Last of us is on my list as well as Bloodbourne (heard this is hard as hell but I like challenges). I hear Detroit is cool but I haven’t done my research to know about it enough. I feel God of War has ruined gaming bc nothing will be as good lol

God of war is an RPG right? Despise those. Just grind.

I think Stastny is going to resign in Winnipeg. Kind of why I think trouba gets moved.

I would be ok with Riley Nash. I think Bozak might get more then what people think he should.

- J35Bacher


Winnipeg doesn’t have anyone to replace Trouba and is probably losing Enstrom (although that’s probably a good thing).

Unless Trouba really wants out, they will try to keep him. He’s a good dman, but kind of injury prone too.

I used to love it for PS3. Recently got a PS4 and I blazed through God of War (amazing) and I’m trying to find another game to check for PS4. I have horizon zero dawn but I’m struggling to really stick with it and idk why. I was really looking forward to playing this game. But my main worry for The Show is what you described; regretting paying full price.

Download the free Demo of Detroit become human and see if it's a style you'd like. I'm really enjoying it right now. Damn fun to play.

EDIT: I see that my suggestion was Leight... Although I did point out the demo is free...

Its more an open world hack and slash game with a structured story line. Plenty of exploring and all that but there's not really a sense of just plowing through enemies for the sake of leveling up.

No, it's not an RPG. It's a combo of hack and slash and puzzle solving. Yes, you level up, but not in the RPG sense (i.e. you can get better weapons/magic, but they don't grow like they would in an RPG).

Edit: I agree though, the first God of War, when it broke, was the coolest game ever. As much as I liked Skyrim, and played it to death, it didn't have the same effect that God of War did.

I see JMACHETTE is our designated picker for the mock draft. Who we taking?
- J35Bacher


Not sure, I haven't checked hockeyfights.com yet to see who the best "natural Flyers" picks are.

They are going to have to spend on Wheeler and Laine soon. I think Trouba will cost too much with what they will need to start paying their young forwards. Maybe they resignTrouba if they can trade Myers.

My vote is for Isac Lundestrome at 14. KAndre Miller at 19.

I agree. However, if I was Winnipeg, I'd build around a core of Wheeler/Laine/Scheiffle/Ehlers on offense and Trouba/Morrissey/Byfuglien of defense. Whatever moves need to be made, within reason, to keep that core together would be made.

Ugh I hate Dubinsky, but that probably means I'd like him as our 3C
- five4fighting10


Dubinsky is a 4th liner at this point. Want no parts of spezza. Too slow. Too mercenarial

I'm leaning towards Hunter Drew with pick #14. #19 I may go for a really tall goalie.

Definitely give Bloodborne a try if you were interested. Best game released this generation hands down.

So I am a fan at looking at Spezza, if bought out, as a possible 3rd line center if you don't have one in house for next year. I think you could get him cheap and maybe on a 1 or 2 year deal.

Another name I am curious if anyone on here would be interested in if the same situation arises, Brandon Dubinsky. He is a pain in the ass to play against and he can kill penalties. I wonder if he would be a good short term and cheap for the 3rd line center role.

- J35Bacher

He’d be ok at the right price, but I’d prefer someone with more speed.

Some were shot so quickly they didn’t have time to consider terror. Just insane. Imagine being in one of the later boats and just seeing several wiped out cleanly before touching sand. No escape; terrifying just thinking about it.

If you weren't shot or blown up you were lucky to not drown.

Spezza is a sack of poop.

Slow and the next LeCavalier.

Club needs to stay with the times and increase its speed, not go the other way.

Re the 3C spot for next year:

I don’t think the Flyers have anyone in house ready to fill that spot in 2018-19, but I think they will soon. So, with that in mind, I’d be open to a UFA but only on a 1 or 2 year deal or a trade for someone with no more than 2 years left on his deal.

I want someone with good wheels, that is consistently better than 50% on draws and is a good, proven PKer. He also needs to be able to put up at least 10-12 goals and 25 points at ES.

Not sure if that guy is available, but that is what I’d be looking for.

I'm 31. Our generation is financially (frank)ed. Just about everyone I know around my age that owns a house lived with their parents deep into their 20's to save up for a down payment. Add in the absurd cost of student loans these days and it's really the norm for a lot of people to come back home after school.
- hereticpride


Yup that's right but meanwhile let's keep opting for politicians who can't control spending and ballooning the national debt. Yes, let's have college courses for everything so everyone can go to college. Prices actually go down when demand is high right.

Just tax those pesky greedy rich people more.

Novel idea here. Don't go to college unless your going to be a doctor, engineer, scientist etc.
A PH.D. In art history or women's studies might not be a wise choice.
Make everyone and I mean everyone pay taxes. You'll see a lot of BS with politicians and spending stopped.
