybe not last season, but that line being the best line for a long time is a fact,... and they were drafted 25th, 25th, and 45th.

It was Boston's top Line. How can you guys continue to miss the point? Go over the rosters of all teams, even losing teams. They all have just as many if not more 1st overall picks on them and many top five picks. Look at the Sabres FFS! Last year we had 2 1st and 3 2nd OAs. Collecting early draft talent does not ensure winning.

You're a blockhead.

Did bad teams get good? Yes. Did they get good because they were bad? Absolutely not. That's ridiculous. They got good because they got good.

Who he? Me he?

Leafs still haven't won a playoff series and I notice that Edmonton is not on that list. Curious. In fact, the list of teams that didn't make your list is way longer.

25th, 25th, 45th Those are the draft positions of the best line in hockey. You draft well throughout all rounds and develop well. You don't get worse to get better. Period. And you certainly don't keep trying that when it doesn't work time after time. That's just ***** stupid.

No. It's not. And what does that second line even mean?

I can tell you that the Hackensack Brewing CO’s Walk Off Double IPA was delicious on this day.

Dude. Julius,...mmmmmmmm What a business model. We don't ship the beer to you, we make you come to the beer,... and we do it gladly. Damn. I didn't realize I started liking it because of my age. Thanks, jerk.

I honestly can't say I blame him. I wouldn't want it done either, and I'm not a pro hockey player. I have always thought of this procedure as kinda weird. A question for someone who might know: have other hockey players had this done? If so, who were they and were they different afterward?

Penultimate,... what more is there to say. I think Kyle is a good player. He’s not slow, no matter how many times I read it here. At times, he’s looked like the only NHL talent on this team, other than Jack and Sam.

Thanks. Actually, the entire kit is electric, even the toms. They just look like real drums. He uses the Roland TD-50 drum brain and has a doulbe kick pedal.

God forbid we ever try to give them a reason to stay. We blame our better players for the losses, they want to leave, and we replace them with league minimum borderline NHLers. Bye bye, Dahlin. I hope you fine your love of the game again in three years on your new team. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. JFC I hate this team.

What if Jack’s value is playing for the Sabres? What if his injury was going to take this long to recover from no matter the treatment plan? We are tanking this year. It’s just a fact. What if KA’s plan is to get more early draft talent and have Jack return the following year and kill it for us with them, or later this year with a team that he believes in. There is just so much we don’t know.

I’ll play.

I love it, but you forgot it also looks like he got shot through the chest with a cannonball.

This makes me laugh. It's just such a dick post.
