Job and General Employment Thread
Some of you have casually followed my journey at my company over the last while...pretty wild ride, but it's officially at an end. Out of absolutely nowhere, I was let go on Friday. After more than 10 years...I'm the product owner (with by far the most knowledge of how our flagship software works) ...

Best Player Ever: Connor McDavid
Has he passed Crosby yet? Crosby should be close to 5 in career value, even with missing time for neck meat during his prime... He hasn't passed Crosby yet for me... My man ;) I consider Crosby the best player on the planet for more than ten years. Around 2006 to 2017. His silverware is a bit low c...

Poll: Top Penguins of all time project -- interest?
I can submit a list if you think I can contribute. However, It will focus very heavily consist of players from the first Stanley Cup up to now. To be clear - you want us to rate players for their Penguins career? So Iginla is worth close to 0 even though he is a HoFer... Edit: It sounds like a lot o...

Damm it. Seems I am living in 2017... I could entertain a trade built around Graves, however...The oft-injured 31 year old captain of his team with a full NMC that has six years left at $7.75 per who is playing at 46 point pace since 2021-22...?

I agree. It is stupid to keep a soon to be UFA if you aren't a contender but can get assets for him.People need to get over losing Jake.
Without a contract in place, it was the smart move and the right move.

GDT #63: Pens vs Oilers
GMKD did nothing for 5 months and then threw in the towel. I'd be pissed, too. It’s insane how quickly the media and fans soured on Dubas. He walked into a real **** situation and made some moves that were fairly well praised before the start of the season. Well, except for Graves. He’s tasked with...

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness
IMO, that seems to be a bigger knock on the pro scouting team than it is Dubas given how little time he had in the org prior to free agency. Feels like we need to clean house in scouting aside from the new guys he brought in in August. To note, this isn't me saying that Dubas is free of blame, espe...

I would try to keep Marner if I were Toronto. Quite young and a superstar.
As mikey said. Drop JT instead. Unless you get a shitload of assets for Marner...
Edit: I would want something like a Makar or Rasmus Dahlin ++ in return for Marner... and I don't think I would get that.

The referees have let quite much go. For example a club swing.
Pens should have the same PP conversion as the Swedish team

I prefer the fourth line to be fast and play hard, but still being able to handle the puck better than meow. In theory, Reaves was that, so I thought it was a great player to add. But with a slightly too high price tag trade wise. I know that fast, tough and great puck handling is like a wet dream f...

Like we have said the last two seasons. It feels good to have a backup that is better than meow. Unfortunately, it is a prerequisite when Jarry is your starter. He is great, but can't stay healthy.

I am quite sure that more Ukrainians have died due to Russian occupation so far, than those that have died in battle and explosions. And it is not even close. Additionally, Russia has kidnapped 100 000+ children to brainwash and make Russian... Appeasing Putin would mean that they abandon all Ukrain...

The Ukrainians seem to prefer to risque their lives on the battlefield instead of being tortured, r***d and killed in Russian facilitites. Consequently, they are motivated and have so far show that they are capable fighters and tacticians. I think that the human cost for NATO could be almost zero, s...

I admit that I have drunk Ukrainian cool-aid, but I think that they are currently winning. Their goal has not been to recapture territory but to destroy the Russian military. It seems like Russia is low on active manpower, ammunition and armored vehicles. They will have to draft much more citizens t...

Analphabets without skills, that will cost the taxpayers much more money than they put into the system, not so much. It depends on how you want to categorize this.

As a libertarian, I am generally supportive of open borders and free migration. The problem is that open borders are incompatible with a welfare state. If immigrants have no ability to make financial demands upon me (whether directly or indirectly through taxation), then I don't care how many come ...
