Rumor has it Howden is responsible for the fires out west too

Well that's a good point too lol

There was no hype around Kakko last season?????????? And besides no one is saying Howden had a fantastic amazing season. They are saying they like him. Both are very young players put in NHL spots partly before they really were ready. Just like scouts say they like Kakko,so yeah, food for thought whether you like it or not lol There are differences of course but to just point at one and say analytics say otherwise then ignore analytics for the other seems a bit odd. I have more faith on Kakko being an above average NHL player but they both seem to have qualities that might hinder that from happening.

I’d assume he means obviously for the 4th line which we all agree we need, no? I mean I don’t want Martin at all but one of the other two in 4th line roles for Low cost sure.

Analytics paint a pretty grim picture for Kakko too. Just food for thought.

I would too but it won’t happen. I have a feeling though Trouba is going to be much much better for us in the coming years. Had to be a huge adjustment from the peg to here and I’m sure there were plenty of distractions with everything forcing the move here partly for his future and fianc

Er I don’t know. Last year splits makes it look like Hank sorta had a good amount of games cherry picked for him. https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/l/lundqhe01/splits/2020 https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/g/georgal01/splits/2020 And besides, it’s also about thinking if something went wrong with Shesh, who would you feel more comfortable riding. At this point, unfortunately for Hank, it’s not him with his performance and age. Hank is on the decline. Georgie is still learning his craft and young enough to improve.

Remember when he had upside? Pepperidge farm remembers

Here is a list of the 72 members of Law Enforcement and 343 FDNY that were killed on this day. Never forget. https://www.odmp.org/search?cause=Terrorist+attack&from=2001&to=2001&filter=nok9 http://www.fdnylodd.com/Memorials/343-Firefighters

I actually have a very strange story about the WTC. I was dating a girl that worked there at the time. The night before, she was sick. Lived in Chinatown. I was 25 at the time I think, she was 24. She was from a fairly traditional family so they didn’t know we stayed together s lot. She would tell her family she is staying at a coworkers house when she was working late. Anyway, night before I’m trying to get her to take off work which she rarely does. Finally around 11pm I convince her and drive to NYC to pick her up. She kinda creeps out and comes with me. We wake up the following morning to the obvious news and were in utter shock. It changed both our lives forever because after finally hours later when she finally got through to her family to say she was okay (phones were all messed up everywhere) we made a pact to treat life a bit differently and travelled together around Asia. Just get out there and see things because you never know. It’s what ended up with me living in China for years. To be honest, we aren’t in touch anymore but It’s just so weird how life ends up. One quick left turn and you just never know what you might have been spared of sometimes. As for losing some friends, now in law enforcement I’ve lost a few older friends to 9/11 related cancers that were deployed there for the weeks afterwards. To all those victims and those that made the ultimate sacrifice for fellow man, we all salute and honor you.

Plus to say he doesn’t give a fuck about his hair style is an understatement

Exactly. You can’t have a season like this. Baseball doesn’t work tournament style. It’s completely against the integrity of the sport. Baseball is a marathon. Changing that into a gimmick just makes this seem silly.

If the article is correct, they are buying out Hank or I suppose trading him. That would mean Georgiev probably stays on a 2 year reup. They aren’t getting rid of both.

Baseball lost me when they do 7 inning double headers and starting extra innings with guys already on base. It’s the dumbest thing ever. It’s like adding two point goals to hockey lol

Some here are fickle. I’m still on the train lol. Or Point but he’s playing so well, thry won’t get rid of him unless they win the cup and decide to plan for other things.

Hank was pretty shocking. For those that have seen the wire, Stringer Bell was a good wow moment

Baseball restarted? Lol

I dunno. I thought 8-2 was fun. This was maybe funner lol

There definitely is so,etching to be said if we kept Strome for another year, then traded him at the deadline if we aren’t in a position to win. He would fetch a good amount if he has a similar tear to last.

I mean that’s a little rough. Strome did have a 50 point season prior and was a 5th overall pick. He lost his way for a bit but still. He’s a talented player.

Yeah I thought there was something like that but wasn’t sure. Do you know if it’s 50% of his cap hit specifically or 50% of what’s owed to him since his signing bonus and the like are already paid out

Isles fans are like cockroaches. Hide until conditions are juuust right and them multiply and scatter around spreading disease lol

Technically you’re in a better place if you approach Hank with a list of x amount of teams willing to take him and ask him where he wants to go. Offer to retain 4-5m of it or so. It saves the dead cap space for 21/22. I say Colorado.

Uh oh.... I mean, the flat cap does give the Rangers the perfect excuse I suppose.

I’m not really sure Montreal would be interested in Strome. They probably would get more out of resigning Domi than trading for Strome and trying to get him under the cap for more than a year and have it be reasonable. I’d think thry would be more interested in ADA
