Star Wars discussion

Of course he would end up evil. He was prophesied to bring balance to the force which was overwhelmingly in favor of the light side at his birth. This.

Off Season Moves Thread

It is not realistic to sign a bunch of bottom 6 players, for bottom 6 money, that could step in and play top 6 time to cover for multiple long-term injuries.

Commercials that I hate

That obnoxious chick in the Panera commercial shoving salad in her face repeatedly - because "clean dressing" is sooooo darn good. LITERALLY makes me want to punch the TV. #instarage
I wish grass and leaves made my taste buds happy... but I guess that I lean a bit more towards the carnivore side.

He is barely a boarderline NHLer. Would almost be more a signing for WBS than Pittsburgh.

Well, they could eat half and trade him...advantage us is that Scuderi is only owed $3M this year and $2.5M the following but carries a cap hit of $3.375. Meaning for teams with a tough budget, he's obtainable for lesser investment. You're talking about now a veteran who does a pretty fair job talk...

Duper has been cleared to play

Dupuis doesn't have an ego. He doesn't do thing "his way" only. Crosby, Malkin and even Kunitz... they do not adjust to the situation, they keep doing their thing. Dupuis was always good because he was the only one of those 4 that was willing to be fluid.

He is completely wrong about the compensation... so what is to say he is right about anything else in the article? His source is probably 5AF.

Officially not an sth anymore. They are still trying to retain me as a half season plan holder.

This is an offseason move for me.
I thought about doing this this past year but re-upped. I will not renew next year though.

Engo and it's not close.
I still say that when Engo's agent called him and said "Calgary, 3 years, $2.9M" Engo said yes without pause. He then asked "Is it something like $1M, $1M, $900K?" His agen then had to inform Engo that it was $2.9M per year, $8.75M total.
