  1. I believe Quinn's floor is Alex Steen with a bit more skill, and his ceiling is being 90% of Mitch Marner. The probability he hits each can be roughly represented by the distribution below. I believe Peterka's floor is Afinogenov (average Max, not peak) and his ceiling is Nikita Kucherov. I believe Savoie's floor is Mitts before we liked him, and his ceiling is Briere I believe Kulich's floor is Armia and his ceiling is Vanek After running my models and integrating these functions I use the singular scalar output to rank them as follows: Quinn = JJP > Savoie >> Kulich JJP has best ceiling, Quinn has best floor. All will see the NHL, Savoie has potential to be the worst/least NHL-capable player there but his ceiling beats Kulich who I think could find a way down avenues Matt cannot
  2. it was a good mock
  3. I hate losing JJ but if kevyn wheels and deals like this to make sure the streak is over I'm not gonna complain.
  4. Sounds like good reading. Is anything more pathetic than someone so mentally/spiritually conquered as to think like this
  5. I love trades
  6. We are still the worst team in the league like 3 years ago, or still a 75 point team like last year? I want better goalies too man but you are being stupid
  7. "Would have" The offseason begins next week my friend
  8. I cant wait. Online bills discussions will become several orders of magnitude more intelligent and tolerable.
  9. I will refrain from condoning or condemning the phenomenon
  10. I've seen that view a lot, including here - "psh, these greedy corporations are just doing this for the money, they don't care about LGBT/whatever cause" It's not really true though, the people and organizations in charge of setting up pride night are emphatic believers in the cause, this holds all the way up the chain Ten years ago I remember the boomers in my life laughing off the college-aged "advocate" - wait until they hit the real world, they said. They'll grow up, mellow out, stop fiercly believing in [whatever]. The same boomers now are cynical that "corporations" and "the rich" are into "pride night" for anything other than cash or avoiding attaq. Newsflash, pal! Those "advocates " DID graduate and assume their roles in society, sometimes important ones, including running big corporations What was the view of only the 'enlightened' in society 15 years ago has trickled to the rest of it now, it is the default People want to grumble about corporations and watch Jon Stewart pick on W, but the world is different now, attempting to project mental models built in that era to explain things that happen today doesn't work, which is why everyone that talks about the issues is such a midwit
  11. I propose a mass ban event when the Bills win the super bowl in the next few years, @SDS
  12. The only answer is playoffs in April 2024 He could do absolutely nothing and I'd be very worried but if it resulted in the playoffs, I'd have to consider it a success. Meanwhile if I came up with 4 player additions that would constitute my perfect offseason and he made all of them but we sucked, it would be a failure (one that I'd be more forgiving of than if he didn't do anything and we missed, mind you)
  13. Good call, I was reading off a list that ranked the roster on scoring so I just grabbed 12 forwards I happened to see and remember I remember him being a decent PKer actually
  14. I don't hate Ralph as much as most do, but I wonder if looking at his last team's roster is more damning of him than can be said for Phil or Dan or whoever. Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart Hall - Mitts - Cozens Olofsson - Tage - Staal Sheahan - Lazar - Rieder Dahlin - Montour McCabe- Miller Joki - Risto Ullmark The top line has 2 30+ goal wingers flanking the cup winner's 1C The second line has two young guys who would develop to be good players getting better, and a guy who played the second line this year on the best regular season team in history Third line has a 30 goal scorer even in a down year, a player that was just six months from a 38 goal season, and a guy who played bottom 6 mins on the cup finalist this year The fourth line has 2 legit 4th liners at the time at least The defense should have been legitimately good if the players in it played the way they did as soon as they left. Miller played top 4 mins, sometimes top pair, for a western conference finalist, Montour dominated for a cup finalist, McCabe was a highly sought after deadline piece. Sure some of the players in this lineup weren't what they are today, and bad injuries hit, but that probably should not have been even close to a last place team, and they played like one right from the start
  15. What would your plan be if nashville doesn't want to trade him?
  16. I cant really speak for nil and don't understand his thought process completely. I definitely understand the possibilities of medical incompetence and skepticism of some or even many charities But I do know that the heaviest users of this word in my life are currently gloating that a submarine full of people is either crumpled or slowly starving them of oxygen at the bottom of the ocean, and are generally vicious and contemptible and ugly inside and out This doesn't have anything to do with you or nil, I am just triggered by the word empathy
  17. I've always been convinced that with a real roster Phil could still be coaching here.
  18. I ate at chef's once. I didn't think the sauce tasted very good and my meatball was one of the worst I've ever had. It had the consistency of jello
  19. 7 games? Gross When does the real schedule come out?
  20. I try not to give it to them. But man is it annoying when three of the top ten threads on TBD are about cowherd saying the same thing as last week
  21. This is good for the hockey karma ledger. Z needs to experience the playoffs with this organization. Sentimentally I want to see this happen as well
  22. I'd cut my pinky off to secure average goaltending all season long
  23. I guess im old school, I would not do 8x8.75 right now
