Turk has confidence in both so I can see why, Geo gets this start. Sometimes you challenge yourself. Long season. We just are at the halfway point.

I do vaguely remember someone sampling Kashmir yeah

Fired the fuck up ! Let’s Go!

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord But been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord

Gonna start hanging out in his pizza places until he shows up

Heroes was also in one of EAs games way back when. Think NHL series but it could have been fifa

That one Penguin goalie that clocked DiPietro was pretty close.

Just need retention and Chytil to go the other way now or commit to trading him this offseason. I’ve heard the arguments against him and I know he’s an A on Seattle but he didn’t ask to go there and he signed his contract 2 years prior to being exposed to expansion. Reasons Why He’s a Great Fit - can play RW or C - can put up numbers in a top six role but seamlessly works out as a 3c as well - cup pedigree - character guy. Dude was an undrafted player that worked his way through the A until Tampa had no choice but to take him seriously and never looked back - just turned 30 but doesn’t have a lot of miles. Was a rookie at 24 I believe - plays in all situations - is under contract for a few more seasons so if you are giving away assets, I’d rather be getting a guy that helps us on cup runs for multiple years - we need to realize Alf is not surpassing either Kreider nor Bread anytime soon. If we realize that, then it’s time to see who fits as a 3c on a line to not just help us win but help develop Alf. I believe Gourde 100% does that. How We Fit Him His cap hit is 5.166m until 2025. Chytil experiment is toast. We need retention which is fine for both Seattle or if we got a third team involved like Arizona. Seattle would have 30m in cap space. Arizona has 50m. We also need Chytil to go and lose his 2.3m cap hit. If you got a 2m in retention and traded Chytil, you are paying Gourde 3.16m to have him and trading Chytils 2.3m away. That’s a net gain of under 1m increase and having a player infinitely better suited for our team. That doesn’t affect our ability to retain other players. What would a trade look like? Well that’s the big question. Also Gourde has a ntc until this offseason when it goes to a limited one. This all assumes he doesn’t want to stay in Seattle and waste away until he’s 34/35. If you got a third team involved like Arizona and it’s true that Chychrun is available, then you see if Seattle is interested in a swap of Chychrun for Gourde. Then Arizona retains 2m or max 50% trading Gourde to us for Chytil, Lundkvist, and X (that’s a variable so who knows if they want a prospect or a pick. We have both in spades). It definitely can work and if Chytil goes and a little retention, we come away so much better tomorrow than we are today. And the beauty is that it still doesn’t take away from our ability to still add a playoff rental monetarily at least.

Arizona, Seattle, Philly probably by mid Feb, Chi, Buff

God please yes.

And the shame, was on the other side Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever Then we could be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes We can be heroes We can be heroes Just for one day

The most fired up for a game I've been in a while

They are in on the three team trade I’m suggesting

Kubalik gas been MIA most of this year but better late. I pass on him

How long? Not long. Cause what you reap is what you sow

It’s actually the perfect game to start Geo the more I think about it. We know he will be fired up and focused with ADA staring the other direction. Team can rally and bond more. And if he is lights out? He proves to both the coaching staff and NHL teams looking for a goalie that he’s a gamer.

I call BS with DeBrincat. He’s 24 and their best player not named Kane, and still has another year left on his deal.

I think it’s less of protecting him and more of “let’s see really what he’s got” before the trade deadline passes. As much as these are test games, they also are test games to know your own players. I don’t think we have Shesty doubts in terms of opponents.

Wordle 216 5/6 made me chuckle

@josh To answer your question btw, Boyle left the year after our finals trip. Forget a boot it stayed a couple more years.

Did you mention Br Bo

Lol I mean that quite from Rooney though. “Tough building.” I don’t care how good the Canes are doing. It’s going to be a building filled with Rangers fans.

Didnt @Jules fall in love and just disappear?

Well the end of the day you obviously just don’t want to see past 3.6m because all the things I listed show that he is being a pain in the ass to the opposition and contributing on both sides of the ice.
