  1. If he NHL had a brain, they would end regional blackouts, put everything on ESPN+ and sell ads regionally by IP address. What I am saying is the future of live sports is streaming and Disney, Netflix, Paramount, and idk whoever else HBO-Max? will be the providers.
  2. If you want a passer on that line with them it should be Benson. His ability to take pucks off the wall and find teammates is uncanny. That is my only issue with Peterka being on that line, I think he can pass just fine but he's a better trigger guy. I would almost do this... Benson - Tage - Quinn Peterka - Cozens - Tuch It gives Tage 2 defensively sound guys with great passing. It gives Cozens 2 linemates who are fast and will support him by driving the net.
  3. Next year, Nikita Novikov should get some votes but he needs another NA year first. If he cleans up his feet (agility and quickness) he will be an absolute terror for opposing forwards.
  4. Goodwill Hunting more likely still
  5. Will be hilarious when private equity can own 100% of a team and so they strip it of all usable assets over about 5 years, crater the product into the ground, and then sell it for whatever while giving huge paybacks to their PE clients. You know, like what most private equity firms do with brands these days... see Red Lobster. Does Ryan Reynolds have a private equity firm? He would be the perfect co-owner for Bills' fans.
  6. They need to run the pp from low to high, not high to low.
  7. Further more Trump is going to be prosecuted for stealing top secret documents and lying about them. But hey, it won't be that bad... right.
  8. Wallabees are dangerous rascals
  9. A... lets say friend of mine, was going after me during our fantasy draft about how you don't see all the Harris signs and banners and flags like you do for Trump and that's how he knows trump will win. I stated quite plainly that politicians are not celebrities, they are employees of the people and should be treated as such. Nancy Pelosi, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, whoever is not above me in any way shape or form. Therefore I don't worship any of them as such and I think the worship, and it is worship, of Trump is sickening. It is the most un-patriotic thing you can do, worship and value a politician over your country. Trump himself is no patriot, he's a grifting scammer who hates everyone except for those who give him something, like money or fealty. "He won't be that bad" was the most laughable thing anyone said to me in January of 2017. No, Trump was worse.
  10. I see no reason why Jack Quinn alone can't have 24g and 22a which was skinner last year or even the 30g 30a that is basically Skinner's average.
  11. I think a line of Benson - Cozens - Quinn is magical mainly because I think Quinn and Benson are so smart with so many tools that it will be difficult to contain them.
  12. I'll give Krebs this year and then I would like to move him if he hasn't figured it out. I can bring up Kulich and Rosen, and Helenius next year if I need someone to be defensively sound and score 7goals.
  13. Idk, every time I doubt Zach Benson he just proves me wrong so I have an odd level of faith in his ability to be a playmaking winger who is good on the boards.
  14. Zemgus Girgensons scored 15 goals in his second season. He never scored 15 again and wouldn't even hit 12 again for another 5 years. I can pick exceptions to rules to but here is the real question I have for you. Should the Buffalo Sabres spend another 2-3 or more years trying to make Krebs into a whatever goal scorer all while it negatively impacts them on the ice or should they simply see if he manages it this year and then move on? If Krebs turns into a 20g scorer for 2-3 seasons when hes 28, 29, 30... should I give a F? Should I waste my teams seasons to wait and hope? Sam Bennett scored 28goals ONCE. He has 1 other 20 goal season to his name. Ryan Hartman scored 30+ goals once and has 1 other 20 goal season to his name. I highlight those two because these are career years you are citing and that isn't what everyone has every year. Hartman is a 16ish goal scorer and Bennett is a 15g scorer and basically has been every year except for the one you cited.
  15. Trumps off his rocker. He's shown lots of signs of decline in his cognition and offers nothing when he speaks. It's just 95% whining about people who don't worship him.
  16. This is why teams use xgf% because it contextualizes shots. The Devils got worse analytically after Ruff left too. I like Lindy a lot and I'm hoping for the best.
  17. The pp was trash in 22-23 too. It just had like a 6 week period of tage olofsson one timers to mask how awful it was.
  18. Can I be honest? I don't care. They didn't do this over a full season and it's been 13 years of them not doing it over a full season.
  19. I'd argue the SHL is better than Liiga
  20. Prospect ranking isn't about who's closest to the NHL imo.
  21. You wanna take the over on everyone, I don't. We're a forward short still.
  22. Almost all these guys were 18 or 19 in their first year. Comparing them to guys who are 24 as rookies and now 25 or 26 seems flawed. Age matters here.
