if he is not the centerpiece in a trade for a top winger or top pair d man, there is no reason to move him

I am sure 99% of the people agree on that

This is the exact reason we're better off keeping him. If he's not going to get you the player you want on his own, he's more valuable to keep, IMO.

Pretty sure I've had twice that much snow in my yard for a week now. I think it's ridiculous that at this point cities in the south shut down because of 2 inches of snow. It happens every single winter. Maybe it's time people learned how to actually cope with it.

They don't have the equipment and it's more ice storms than snow.
I won't drive in it because most of the people down here can't drive in it.
Otherwise I'd be doing donuts on the highway while driving to work.

That's my point. It happens EVERY YEAR. Maybe it's time they just suck it up and buy the equipment. I could understand if it only happened once every 3-5 years. But it happens much more frequently than that.

But it only happens for like 2-3 days out of the year. That's a LOT of money, space, training, people, etc to invest in so little need.

Besides, don't be jealous cuz you can't miss work for an inch of snow.

I think they like having the days off... Or maybe they have the equipment ad not the know how and should hire some people from up north?

It happens like twice and year and sometimes not at all. So idk....

Yes it is... No garage or shed to put it in. Should have put it in my neighbors shed before this happened but that thing is a beast. I've left it out since 2009 and it still works.

It used to be that we'd go years without snowing here... Now it's every year.

Let me remind you, I had to work when I was trapped in my house under 7 feet of snow last year. I work for a global bank. Business can't come to a screeching halt because one of their operational centers got snow. We're all set up to be able to work remotely, so I'd have to do that anyway.

I'd rather come in to work. I have 2 monitors here and the connection isn't super slow. Working at home on a laptop isn't exactly ideal.

As far as the equipment goes, plenty of that equipment is multipurpose and would be able to get utilized during the warm months as well, so that's just an excuse.

I think it is the money. A lot to invest for very little to no return.

I am actually quite thankful they don't do anything. They don't use salt on the roads here. The bodys of your vehicles do not rust.
