Description from the owner

Do you have the power?

With a prime location in the Barren Wilderness of Eternia, this incomparable palace has everything you need to enjoy an out-of-this world vacation. Formerly the Hall of Wisdom - a meeting place for the Council of Elders - Castle Grayskull’s new owner, the Sorceress, has been hard at work remodeling the hall. Her renovations have transformed the castle into a storehouse for the ancients’ power and secrets and a luxury vacation retreat.

Perched on an isolated crag in a remote location, Castle Grayskull commands stunning views of the surrounding bottomless abyss. If you’re looking to get away from it all, you’ve come to the right place! Few people know the castle’s location, and the Jawbridge can be lifted to ensure complete seclusion and security.

While the Castle is isolated, modern amenities allow you to stay connected to the rest of Eternia. The Sorceress recently installed WiFi in the throne room, and the Hall of Secrets is equipped with a 60” HD plasma TV, complete with Netflix and premium cable. The abyss can be filled and used as a swimming pool if requested in advance. Upon check-in, Man-At-Arms will guide you to your castle and remain on call, should you need any assistance during your stay.

Castle Grayskull has been the preferred refuge for Eternia’s elite since the time of King Grayskull himself. Frequent guests include Prince Adam, She-Ra, and He-Man. The Eternian royalty use the castle as a convenient escape and launching point, as the Travel Corridor Chamber provides access to some of the planet’s best adventures.

Castle Grayskull makes an excellent retreat for all heroic travelers and Masters of the Universe. Just one night in this vacation rental will have you claiming, “I have the Power!”

Tigers and unicorns OK, other pets welcome at owner’s discretion.

Hmmmm, i suppose my point would be Burke is a moron. You think 5.5million is too much? Look at what guys are scoring on the free market, look at Connolly and Pleks?. Do any of you actually believe you would be able to replace Grabo with a cheaper, yet productive asset??? The leafs goal-tending is a disaster, for some reason your defense is a mess. If the team loses Grabo you literally have zero NHL caliber centers. Bla bla bla Bozak, he aint consistent. That is my point.

Oh yeah, I understand that...I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Based on Burkes trade record with us thus far, I doubt he'd be willing to do that type of deal anyways...hopefully lol

I think if we get anyone from the Blue Jackets, it's Carter, not Nash.

Same ages, roughly the same numbers, but Carter has a better contract, and is a centre.

Please note: the bit about being a centre is the main thing.

I am now hearing TB has traded Kyle Quincey to DET. Working on details but sounds like Quincey to DET for a first-round pick. Verifying.

Good pickup by Yzerman. Quincey will be great on that PP.

Now Bob McKenzie is saying Quincey to Detroit for a 1st round pick. Not to Tampa.

Gotta love it when two teams mostly considered "sellers" make a trade this close to the deadline. Like this deal for both teams. You?

I agree completely, and if we're dealing with Columbus I hope Carter is the target and not Nash.

Would it be possible for the Leafs to grab Carter and still be able to afford to renew Grabo, or more likely he goes back the other way? Would be nice to have the added stability down the middle without taking away from what we already have

Colorado just traded the same guy twice? That's almost Lou-like in it's rule-bending splendour.

I think he means Tampa then flips Quincey to Detroit for the 1st.

Was that you who tried to erase that double? I find whenever I try to do that the whole site (frank)s up. Let's see if it does.

No hope in heck Columbus would take Grabbo the other way. He's a UFA at the end of the year, and there is no way he - or any guy, for that matter - will commit to staying with the train wreck that is Columbus.

Blue Jackets will want picks, or better yet, young guys who can make a contribution today, who are signed to long-term deals (i.e., they can't escape).
