Nice

My wife and I are in the process of buying a home out in the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago

It is a frustratingly tedious process but we are getting there

We hope to close sometime in Late August Early September

The Coach in waiting to replace the coach in waiting once fired......

Blues now have more head coaches than assistant General Managers. I didn't think that was possible.....

DA won't have to interview a new head coaching candidate for like 12 years now.

How exactly were we not able to get a deal done with EDM for Shattenkirk if Adam Larsson just fetched Taylor Hall??

The fact that he is signed for just over $4M per until 2021 probably had a lot to do with it.

good luck, I hope it goes well. Buying a home can be a sob.

My buddy bought a place in the burbs out there. He still kept the brwnstone he bought over by you on Race Ave.

holy crap. that is an insane price.

armstrong is correct in his valuation.

So on my amazon prime video I am takng the one week trial of showtime and watching billionaires or billions whatever it is called. I am really enjoying it.

If only the NHL had a better system for online I could dump my dish. HBO pulled off of their subscription on Amazon. I am guessing that got a bigger exclusivity play from somewhere. Like HBO shows but I could do without the social commentary and trying to tell me how I think. On Mahr's show he keeps saying climate change it is a scientific consensus. You know what else was once touted as a scientific consensus in America? Eugenics.

Anyone ever do the work replacing their soffit and facea on their homes?

Other semi news you may or may not be aware of-- check your mutual funds for the percent invested in either banks that are doing heavy commericial realestate financing or directly own or lease commericial real estate. That bubble is about to burst hard.

It also likely infers either 1) Shattenkirk's salary ask or 2) Shattenkirk's willingness to extend in Edmonton.

I'm still stunned by the lack of return for Hall and disappointed that this easily could mean that Eberle is no longer on the table.

Nobody mentioning PK Subban for S Weber. As a Blues fan, I'd rather the Preds have kept Subban.

Three years younger, taller... Could be that Shatty doesn't want to sign an extension in Edmonton...

Oh, btw- Mr Shattenkirk was a cool -14 last year?!

The bigger head scratcher was Bergevin dealing Subban for Weber?

David Poile looks like a frickin genius right now.

Larsson is not as flashy but I would take him over Shatty any day, especially with that contract. He logs top pair minutes, suppresses shots, and had the highest plus rating of all the D men on his team. Hall is a lot to give up but they have plenty of firepower up front, what they desperately need is a guy like Larsson.

But yeah I'm guessing Shatty declined to extend in EDM, at least at the price they were hoping for.

Yeah that's a head scratcher. The only downside for Nash is if Weber retires early and they get hit with a substantial cap penalty.

What the hell happened? I turn away from obsessively going over hockey news and nthing. i stop for a few hours and madness.

The preds just got a lot better. That was a big move. Of course in later years they might get hit with that cap recapture. But until then life is great.

Adam Larsson is not good enough to be exchanged for Hall alone. He is also not a better player to have than Shattenkirk at this point. Though he is younger and has what appears to be a friendly deal.

What in the hell?

According to Garth Backes already sold his home. But he said last month. Why would he sell his home in May during the play offs?

Garth also suggested, "Honestly speaking, I see Backes getting $5 million to $5.5M AAV over three seasons on his next deal.". I believe Backes said no to this very offer. So if he takes it now with someone else why? What does that say about what is going down in the lockerroom? Of course Garth has really no concept of hockey so...l

wow. and why in the hell did Stamkos resign for he earlier rejected?

I no longer understand this landscape.

Shocked to see the Subban / Weber trade. Great deal for Nashville. Don't understand it from Montreal's perspective.

Does Stamkos stay in Tampa because that's where he's truly comfortable playing as opposed to having his every pimple examined by the Toronto media?

Were I a team, I would have been nervous as heck to pour a lot of dollars into Stamkos with blood clot issues. Guys have had to retire because of this. (Haven't they?)

I'm certain a Shattenkirk to Edmonton deal could not be consummated simply because Shatty said no-way am I signing a deal to play there past this season. They don't want another Chris Pronger exodus.

With Stamkos off the market, I'm all but certain someone will overpay for Backes.

I'm simply hoping the Blues can retain Troy Brouwer and get a good return for Shatty.
