He's become worse than Hallfan

He wants so badly for people on this site to think he's smart for some reason he goes on these Hallfan blog posts all the time and tells us how he's in these tough University classes and is looking at applying to med schools... we don't care.

(frank) you, ya filthy, socially-maladjusted, (frank)witted mongoloid twat-sack! Go eat the most egregiously large and slimy bag of severed zebra Richards that you can find.

If you're at a loss for where to find such a bag, try Laughs' closet. He's working on a big project to unveil a zebra Richard inspired dildo as well as a fleshlight designed for zebra Richards in order to take advantage of the massive market for zebra fleshlights. Its a burgeoning market that he's REALLY ahead of the curb on.

I don’t ever want to see any of you question my love of pork roll now that I know Canadians eat zebra Richards.

Can't fault you for that one bit.

Bigger bust Yakupov or Bennett?

Easily Anthony Bennett. Guy was a total bust.

And yes I know you're talking about the hockey Bennett, but I'm trying to make BasketballBuzz a thing.

My Gawd, How did the Oil screw up their roster so much

Would this really be worse than you have now? All you needed to do was NOTHING to have this lineup

Yakupov McDavid Kassian
Hall Draisatl Puljujarvi
Eberle Nuge (#16 overall that was traded for Reinhart)
Pouliot Letestu Maroon


Nurse Klefbom
Sekera FindaGuy

There's this thing called a cap salary.

Defense is horrible. Like worse than Toronto's. Talbot would have to be amazing.

Klefbom is not a RHD. Nurse is not a top pairing. Pouliot is so bad. Yakupov is awful.

Jesus Christ you like to make shyt up to try to look smart. But all I does is make you look even dumber if that's possible. Get a life. Write a novel with a bunch of made up bs much Hallfan? Happy Easter edmhockeyfan
- Iggysbff

That "shyt" is from the data you brought up (Mistakes against and major mistakes) within that blog. Only thing I did was normalize and create a relative ratio with respect to time to show how well each player faired off defensively (using Major mistakes & mistakes against only) compared to each other.

Happy Easter to you too.

I don't care if people think I'm smart, dumb, or whatever. Just get pissed when people don't present an argument and go straight to name-calling for no reason or than to avoid an argument. Furthermore, it's nice to ask for opinions on topics and talk about other things as well, and considering I'm in school, might as well talk about that.

If you think I'm a moron, alright. I just don't get why you're always grumpy/so pessimistic all the time. Doesn't hurt to be decent once in a while.

Ĺook who you're arguing with originally. Facts are not a point it's about opinion or one person's perception of knowledge. Everyone else is a JB. Stop bringing facts and long winded replies to a window licking fight.
- wreckage

True.
Time for me to just realize this as a reality and do something else with my time.

Trust me man, Iggy isn’t an anomaly. You’ll meet many people with similar ways of viewing the world, especially when you enter the workforce full time. Don’t let it get to you.

Also for what it’s worth, I rather enjoy your constant optimism, even if I don’t always share it. Except your love for Marchenko. Never did get that. 😏

Yeah, seems like that will be the case, as sad as it may be. Just don't get why he is like that. If he was even a little bit more reasonable with regards to his pessimism, he would be a great person to argue with because of that pessimistic perspective and looking at things half glass empty, of which I do need to take note of more often, but it seems more so he looks at it as the glass is (frank)ing shattered.

Danke, though. Optimistically, I just try to be as positive as I can. Possibly just a trait of being young I guess. Marchenko was a gamble on my part. He had some solid traits, but I did ignore some questionable aspects in his game. Ah well. Didn't end well with respect to where I thought he would end up, but hey, seems like he is doing alright in the KHL.

Afraid so. Don't worry though, life will break you down soon enough.

As far as the KHL goes, wasn't Linden Vey like the top scorer there this year?

That team is not over the salary cap, even with McDavids soon to be pay raise

Is Larsson a top pairing D, Is Russel?

Point being, by doing nothing, as bad as some of those players are, you'd still be MILES ahead of where you are now

The defense is miles ahead of where it was in 2015-16.

They had no RHD other than (frank)ing Gryba. It was a mess. They would've been a lot more successful this season had Talbot not poop the bed and Klefbom and Sekera were to be healthy.

Yakupov: .875 million
McDavid: 12.5 million
Kassian: 1.950 million
Hall: 6 million
Draisaitl: 8.5 million
Puljujarvi: .925 million
Eberle: 6 million
Nuge: 6 million
Barzal: .863.3 Million
Pouliot: 4 million
Letestu: 1.8 million (and would need to be signed and would likely have a decent year) so like 2.5 million
Maroon: 4 million (likely what he'd sign for)

Forwards are 54,113,333 million a year with both Barzal and Puljujarvi's new deals looming. Eberle's contract would expire at the end of next season and Hall's at the end of that. Both would be looking for a raise.


Sekera: 5.500 million
Klefbom: 4.167 million
Nurse .863.333 million (and a pay raise) so between 2.5 million to 3 million

12,667,000 for defense

Talbot: 4,166,667 million

So in total that team would cost 70,947,000 million. But wait, they still have Slepyshev at .925 million, Caggiula at the same price, Khaira at .675 million and Pakarinen at .725 million. So now the cap is at 74,197,000


The cap is projected rise to 78 million - 82 million so with four million to eight million they'd need to sign:

a number one RHD, a top 4 RHD and a bottom pairing which won't count for a lot. Plus a backup goalie.

Then they'll need space for Eberle, Barzal and Puljujarvi's contract at the end of the 2018-19 season.

The defense would be unbearable, especially if Sekera and Klefbom had terrible years.

See why your comment is stupid and why hindsight doesn't work

I'm not talking about next year, 2 years from now, 3 years with contracts "looming"

I'm talking about RIGHT NOW, TO-DAY....

Sure, you'd have Holes in the lineup, But YOU HAVE HOLES NOW!

You can't be much worse than you are now, look at the standings

If you could undo

#16 for Reinhart
Hall for Larsson
4 years 16 million for Russel
Eberle for Strome
6 million per for Lucic


Which one you going to do again? Which one was a solid move?

Every move, and I mean every move has been a Mistake in hindsight

All the Oil had to do was nothing with their roster and resign their RFA's and they'd be in a better place
