Links to pay sites are a problem here. Not sure what the solution is. Expand Agree on the “experts” comment. I’ve noticed inconsistency (depending on who posts it), with what copy and paste jobs some posters do. I’ve seen posters copy and paste multi paragraphs right from Athletic and other sites and no one says a thing. And other posters do the same thing, and it’s deleted or they are scolded for doing so. Either allow it all or don’t allow any of it. It’s confusing. Maybe just don’t say where “you” got the info from ?♂️ Quote

If I thought Casey was better going into last season than Pettersson I lost my mind. That is crazy talk and was. Hence my gif. Pettersson was almost guaranteed the calder even before the season started. Quote

Links to pay sites are a problem here. Not sure what the solution is. Expand Not really a problem for me. I look at it this way....if you want to pay for that subsciption that's up to you and the info you get from it can be used however you feel fit to do so. Personally, if I don't subscribe and miss out on something....my bad and it's on me. I just feel that most of these sites are very little fact and more opinion. I'm not into paying for someone's opinion even if it gets me a slight edge on what's happening. Most of these stories will come out eventually somewhere if their any good, especially when it comes down to hindsight. Quote

I expect constant improvement along the way and for him to continually look better and better. But he's still a child and had a lot of rough nights last year mixed in with the really impressive stuff. His consistency will keep improving. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted September 20, 2019 Report Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) The average age of this roster is going to drop even more next year when we move on from Bogo (29), Scandella (29), Hunwick (34), Wilson (27), Sobotka (32), and Sheary (27) and replace them with younger and cheaper models.
